-------

You are the first hyper-intelligent humanoid robot.

Unfortunately you run out of battery every 10 seconds.

-------

Controll the robot with the left and right arrow keys. Jump with the up-key.

Pick up white energy to keep you battery charged, but watch out for the red energy which will drain your battery even quicker!

Too easy. I was bored after 244 seconds and did let the player suicide.
I like the main character.
The music is ok.

Doesn't run on my system. :( The screenshots look very nice though.

I enjoyed this once I figured it out. The game over message is delightful. :D

Need more things to do to be funny : another gameplay brick, or a better level design. The character is funny and the music is nice.

I would put tha character closer to the left edge of the screen.Gives the player more time to think.

I love your art and music, the art is a really cool kind of surreal and the music sounds like early 70's techno

Great visuals but the gameplay is a little simple. I also think the movement speed is a bit slow. Good attempt.

Loved the background and the player sprite

It looks very nice. I loved the character. Maybe it needs some additional game mechanic to keep the player interested? Solid work though.

Really nice visuals and aesthetic you have going. I made a game about a robot too. :)

Nice visuals but not very much to play here. Also, there's no way to reset game?

Nice looking game. It was kind of hard to see the batteries so you could pick them up. Good animations and backgrounds too.

I like the graphics (particularly the robot and the that background you've done is awesome) and LOVE the music like I think it's the best so far or close to it! Controls are a little bit frustrating, could do with working on the game feel in the post jam version and adding variety and difficulty to it.

That's a pretty awesome robot.

Mechanically very simple. I really live what you're doing with the blend modes in the background. It looks really nice.
Infin829 Aug 2013, 15:34
Great Aesthetic overall. Would have liked the player to be closer to the left and faster as well. BTW, walking left also makes the number flip.
MuciojadPL29 Aug 2013, 15:51
Not bad. I like the main character, it's very pleasure. In the long run gets a bit boring, but like a 48 hours work is quite not bad :) ++ for good graphic style!

Not a fan of the controls/physics in this one. Great graphics and ambience though.

Nice art. Agree with others on the movement speed, etc. Just didn't feel right. Some places where you can't avoid a red dot. But, a very nice effort for 48 hrs and a nice base to build on. Keep going! Polish and add to it.

Really cool, like the aesthetics in the background, and the whole game kind of gives me machinarium vibes. Nice to play, a little frustrating when the character slows down however it still becomes enjoyable when the acceleration works in your favour. Good job on this.

I like the graphics, but that's pretty much the only thing I liked very much, it kind of drags on and it's really easy once you figure out how it works.. The music was just okay. So.. Thumbs up for graphics. I guess I'm going with the majority opinion here.

This game has awesome graphics. I really like the details like the number on the character's face actually moving around. Unfortunately the game-play was a little uninteresting. Just collecting white orbs and avoiding red orbs got pretty repetitive.

All the same, great work. I loved the aesthetic!

Cute graphics, but not that interesting a concept. Powerups were kind of hard to make out.

Liked the graphics, but gameplay is a bit empty...
Nice Game over message!

The character and the background are wonderfull, it create a unique atmosphere. However I found really hard the way the hero just stop when you are not pushing the key anymore. With more fluidity it could be even more fun.
Is there an end ? I went till 266 seconds but the landscape was still changing.
Reyn6 Sep 2013, 15:45
I never knew carpets made tvs slow down that much ;-) The robot was too close to the right edge of the screen for me, that did make the game a lot more intense though.
Linus Lindbergauthor6 Sep 2013, 19:37
@Colapsydo: There is no end but you can reach a point where it will run out of new objects in the background and there will just be empty sky :P

It felt like I was running through molasses. The music was pretty good and the visuals were pretty good.

Not great gameplay-wise, but I like the backgrounds.
