I stopped playing after Level 3.

Firstly the narrative could be much better. Why would you come and flat out say that the players conflict is he doesn't know if he is a robot or not? This makes the ending either predictable (he is a robot) or dumb (he gets to the end and is not a robot). And no duh the machines are going to try and stop him. He is trying to shut them down for no apparent reason. They aren't mistreating the humans so besides his selfish need for self discovery there is no reason to. He is just a huge douche.

The way the player moves feels weird as well. He slides around like he is on ice and he is too large to land on some of the platforms precisely. It wasn't my fault that he died but the floaty jumping most of the time.

Finally I have no idea what the rules are for the platforms. At first I thought it was whatever color was on top was the type but this turned out not to be the case. This made the entire 2 minutes of my play time trial and error.

What was done well was the art...sort of. The game is pretty to look at. The problem is the levels are bland.

Very difficult if you're into that, far too much trial and error
Also don't know why you can't just make the up button the jump button, unless the up button is being used to climb or aim there just isn't any reason to asign jump to anything else.

Monotonous music, and no real rhyme or reason to the puzzles, all the blocks look identical, and even the ones that don't are usually red herrings. Simply put, this is less a game of platforming skill, and more a matter of "Keep playing until you've painstakingly mapped what every single block is".

the blocks give no indication of WTF they are.
I thought looking at the 2 different colors would help...
NOOP .. this is a frustration meter... how much can you take before a RAGE QUIT.
Mine is very low so this game can go F*ck off.

on the plus side... this is a html5 game that actually works.. so credit for that.

To add to what Bornero already said, you actually loose point when you die, it's virtually impossible to pass the level without dying at least once
