I had some issues about the collision mask since I kept aiming at the fellows rather than the indicator on top of them. It seemed more intuitive to me. When it got to not killing them I got stuck, didn't figure out how to do that. It was so much easier to just keep them running off onto the spikes. I really enjoyed it that far though, the mechanics and the art in particular. There are some tweaks that could be made so that the jumping is a bit more forgiving and that clicking on the Fire-button when the level title is showing (really cool display btw) doesn't fire an order but removes the title. Because after a few retries on a level, you really don't want an extra because you just instructed someone to the wrong death."},{"author_name":"DarkMeatGames","author_uid":"34345","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:55pm","epoch":1429545000,"text":"Really nice core mechanic, and good depth of level variety. Was a bit too challenging trying to time my shots just right. Would have been nice on some levels if the robots couldn't die, they just bounced back in the other direction, giving you multiple chances to succeed. Great graphics and polish as well. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"oskardevelopment","author_uid":"21518","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:31pm","epoch":1429547160,"text":"Cool graphics, love the music and quite a cool use of music icons and movements! Allowing jumping on enemies and adding the goal to reach the goal at once (Build a brige level) surprised me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good luck! :)"},{"author_name":"Gunzil","author_uid":"40917","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:32pm","epoch":1429547220,"text":"Novel enough concept for a puzzle platformer to keep my attention. It was more difficult aiming shots than it ought to be since I initially thought you were supposed to shoot the characters, not their state bubbles, which are also smaller and more difficult to hit than the character.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Given the iconography of Pause\/Rewind\/Record\/Fast-Forward I was expecting the main mechanic to be recording movements and then have the characters mimic you, rather than have it be stop\/left\/jump\/right.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fairly impressive on a technical level in terms of having it be complete with a lot of levels."},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:40pm","epoch":1429547700,"text":"Excellent puzzle design with a unique mechanic.  The sketch-y art style worked nicely as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I enjoyed playing quite a bit.

The mechanics work together well and the puzzles require some actual thought. I also thought the art+music gave a very consistent feel to the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Executing those solutions was sometimes a bit much work though. The one puzzle where you have to drop a stack onto another dude below was kind of a crap-shoot for me, just keep restarting until you get it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also thought the death state for the blocks with the saw blades was kind of non-intuitive. Then again, having dead guys float in space was non-intuitive, but I used it to solve the last puzzle so I can't really complain.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wish you'd done more with the companion block. Of his three puzzles, the first was the intro, the second he didn't actually do anything besides follow you, and the third was just a repeat of the level before. I think maybe the companion block just doesn't add much to the game concept."},{"author_name":"Gen.Harris","author_uid":"32776","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 5:37pm","epoch":1429551120,"text":"Excellent game.

However, I didn't have a lot of fun playing it. My problem I think it was the puzzles seemed too obvious and the challenge came from mere skill, which was quite tough since the collision box for the npcs was too small for me and the characters moved too quick.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway good job!

At first it was pretty straightforward, but I like how you ramped up the ways you had to use the commands in the difficulty of the puzzles. I especially liked the little learning moment that taught me what the &quot;record&quot; command meant. It was much darker than I anticipated! One note and I talked about this on stream, but mind your grace period jumping to make it a little easier to jump off the edges of things. The visuals were great, i loved the rough edges around everything, they were slightly disconnected from the dark mood that ended up happening but maybe that's okay. I appreciate how you can approach solving puzzles in many different ways.
