Pivot Pilot is a challenging platformer with puzzle elements in which you take simultaneous control of a boy and a giant robot arm. A young boy named Eli is mysteriously trapped in a testing facility and your goal is to make your way trough a series of dangerous experiments by cooperating with the robot arm.

Avoid spikes, dodge saw blades, hide from the turrets, watch out the lasers, ride the robot arm, utilize the gravity beams and more to escape the gruesome facility.

Full game available on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/569360/Pivot_Pilot/

Nice game! Original idea. I like sounds and graphics.

Despite fullscreen option being in the menu it never seemed to work for me.

I think that despite what some reviews had said the robot arm controls are good and rather intuitive for something as complex. Yes it's not super easy, but that is the whole point of the game. Many good games have controls that require a learning curve. There are lazy people who cry when a game is more then a standard shooter with four directions, space for jump and mouse click for fire. Please ignore these people. A good game needs more controls for good mechanics.

I had a harder time controlling the boy actually - somehow timing the distance of his jumps is not that easy and it's too easy to miss.

I am giving 3 stars, but that is for this submission, for the demo, the real game looks 5 star worthy.

Good to hear that you enjoy the challenge! :D Thanks for the review!

I spiffy game, I love the mechanics and enjoyed figuring out how to navigate both parties through the maze of traps and dangers! I did not love how much effort it took to guide the little platformer compared to the arm though, his controls were considerably rougher on my mortality count. I also admit getting frustrated with spots where the rotation of the arm would take me safely past a death trap in ONE direction but not the other.

Thanks for the feedback!

Pretty good and fun. Had problems with control I always had to try them first to see how robot would move, it wasn't clear to me without trying in which direction it would move.

Robot hand was very slippery for me at first so making first jump on robot hand over spikes was frustrating and took a lot of tries.

I believe there are 2 arcades to be found - one is in level 4 but how do I collect it?

Checkpoints might be helpful.

Best of luck with selling it.

sleakku responds:

Thank you for the review! You can access the arcade machines by pressing "use" (down arrow key by default) when standing in front of one.

Why don`t you just post the full game on Newgrounds?

sleakku responds:

Because I'm trying to make a living from developing games. :D
