    Beta testing this, will post impressions later

    I told the developer about the thread and forum so there's a chance he might come by and ask for prospective testers. So if you're interested in the game, keep an eye out

    Played the first 12 of 36 levels. This is a very polished platformer with great level design.

    The first thing that stands out is that art style. It has a 2.5D look that gives the levels and objects a sense of depth and size. Smooth animations and uncluttered UI round out the presentation

    You control a multi-limbed robot with suction pad-esque legs that allows you to move freely around obstacles. This is a game about speed and precision, as you time jumps from moving platforms, leap from spinning gears and rotating spokes, and dive between spikes, saws, and other hazards. You may have to deftly avoid spikes blocks to collect keys or rotate around gears to dodge saw blades. Earning the three star time is all about your skills, speed, and some precise tricky jumps to shave off seconds
