Springbot

Springbot represents Andy Farrell's debut. For his first work, made with the AGD Labs' modified version of AGD Andy chose a classic platform/collect-em-up scheme. While guiding a spring-powered robot, you have to jump around, avoiding fixed and moving dangers and collecting various objects from screen to screen.

The most notable features are the detailed and pleasant graphic style and the composition of the screens, which often requires a good degree of precision and timing in both movement and jumps in order not to lose one of the robot's three "lives".

Apart from this, there is not much else to say, but as a start, Springbot is surely promising. Let's wait to see more from its author
