1. you could jump through the upper moss on signs
2. the blend of 2d block color and 3d beauty, it looked a bit like a happywheels game but the signs
particles and robot were great!
good job (:
The gameplay is a bit clunky, but it works. I feel like the energy is running out a bit too quickly. The idea with the ads is interesting and something that could be expanded on. I'm sure you wanted to make more out of that, but didn't have any time, but I appreciate the concept very much.
Other than that I don't have much else to say. Really solid entry, good work.
The boost control feels a bit clunky to use.
I think the thruster conservation is very skill testing and fun.
I'm not sure why there's lava, but the explosion vfx is pretty.
The ads and the broken terrain really tell a story.
My only criticism is that the beginning is a bit slow.
On the interactivity side there's nothing special to note. Basic platforming with a fuel system, because everyone is doing that now. I would have liked to see something special here too.
Great job!
Only tiny complaint: on the way back, the camera doesn't scroll down so you can see the platforms, and it becomes a leap of faith. I died a ton of times.
I wouldn't have minded that much, but I had to redo all the last part, because there wasn't a checkpoint on the top!
Other than that, lovely, lovely entry, and I'm still humming the music
