You're a really simple robot, who starts his life with... nothing. You have to explore the level to find all the needed controls. When you find them and collect all the batteries, you will manage to open The Mysterious Gate... What will you find there?
Controls (you will have a tutorial in the game) - T to TELEPORT - remember this one when you finally install it :) - arrows to walk (when you install them) - space to jump (when you install it) - all arrows to fly (when you find jetpack) - all arrows (or space) to swim (when you install it) - left/right arrow and up arrow to wall walk (when you install it)

My first and prominent problem has to be the fact that you are required to teleport back to the beginning when you upgrade. Players should choose to teleport back and the animation, while cool, probably needs to be faster as it gets old quick.
The second issue I have is that the game only has one sound effect, and I don't even know what the sound even is. Sure, it happens when the players falls but it doesn't exactly convey that. It'd be great to hear more awesome noises when you jumped, used the jetpack, maybe lasers when they are close enough, and upgrades.
Besides those, I feel like finding the batteries were a little more difficult to find than the final upgrade, and there is a bug where if you fall from a high enough point you will clip through the walls and somehow the outside of the walls become solid (though originally it was thought that it was some kind of cool easter egg ;) ).
Overall, well done on the game, the graphics are fantastic and with a little bit of work this game could see it's way into full fledged Robo-Adventure.
We have some problems with sounds, though. They are too low, it's almost impossible to hear them - for sure we'll fix it.
The feeling of flying in this game is a little strange.Is there only one end to the game?
There is only one ending - we were planning to add the second one but the TIME was against that xD
If I were to dislike something, it would be the camera movement. I felt like my field of vision was very small. It would help if you moved the camera so I see more in the direction I am going.
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
