I was so fond of the characters and the art style, the controls were smooth and overall the game just felt very polished!

What i would like to see is more hints about a story and the why of it all, something like this would really hook the player.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
You need a controller to play though and if you only have one you need to go to the settings and check a box to assign the mouse character to the keyboard and the robot to the controller (the reverse is not possible) otherwise both the keyboard and the controller will be assigned to the Mouse character.
