The fact that I can't change direction/momentum/whatever mid air leads to the game seeming a bit unfair. If the levels were better built around this, then it wouldn't matter, but because they're generated and due to platforms sometimes being too small it's not the best.
Since the character is moving on a wheel, it is only possible to move on ground. When you are in the air, you are not on ground, so the wheel cannot change your direction/momentum/whatever in midair. Therefore, changing speed or direction in midair is impossible.
This game is the embodiment of soul searching. I saw a comment on the video of the making of this saying that the RoboBoi is bill but he lost his memory and all he remembers is bill. This is a sad game if you think about it. I love it. you are a great game designer. Keep up the good work buddy.
If you feel like it, you should make a sequel. This could include clues to find Bill. As many have suggested, it is a very sad and lonely (though creative) premise for a game. Even if Bill is never found, having more to do would make the game interesting for longer - it gets a little bit uninteresting not having a purpose. Nice work though!
When you really think about it this game is pretty sad. If you played the game without watching the video you would think you would eventually find Bill but if you watched the video like i did you said you will never find Bill its a small touch that really makes this game sad. What happened to Bill? Is he dead or did he go so far away that no matter how much the player character looks he just never finds him. And the fact that he keeps looking and is determined to find him really just makes it sadder little does this poor robot know hes never going to find Bill which makes it very sad.
If people really had my opinion on the game-play i wouldn't say it so i am just gonna say it here. This is the stupidest RGL (Randomly Generated Level) game and i love it for that. It mainly comes combined with the ability to move in the air or your lack their of. This combined with the RGL's makes for an entertaining experience these 2 things work together to truly make this game amazing.
Sweet! Great concept and the art is really nice as well! Having the physics on the character and the parallax background really made the game feel polished. I got to the level with white eyes, and it was fun all the way through!
If I had to critique anything, I would prefer a sound FX for jumping rather than landing just from a feedback pov. And it's a small thing, but the respawn/fall time was a little long.
Overall, really great entry, and I hope you do well!

I understand this, I was not questioning why this is the case, I was giving my opinion that it wasn't fun and explaining why. Sorry for any confusion.
Good :)
I can't find him!
the game is lie

good work
wow that's deep.
Has anybody realized your eyes change when you die or when you transment? its a small detail but so cool too! Good job Sam!
Yeah. One moment blue eyes, the next, red eyes.
Thats pretty neat :D
bill has transcended spacetime and is now invisible to us mortal beings
I guess?
if you can update this, idk, but you can't jump if you're on your body, kinda annoying
the goal in the levels is mettaton from undertale
XD ur right lol!
undertale reference
game crashes on ending
it is good
pretty good game, loved the ending
...you WHAT!?
The game has an infinite amount of levels, so getting to the end is physically impossible!
but needs an ending level
Buddy, the game is infinite. No ending. Just game.
It has no ending
awesome
fun game i love it
cool game
(:
I am on an impossible level! Don't play this game.
it can't be impossible
IT WAS I SWEAR! THERE WAS A SINGLE JUMP THIS HIGH: you are 0, | is max jump hight
--|
0|
why didn't you backtrack and try a different path?
Kill yourself and use your remains as a stepping stone. Tried it before. Worked.
The game was for a game jam, you ain't suppose to finish it. It infinity generates maps.
well no duh there is going to be an impossible level there are infinite levels and that doesn't mean you shouldn't play it
If you feel like it, you should make a sequel. This could include clues to find Bill. As many have suggested, it is a very sad and lonely (though creative) premise for a game.

It's Amazing
If you turn off num lock hold the arrow key and turn it back on the robot moves and you can only stop it if you reverse the effect
it is a bug i found
i also noticed that you can jump as long as the robot is touching a platform and i somehow managed to make his eyes red???
the color of the eyes do change when you die or go to a new level
and orange???
i think it changes color upon getting into a new lvl, idk though
ohhhh, it changes when you die, that makes more sense i guess?
And when you transmit.
White, you have a nice profile pic, too.
What do you mean?
it is hard to explain

whut?
Wow how u do these websites?
How I can contact sam?
*Please tell me!
Youtube comments
Thank you! I'll try it!
i like that you can play it on long trips
i like it
its cool
lol
I found Bill, just press menu then press exit.
I tryed and work!
Bill is a black screen right
No. BILL IS THE CHARACTER.
But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY!
ur trying to prank me
I got to a point where the game just straight up just crashed. Did i beat it? (me beating it is a joke, there's infinite levels)
but what if someone did find bill???
whoosh
Someone: tells truth to someone who don't understand it
Reddit guys: r/whooosh
tungsten oxygen oxygen oxygen oxygen sulfur hydrogen
Bill? Bill is dead.
i killed him.
u traitor!!
just like my life

GOD, thats horrifying to think about
Yeah.

Hey, thanks Garrett! Great feedback, definitely needs more sfx
nice game concept and design - especially the randomly generated levels and the cute looking/animated robot!!
But when moving after jumping without vertical speed, you cant change the vert. speed in midair :(
And, in my opinion, the levels are too empty. (I only played around 6 levels)
Yeah, I messed up with the lack of in air direction changing. Thought it would be a cool mechanic but I was definitely wrong.
No you weren't the lack of in air direction changing was a good idea and led to funny moments
I don't think levels being empty is the fault of the game designer considering it's all randomly generated.
but he did write the code that generates the levels though. Still, it's pretty good considering the short time frame.
