I love the humour of this game and the stylized visuals... very well thought out and everything felt so cohesive from the art to the sound to the concept! It might just be me but I had an issue getting softlocked at the beginning. Regardless, very polished work!

Pretty fun idea! I love how the enemies are roombas but sometimes i get soft locked for no reason in some spots :0161 days ago(+1)
thank you, sorry about the softlocking i never encountered that during playtest so i wasnt really aware of it (to be fair i had like 3 hours to playtest lol) will try to maybe patch that after the rating period if i have time
thanks you very much, yeah difficulty was really an issue because some people made it first try and for others it was still too hard so i made it quite easy in the end so that everyone would get a fair chance of winning the game. I think permanent lights would take away from the agency of the player tho since i specifically wanted all lighting in the game to be manipulatable. But i get where you are coming from and maybe a smarter AI or some sort of flashlight for the roombas could have helped with creating more difficulty. Had the same thought regarding the treasure too last minute so i put a picture of it in the tutorial but its quite small so im sorry if you missed it

omg i just realized what you ment, of course the enemys are supposed to permanently turn the lights back on, i was thinking you ment like locking the lights to always stay on. The going back out is a bug and i somehow missed it during last playtests very sorry for that, i will upload a patch right after the jam if you want you can check it out to get the unbuggy experience, thanks for notifying me bout that i really dont know how i missed that
