Best game I've played so far (I assumed googling peter dinklage was the end game, as it is in most games) great visuals, sound effects were nice. great job!

Fun game! The ending sequence was funny but it wasn't very clear that that was the end. The robot moving sound was perfect. Nicely done!

This game is amazing.. Simple and funny. The end was great. Something like a short boost which drains the energy even more would've been nice to improve the tactical element on this. But overall a great game with nice graphics. Well done!

Maybe you want to check out my game too. Designed the character and it looked like a trash bin so i called it b1nman :D

Great game, nice sounds and graphics! Definitely hit the theme! Reminded me Portal a bit. Great work!

Nice use of stealth elements, had me reminiscing about Metal Gear Solid. I think there are some issues; I ran out of power and then respawned right in view of the cameras. Besides that though, I enjoyed it, entertaining stuff!

Decently fun stealth game. Had some weird issues with the camera bobbing wildly in the second level and found a door without a collider in the first level, but still a fun experience nonetheless.

Neat idea and very well put together, but I experienced a few bugs while playing it. The mouse was a little glitchy, and a couple of times after dying, it reset into a state where the cameras were no longer disabled but the button to disable them wouldn't work.

The visuals are impressive for a 72 hour game jam. A few other comments pointed out some control glitches on the second level, which I also experienced. Focus on weeding out glitches like that and your next game could be pretty solid.

Loved the ending, that was hilarious. Pacing/movement were a bit slow, but levels were interesting and cameras/buttons were well-placed.
For some reason, the player camera would freak out/move at certain points, starting right after I went through the first elevator. But it usually stopped if I just moved a bit. I enjoyed the experience overall, nicely done!

Good level design!

I have mixed feeling about this. Graphics are well done, you got some levels made which look good. Sound effects are also pretty cool. But the movement speed speed was **so** unsatisfactory slow for me. I know that's the robot bin, but still. Levels were designed pretty well too, but considering our speed dodging lights wasn't that fun.

And well, don't get discouraged by my mean comment, maybe I don't see all good things. Try to experiment with robot stats, maybe it will be the change for good.

Great Game with good level design. I found sometimes that the camera would start to freak out without my touching the mouse

Your game is quite simple to go through but it's funny :) The basic idea is so perfect ahah xD And also the end is very funny :)

Overall it's a great game! :)

I'm a big fan of games that implement stealth mechanics and I felt the tension when trying to avoid the security cameras. Perhaps it's just me because I don't play many games with a mouse controlled camera but I felt it was way to sensitive. Other than that, I liked the simplicity of the mechanics and gameplay and the graphics are nice to look at.

I really liked the sound effect of the moving robot and the mood. The mouse sensitivity was super high, maybe put mouse sensitivity settings somewhere in the main menu. Good job anyway!

It seems like a really nice game but very hard to play on a trackpad. The movement felt too slow for me compared to how quickly you're able to rotate. Great concept!

Really nice models and sounds! The game is also pretty amusing and learning how to navigate the camera patterns is fun. The mouse seemed a bit sensitive and there were a couple of occasional strange flickers in the floor tiles. Other than that I had a lot of fun making my way to the I N T E R N E T.
