Whoops!\n\nI love the transforming concept, the idea that each of your forms has different abilities and you have to switch between them (or rather, temporarily abandon your upgrades) in order to proceed. I wish you had more control over where your power packs spawn when dropped, though, and stations really should have some indication as to how many packs they have stored. I'm also not a fan of W to jump, especially for a game with tricky platforming sequences like this one - there's a reason the classics like Mario and Sonic don't map jump to the D-pad!\n\nThe lack of checkpoints also puts a damper on my enjoyment. This is a long level you've got here, and it really sucks having to start the whole thing over from scratch, especially when a slip-up in the aforementioned platforming sequence means having to navigate back over a pair of enemies.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1182249,"author_name":"MakoTeam","author_uid":"makoteam","epoch":1760277566,"text":"Nice concept and the robot is cute in all it's forms","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1182901,"author_name":"Conduit","author_uid":"conduit","epoch":1760320337,"text":"Really liked the graphics and audio, I softlocked myself at the second storage station by not storing two boxes at the first lol charming entry!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1183165,"author_name":"dasMaichen","author_uid":"dasmaichen","epoch":1760360590,"text":"Very lovely game, like the transformation. :) ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1183491,"author_name":"Surfa","author_uid":"surfa","epoch":1760384718,"text":"Originally the music did not start for me but did on the first restart.

Encountered a few bugs but apart from that it was a nice and innovative puzzle. Haven't seen that kind of logic before where you upgrade and downgrade to get to places. \n\nMusic was pleasant, graphics pretty good, although the scenery could have used some polish. I liked that the different robots had some personality. The character style somehow reminded me a bit of the old Bubble Bobble.\n\nThe ending went just to main screen without any end screen. I think the game ended there when I walked out of a level.\n\n![metalobaza.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/a34\/d1\/z\/6f6dd.jpg)\n\nI had trouble getting the full screen in the ludum page html5.

I think you have a strong idea here with the stacking transformations, and I think there's a lot of exploration you could do following this idea along with more puzzles just based on this. Unfortunately, I think it ends up being pretty easy to soft-lock yourself and need to reset, which feels pretty punishing since there aren't any checkpoints. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it much further than the start of the second level (there was a gap I assume I should be able to jump through, but even in first form it seems like my hitbox is too big for it, and I couldn't find any secret holes around in my second form). Smoothing out some of the transitions would also help, since there were a couple times I would pick up\/drop a tool, but it wouldn't visually update my form until a little bit later. Looking forward to where you end up going with this.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/97\/9733439de28a42eeb11dc50aa89cbe4bea72839fcc63e756460085a6cd572e47.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/vasea12345.itch.io\/metalobaza","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"89568","g_author":"1419462","g_event":"LD58","g_eventkey":"112","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"427667","g_title":"METALOBAZA","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"570","g_commentcount":"27","g_site2_node_id":"419492","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"419492","n_urlkey":"427667","n_parent":"415614","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/metalobaza","n_slug":"metalobaza","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"419462","n_created":"1759528898","n_modified":"1778516623","n_version":"1339749","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD58","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":419462,"body":"You're a half-baked robot with dreams of greatness, stuck in a scrapyard full of crusty metal corpses and battery juice.
