Really liked the level art, cool way to be minimalist and still be 3D. Physics were a little wonky, but that might just be because I wasn't used to them yet. More levels and maybe some simple mechanic that would allow for more complicated puzzles could probably make take this game to the next level.

Very good 3d art !

The controls were a bit sluggish, and the physics needs some work. It also bugged out at the end, where I simply started on the top of the level and could simply jump down to the missing pixel and win the game.

I'm not sure if the player was supposed to be able to jump mid-air, but nevertheless, nice execution. :) Could've used more levels, though.

I love the robot. Reminds me of PSX-era 3D (but done well). Kind of like 3D pixel art, I guess?

I agree with project_scientist - keep tweaking the physics. And keep making great 3D art.

Very neat and smooth 3D effect and adimations! The controls aren't quite tight enough for my taste though.

The art was great and the motion was smooth. The acceleration from running feels rather off where it's too slow at first and ramps too quickly. I also got caught on the edges of boxes a lot. The gameplay idea is simple but good!

I noticed it says "Ludum Dare Warming Up" in the Title Bar XD. Nice Idea and Art, just a little short.

The game involves your robot jumping up to find the missing pixel from the 3d image, and I liked the splash screen with music, the 3d graphics and the robot animation. Unfortunately the gameplay is unfinished - there's only really one level, and you're able to simply jump infinitely in mid-air and complete the game in 10 seconds. Craftstudio seems like a good way to enter ludum dare though. I get the feeling that the developers just ran out of time before they could build a set of levels. The splash screen says "Press start to begin", but the end level screen says press enter.

Yeah, we had technical problems so we got a late start and just couldn't get more levels finished, I plan to fix a bunch of the issues and add more levels once I buy a license for Craftstudio, but until then I can't edit any of the art or game mechanics. Thanks everyone for the feedback though!
