made by Gidalis for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Play Life will find a way, a game where a lone robot takes on an impossible challenge: saving an entire planet.

Explore the ruins of a dying world. Use the WASD keys to move, the mouse to look around, and the E key to interact. After buy a competenc you can switch by usique 1/2/3/4 keys.

Collect trash, copper, iron, glass, and chemical puddles to craft a radiation suit, the only thing that will allow you to push the radioactive barrels to your ship and give the planet a second chance.

Can a single robot really make a difference?

It's really difficult to collected anything, and I got the magnet upgrade but it did not seem to help. The idea is simple and fun. And both the music and visuals is pretty good.

I didn't understand how to collect objects except the wire.
I see the idea which is fun but the lack of feedback if you can collect or not doesn't help.
The game is still pretty though.

It's quite hard to play the game - the collection mechanism doesn't seem to work on all objects, and the goal of the game, or how to use the objects (if you can use them), isn't very clear. Some affordance in the game will go a long way, taking the player through a short introduction tutorial or guiding them on how to play the game.

Yeah, faced the same bug, only copper wire are barely pickable. I couldn't progress past making a magnet. I really liked the atmosphere and vibes: very chill, very relaxing. Please ping me if the bug is fixed

The idea is simple and fun, but the implementation could be improved. Picking up items doesn’t always work consistently (feels like it doesn't work at all), and some optimization would really help — at least try turning off Lumen.

can pick up only one type of object - cables, additional items (for example magnet) aren't working at all
might be interesting by concept, but implementation not so good

Visuals are nice, but yea I found it hard to collect anything. I think it needs a bit of work.
