Hello! Very cool trailer! Can I make one request? I am a user of the old but powerful MacPro, it runs on an outdated version of Mac OS El Capitan. Could you please release your game on the old version of Mac OS? I will be extremely grateful and will immediately buy the game! Thank you for your attention! Google translator was used

[@HonestCatfish]

0:46 is either "yeet the child" or "Trust me"

[@ShazyShaze]

"Trust me, yeet the child" I think that's in scripture somewhere

[@Victor-056]

...There better not be a final "Trust Me" moment... Or the alternative "First Goodbye"... (At the end of Titanfall 2, if you make Cooper say nothing at all by picking neither option before the timer runs out, BT will instead say "Goodbye" before yeeting Cooper to safety.)

[@kuroyoma593]

Or "yeet the baby" 😂

God I love a good humanoid robot design, love how the baby is comparatively less humanlike and feels more like a toy like most tiny robots do. The concept is also really fun

[@ShazyShaze]

Thanks meeb!! Yes, I definitely wanted HelperBody to be more tiny and cartoony than the other bots

Not the first time I've seen a "robot" girl with wheels for her legs, but I still like this one either way.

Ah but you see Mortem, this "robot" girl has the wheel and the legs

[@VicerimusMortem]

@@ShazyShaze Now that you've said it.... yeah, she does have both legs and wheels. I would guess the legs (and in turn, her feet) are used for the railings, and the wheels are for the ramps?

I have rewatched this trailer enough times that I have officially lost count, the gameplay looks super fun and fluid, and the music and sound effects are pure dopamine fuel. This trailer alone has become my new stim video for the next week, (maybe longer) I'm super excited for this game, and I hope the development for this game goes as smoothly as it can, so when it eventually releases in full, it has the best chances to succeed! :D

[@forgewaffle]

These character designs are so insanely cute

[@entropyhater]

I like the hornet/bee boss(?)

[@BrimBlam]

The gameplays looking like it could be slick as hell and I like the designs going on here. I feel like I could wind up the playable robot like an old toy car and watch it go zooming.

[@ShazyShaze]

Thanks brim!! I worked hard on the designs. Fingers crossed that this game blows up and I can make wind up HelperBody happy meal toys for it 😂😂

[@leoncaples2947]

Saw the trailer, tried the demo and really liked how it felt, the stage design and momentum feel just right.

[@MeloniestNeon]

Played the demo and, despite some struggles with the momentum physics and controls, I loved it! Got a lot of potential here, and with a bit of refining I see it going far. Oh, and of course... _Yeet the child!_

Pizza Tower 2

[@ShazyShaze]

I haven't played Pizza Tower yet, but a lot of folks are making the comparison!!

[@armagodura8470]

​@@ShazyShazeI wish to mention, as someone who hasn't played that game either, that this game does feel much less intimidating to play than Pizza Tower! As in, I feel I can actually know what comes next and act accordingly without having previously memorized the level. Take this with a grain of salt: as I said, no pizza tower experience here so idk what it's actually like

[@BluSplat]

@@armagodura8470As someone who has played the game: this game looks more sonic-y to me

[@amydoesart3724]

Not... Really?

[@da0099]

Very bad comparison it's not even close to pizza tower or you just didn't play classic sonic game (sonic the hedgehog 1991)

[@haniif190]

Song's prolly gonna get stuck in my head, especially the first part.

[@ShazyShaze]

Right?! Distorted Schematic did a fantastic job on the music

[@mem5270]

seeing how the main character, levels and actions look, it kinda reminds me more of Segapede than 'sonic 3' (context: 'Segapede' is a cancelled game of the sonic series, theres a protoype and concept made by S.T.I)

[@yourlocalpotato7307]

That's actually cool bro

This is giving me old-school sonic vibes. I also like the character design; rounded, yet aerodynamic.
