I found a bunch of coins hoping something would happen, but didn't seem like it would. More gameplay would have been great, but still very good!"},{"author_name":"racarate","author_uid":"10426","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 5:51am","epoch":1335332760,"text":"Yeaaaaah! I found this game via the LD23 thread on the LOVE forums and wanted to play it based on the passage-esque visuals. I love it! I love the playable title screen, the dual game modes (only LD racing game I have played so far), the sound design and ambient music and the game feel. Micro-jetpack jumps. White vine animation. Oh man, and the dynamic lighting. HYPER LEGIT. Haven't figured out the point of "collect" yet, about to go back. HYYYYPER LEGIT!"},{"author_name":"Gaeel","author_uid":"1561","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 8:52am","epoch":1335343620,"text":"Hey guys, thanks for the comments!\rI'm glad you enjoyed the game, I'm a little dissapointed I couldn't get more gameplay in, but it feels great to know people enjoyed it!"},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1335360420,"text":"Very solid graphics. The movement around could be a bit quicker, but I love the jetpack.\r\rThe effects are also very nicely done. Shame actually that it is such a tiny game;)"},{"author_name":"Muhiz","author_uid":"11801","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1335392280,"text":"Stunning visuals, nice soundtrack and I liked the mood aroung the game.

It DOES feel a little sluggish though, I agree."},{"author_name":"SFX","author_uid":"10908","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 10:43pm","epoch":1335479880,"text":"I wish there was more to do."},{"author_name":"tequibo","author_uid":"5180","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 2:49pm","epoch":1335537840,"text":"Game looks lovely."},{"author_name":"cadin","author_uid":"7233","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 5:07pm","epoch":1335546120,"text":"Beautiful graphics, nice sound design, and smooth controls.

I think you matched the theme well though, it does feel like quite a tiny world. Props for using a robot and a garden.
