Green Hope
Somewhere... sometime... a world is ending...
As civilization grew, enourmous cities began piling up upon themselves, creating hundreds of layers of living quarters as well as mountains of waste.
But a single garbage-compactor robot found something special deep inside the undercity - a Green Hope.

Neat puzzles, but absolutely loved the pixel art!!
Thanks! Be sure to check out our artists profiles, if you wish to see more!
I'd like some ambience; I enjoyed the atmosphere and lonely feeling, but I felt it could be a lot stronger if it had some ambient music.
I think the puzzles are pretty good for a game of this caliblre, although you do end up having to wait around a lot for the slow character which was tedious for me.
I like the art; Overall, the asthetic left me wanting more.
Thank you sincerely for the review.
At the time idea of adding music did not seem that good, since the music could be very much a "hit or miss" addition so we did not risk it. Jams time limit hit this aspect the hardest, since given time something fitting could have been found.
And as for the character speed - it was a balancing act between ball increase size, level size, field of view size... lots of sizes. Sacrifices had to be made and it is admitedly still an issue.
Hope this might explain the weirdness in these aspects and again, thanks for the feedback.
For reference I think your game is great (it was one of my favourites out of the jam), I wouldn't give criticism otherwise.
Late reply, but better late than never.
