Wow, the graphics, music, and mood were absolutely phenomenal in this! Reminds me of a cross between limbo and wall-e. Gameplay left a bit to be desired as far as mechanics but it was so enjoyable to just watch.

It was very short and simple but i loved the art style and there was even some emotion envolved in the story, cool little game.

Beautifull world, a relaxing game and moment. A bit more interaction or goal are needed from my point of view. Good job !

Yes! Pretty art. Nothing complicated in this game, but still can feel something in it. As a game, try a better gameplay maybe a good idea.

I really loved the art and sound they make an amazing mood. However I think its a great foundation for a game, but it might be lacking the game currently I think I spent 5 minutes holding the right arrow and ended up at the end, never hit falling object - I think I might have been lucky! Sick start, add some mechanics and this is well sellable quality! You could either go puzzle or artion speeding him up as he collects body parts or struggling to solve puzzles as parts wear out. Nice!

I love the art and the world that you created for this theme. In my opinion game is lacking in gameplay, but watching this graphics I understand why.

Awesome graphics and music, it was a very nice experience. There was not much gameplay though, and the part where the things were falling on you was a bit frustrating because the movement was rather unresponsive.

A good experience! I really enjoyed the art and the game feel! Extra credits for the game in construct 2! I appreciate that!

Really lovely graphics and music, captures a feeling really well.

Not much to it yet, but I would love to play more in this world.

I got major Wall-e vibes from the story :D

Really liked the art in this one, really nice music as well. The story was really good, the gameplay was very barebones however. I can see this expanded with more gameplay and more story elements though.

Beautiful game! The amazing graphics and audio combine for a spectacular mood (5 stars for that category)! I really enjoyed it! However, I feel it definitely needs more mechanics to be more of a game. Overall, though, it was a great, well-polished experience that I found to be absolutely brilliant! Incredible job! All the best!

@shivart cute game for sure :) As you say, there isn't much to it as a game but as a short story it's pretty sweet :)

As everyone else has said, the art, music, and atmosphere are absolutely fantastic and the best that I have seen in this jam so far. From a gameplay perspective, it was a little strange how the robot would continue to move for full seconds after I released the input. Despite that, it was still a very memorable experience. As someone else who also went with a Wall-E inspired game, its really interesting to see other people's spins on it.

Whoa. Really nice graphics. REALLY nice.

I liked the simple mechanics and the UIless concept, where everything you need to know is in the game. Cool to see the concept used in a jam in such a nice way.

There are only two points that i think the game lacks. A nice set of SFX to complete the cool soundtrack and (almost impossible in a jam) a longer duration. Seriously, would like to play more levels.

Excellent game!

Really fantastic art and atmosphere, also the mood, as said above. What I don't like very much is that the gameplay feels not so...smooth? What I did was only holding the right key almost all the time and watching it, and I didn't even know how the moving works. Some scenes are nice though, like the falling scraps. But most of the time it feels really strange, making me feel I'm not really controlling it as there is not enough proper feedback. These makes it feel lacking ..SOMETHING as a game. Maybe a good WALKING SIMULATOR but not a GAME.

It may be personal but I'm not a fan of games of this type... Anyway I really like the art style. Some presentations are really impressive too.

Really love the art and the music. I was able to figure out the tired mechanic fairly quickly, it felt intuitive. I wished the game had more challenges, like maybe having one extra mechanic relating the dangers of dying with the flower. It'd be interesting to have things that can kill the flower but not you, making it more important to protect.

Amazing Artwork! My wife and I first date was to see Wall-E so of course I loved this ;)

Absolutely gorgeous. I don't even care that there were only a couple game elements, because the experience was so solid. Well done!

Gorgeous game! It would be really cool to see this game expanded. It reminds me of Wall-E a lot. You nailed the asthetic with this. I look forward to playing your future games. Nice job!

This game has echoes of Blade Runner 2049. Well done, Sir.

The energy mechanic was super neat and didn't need words to be explained, which was really awesome. Music and visuals were fantastic, love the robotic wasteland theme

At first glance, it reminded me of a Machinarium. Overall great, sad but noble ending.

Hey, thanks for posting the game for my stream!

This game is just really pretty, excellent atmosphere. The scenery makes me want to know more about the world it's set in. Great ending too. Overall a really cool entry.

I can't really judge it based on gameplay, since that's very minimal.
