Throwbots by Cirrial
IMPORTANT: If you're playing the updated version, and you get stuck in an unwinnable situation, pressing the R key on your keyboard will take you back to the last checkpoint you hit.
No sound, no music, no problem.
Seriously, though, this is my first ever attempt at entering Ludum Dare. And boy does it show. The player character's graphics were literally the last thing I ever did, so apologies for the stiff movement and nonsensical leg motion. Also, I didn't have enough time for a proper menu and win screen, nor any sort of audio component whatsoever. As far as the game's concerned I implemented everything I wanted except the pointless boss fight, so I consider this an overall success.
Controls are detailed in the game. It's dangerous to go alone, so go throw your robot buddy into a wall repeatedly.
UPDATE 5/5/11: I've uploaded a version of the game with the most pressing issues hopefully dealt with.

HUUGE potential. :)
My biggest difficulty with this game was that continued to get impossibly stuck within tiles. It took me longer to defeat glitches than to finish the game.
But it is WONDERFUL.
Missing sounds and music thought :(.
Definitely some potential in the mechanic. Cute story, nice art(can't believe you were dogging yourself for it in your journal).
A nice chiptune would really set the mood and tone for the game.
Good stuff!
A little light on the theme perhaps but fun.
Ace work!
The few glitches aside this is an amazing achievement over the weekend. From a solid graphical style, rife with life, animation and pretty physics to the actual gameplay that is simple yet challenging. A potent combination.
I've nothing to say. Get your ass in gear and get this fleshed out and finished up :D
Another awesome game.. I love the graphics, the gameplay.. the story.. my only issue a minor one, is that sometimes the texts went by really fast. great lvl design. I liked that instead of having a health bar, the screen turned red.
Well done!
The only problem I see is the somewhat funky collision. Other than that it's really good!
