Don't be Square

You are a square robot in a dying grey world. Your only objective is to get to each recharging station before you run out of power. *As a robot, you can't control the way you move in the air, so each jump has to be aimed using slopes.*

Controls

WASD to move

Space to jump

R to restart

NOTE: I am not using github at the moment because for some reason it is uploading at 80 KiB/s which is awful considering how big Unity likes to make it's project files. If I was using SDL or something it wouldn't be a problem but I wasn't confident that I could have implemented this game in SDL in only 48 hours.

I love how you've used the "can't move while jumping" limitation as a mechanic. Very sneaky puzzles as well! Awesome

Really nice puzzles and well executed. I really like the guitar sounds! Very creative. It would be good if there was some alarm or indicator when your power is getting low so that you can more easily learn about the fact that the top left number represents how much "movement" you have left. Great entry, though!
