Cool graphics. It took me a while to get used to the combination of jump distance and moving platforms but it felt balanced after a few attempts.

Wow, I love how everything looks, great work on the graphics! Climbing on the robot as it walks around is a very cool concept. The intro/tutorial screen was great too. One small feature I would have liked is the ability to control the player with the arrow keys.

By the way, I think I found a bug where I couldn't repair the room on the back of the robot.

It took me a few tries to get used to the gameplay too. Being able to move in the title screen with the Start button in the lower-right corner also made me very confused initially as I thought I was already in the game. But overall a very solid entry! Good graphics, and I loved the visceral feel of the robot stomping along!

It reminds me Howl's Moving Castle.

Wonder if my first comment disappeared... but here goes again (like another entry I commented)... Well back on trackt really nice entry - enjoyed it very much - liked the "scaling" from overview into a more close encounter visually; The game is maybe a little light on the complexity - so on the upside it's very accessible - an entry like @Quill18 you need to spend a little more time on (just an example)

Congratulations on the entry :thumbsup_tone1:

Very interesting concept but game looks unfinished. We don't have win points or something like that. Maybe some enemies, which attack the robot? Game looks great, feeling of the giant robot is amazing. However, players don't get any awards of playing.

Great concept and take on the theme. Gorgeous visuals. I had a little trouble controlling the character because he seemed to keep moving for a bit after letting go of the keys. There was also a bit of downtime just standing there waiting for the platforms to move within jumping distance. I still enjoyed it though. Good job!

Well Done. Great Game. Amazing Visuals. But I had some problems detecting the damage or finding the Spot to heal the robot (I couldn´t fix the smoke from the leg). I missed some Feedback as to how far did we walk or something as well. I liked the controlls combined with the moving robot. I had a lot of fun. Thank You.

I absolutely love the art, and the attention to detail is amazing with smoke particles at the robots feet. The movement is a bit difficult to control at times, and there is no audio, but the rest of the game more than makes up for that. A great gameplay loop, and an awesome game in general.

What an amazing entry! Fits the theme perfectly, it's original, and it has me wanting to know more about the world and the characters. I found it a bit too easy, maybe I haven't played enough, but I found myself waiting for something to break so I could move around.
Overall great game!

Incredible art, if the game was more fleshed out I'd happily buy it off steam for money

Oh man. Amazing setting, I love this idea! The controls are a bit difficult though.

@singleshoe at first i wanted to add npc and more background content for storyworld ... but you now. i don't have time for that :| but maybe latter i'll complete it ;)

Gives me strong Howls moving Castle vibes. Love everything about it. Good job! :)

Original idea, good graphics and good control of the game. Something I missing anything to do while houses deteriorate. But good job

The viewed-out shot at the end and start of the game is just awesome to watch. Great animation

love this. it's nice that you let players mess around before it starts to kind of get a feel for what's going to happen zoomed out and where they can go. i think this is really clever and well executed. the visuals are nice too.

Awesome graphic! it might be a issue with my computer but my character went out of screen a couple of time, overall great game!!!

Love the aesthetic of this! It really captures the imagination. I particularly like falling down to the bottom and running alongside the giant. For some reason that just feels really cool. Little moments like that stick with you, even if they're just from a game jam game!

Wonderful job setting the mood and creating such an imaginative slice of a world!

The Art is amazing. I also like the sketches and pre-design of the robot too!

amongst my favorites so far, specially like the theme and art choices and i was getting subtle miyazaki vibes <3
the only thing I would add is an indicator of how many distance has the robot walked or how many minutes was it alive, so players can keep track of their best score. congrats, this was great!
🎤 Becher
21. Apr 2020 · 14:20 UTC
hum good idea @vulgaris. I didn't want to create a "scoring system" but juste know the distance reach by the robot is pretty cool

The art is nice, but there is no end goal. Maybe there can be a highscore system? Some sound would also be great.

The art is cool but with no context. That is bad. With some story this would have been a journey. Without it's just the worst choice in real estate.
🎤 Becher
22. Apr 2020 · 17:31 UTC
@mircea123 the end of your feedback make me laugh X).
I had planned to add more context with npc and more complexe background but i did'nt have enougth time during the jam. but i will try to do that tomorrow :)

Loved the idea of this! Took a little bit to get used to the flow of the robot but was really fun platforming around the moving robot. Great entry and just an overall very solid game!

Well, you have now..

Till next LD seems to be at least enough for some prototypes.

I would love to see more.

I really love the theming and world on this one! It's got really great potential if you want to develop it further, and it's a solid little experience even if you don't :)

I'm love with this! I had an idea similar to copy Shadow of the Colossus but I never went through with it. I SO happy you did!

This game is a piece of art. It really reminds me of Hows moving castle :)
