I got the game to quit itself when I opened the door in the grassy area and then it closed on top of me. Finished it after trying again.\r\rI found switching modes to be a bit awkward - it'd be nice to have a different key bound to each. Oh and the music stopped after the title screen, which was a shame because it's nice and quite long."},{"author_name":"ColonierGames","author_uid":"31550","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:24pm","epoch":1387311540,"text":"Yea, bugs happen when you sleep 5 hours in 3 days...

I think you could use height more and make falling interesting. Teleporters are not that fun, they are just obvious waypoints and sometimes you can't tell their orientation. Also I think that this game is similar to eets. The most interesting stuff could be planned beforehand and then played without user interaction. Similarly you could use 'stand', 'duck', 'jump' states and allow shooting only while standing, for example. Then user would plan moving path taking into account pits, enemies, obstacles. That would not suit the theme but it would be more interesting in my opinion. Other than that good work on graphics, level editor(!)."},{"author_name":"ColonierGames","author_uid":"31550","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 11:46pm","epoch":1387582860,"text":"Thanks! Bad thing is that I used half of my time to make the level editor and didn't have time to balance the game and fix all bugs :("},{"author_name":"pele","author_uid":"30821","time":"Dec 21, 2013 @ 12:54am","epoch":1387586940,"text":"I usually don't like puzzles but I enjoyed switching my robot between multiple forms. Btw, I couldn't finish the game because it eventually crashed. Embedding an editor with your game is a huge plus (at least to me).
