PuzzleBot by minism
** NOTICE ** -- I recommend reading the instructions for the game at the bottom of the post before playing
There are, like my other two entries, some collision detection bugs with this game. It is possible for both the player and blocks to pass through one another when approached from some set of diagonal vectors. I wasn't able to figure this out under the time limit so unfortunately it had to stay in. Aside from that I'm happy with how this game turned out, I think its my best so far for LD48.
I'm going to go pass out now. Thanks for playing! :D
Also, ill be doing a stream at some point in the near future of play throughs of random LD26 games with some friends. I'll definitely make another post about that.

Game Instructions
---------------
You can control puzzle bot with WASD or Arrow keys. Use W, Up, or Space to jump. Grab blocks underneath you by using J or Z. Throw blocks using K or X.
You can grab adjacent blocks by holding left or right and pressing grab. If you press "grab" again while holding a block, you can set the block down directly underneath you.
Clear blocks and avoid dying to advance. Blocks are cleared by lining up 3 of a common color in a row or column.

Reminds me a lot of tetris plus for the PSX.
I feel like having to manage not being squished is a bit much considering the time pressure.
I also think it might be more fun if it was only 3 colours but much faster. I could be wrong about that, just a sense that I got.
Great work, and very well put together!
Also, seeing you play Room on your stream was super helpful. A good learning experience. You did pretty great on your first run. I should have had some people test it to see if there was enough instruction.
