Escape this testground! by chakaramba

[raw]
made by chakaramba for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Wait! What's going on here?

So where am I?... Just woke up at some test ground along with a bunch of gears and crashed old-school vehicles. Can't even remember where I came from... The only thing left is my serial number, but it doesn't change anything.

What's that?! Blinding light? Voice from above? He want's to use me in his experiments??

Again and again... He kills me just for fun and I'm stuck at this testground... But what's that!? Maybe, I can get out of this place if I use his experiments outcomes?

I need to find my way out of here!

"Escape this testground!" is available for quick play on the web, feel free to test it by yourself in one click!

This is my type of game! but I don't know if it's a bug or a mechanic I just didn't understand, but the jumping was quite random and unresponsive for me something that made me tilted at times

The idea is very nice, but I feel it's a bit unfair. The controls need to be a bit more precise, otherwise need more time. It has potential to be a great game. Good job!

I like the idea, a good twist on the "die and retry" formula, and the narrator is a really nice touch.
The 6th level is a bit harsh tho, I couldn't beat it.

Very fun in it's current state. The time limit with the transformation is an excellent mechanic. It might be a good idea to extend it a little because in a lot of cases the player was reaaaaally rushing against the time. You could balance it with an auto-transform button that would transform them on the spot instead of needing to wait, which might help the pace a bit. Overall, really loved this and great job!
