Pretty fun! I liked the enemy AI and art. Might be worth clarifying that you press space to jump! Also, I wasn't sure what to do at the long jump bit; there was a box dispenser nearby, couldn't see what I was supposed to do with it.

Thanks! Oh! Yes I'll update the space comment. You need to attach a yellow soda bottle to it, That will make it hover and then use it to get across the gap to the boss.

this is my favorite LD game so far. building a bridge of boxes supported by two liters was so good

The controls didn't make any sense at first, but fun to play with once i figured stuff out.

Loved the boss, good idea on the arrows to help the player out.

Loved the boss, good idea on the arrows to help the player out. Why no audio score?

Oh, the Music is open source, and the sounds only had minor remixing, I didn't feel it was fair to score the audio. Thanks though =) Thanks, the boss was added at the last hour haha =)

Simple and interesting game!

Very charming and I like the idea of a 3d printer as a weapon. I had some trouble with the control scheme though. Couldnt get cups or the soda bottle to do anything.

Thanks! Soda bottles make things float, if you get enough velocity on the mobs, they will hit their head on the ceiling and take damage, the cups just apply straight damage =)

Liked the different weapons and the movement felt nice for a platformer, if a bit floaty.
