Robot Trial by crneumre

About:
The manufacturing lines have constructed a trial to test their robots effectiveness, you either prove you are worth or you will be sent for disassembly.
Use Charge jumps and rocket boots to travel in the world.

Controls:
Press U to open the upgrades menu when you are on the ground.
Hold the mouse to charge the jump.
Release to send the robot flying in that direction.
While in air hold the mouse to activate your rocket boots.
Notes:
Jam?: Well originally I targeted the compo but ran out of time to polish the game. I really wanted to get the game to a playable state regardless, so I decided to finish it at least for the jam.

I read your page but once in game, I didn't remember that I could press U to open an Upgrade panel, so at first I had a really hard time and I wondered what was the "scrap" for. Then I remembered and everything made so much sense, I actually began to see the fun and understand why some tiles highlighted... I'm not sure it was intended that the upgrades were kept from one try to another, but it was nice to have that!
I'm not sure the jump line and the jetpack bar should be upgrades, since it really plays on the first impression. Or maybe it should be explicit that it exists but you need to upgrade for that. Maybe that's all part of further polishing.
I had fun, nice entry!
Otherwise would love to play the game with implementations stated above
