How does the game fit the theme?
This cute lil robot is stuck in a auto-walk loop.
But he has no worries for what is ahead, as he has full faith in you, the Player.

You must make sure nothing goes wrong by editing the level ahead of him to make sure he can safely walk to the goal.

Fun game! Definitely the game with the longest playtime I've played for this jam so far, it had the most content. Some of the later levels felt pretty easily cheesable, but that's not a huge problem. Had a lot of fun with this one. :)

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

Great game, concept, and game design - especially loved 8 lvl: "What can I do here?" haha.

I wish there was a button to fast-forward a robot a little bit - on later stages, you start to wait too much time.

But it is so minor thing that it didn't even reflect on my score - amazing game.

Definitely something we'll consider for a future version. Thanks for playing!

Very nice game! Like the simplicity of it, only thing is that dragging the door sometimes causes it to be under the floor, doesnt affect gameplay but yknow would be nice if it was above the floor :)

Developer

Uhm... Please don't drag the door 😅

It reminded me of The Incredible Machine Series. This got a little boring when there wasn't more varied objects introduced, but I had fun anyway. Love the death sound. It cracks me up.

Developer

Glad you liked it! We'll definitely be adding more items after the jam :)

Creative game! I see how it fits the theme.

The humor that encapsulates the entire game is good.

Puzzles aren’t easy peasy, which I always love in a video game. No matter the genre.

I like it. it's a nice take on the theme.

Really nice cute little game! I think it fits the theme really well! I struggled with level 4 haha! Overall really good game!

This is a really witty game. I loved the start up screen. The puzzle aspect of making the levels safe for the robot was a lot of fun. Great job

A game with an old computer startup sound made by someone whose username has "Frog" in it, are we the same team?? :D

Cute game anyway! The only thing is that the game starts up in a corner of the web player, so the parallax effect got... Interesting xD

Congrats on the submission!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, fellow frog enjoyer!

This is my first completed game and I had a ton of trouble getting the UI to work properly in the web version 🥲
