How does your game fit the theme?
You must move four malfunctioning robots to their goals. Malfunctioning robots do not interpret controls correctly, and each robot is malfunctioning in a unique way. You must decode the visual schema of their control modules and attempt to compensate for their aberrant behavior.

Really cool concept. I began to notice that (and this may just be me imagining things,) but the movements are based upon the designs on the robot. if this is the case, then it would be really cool if there would be some establishment of this rule so you don't have to guess and check in the later levels, as its isn't very fun in that regard. otherwise, this was a really cool and clever puzzle game.

I'm glad you figured out the symbol movement trick!
I like the suggestion, maybe in a future update! Thanks for playing our game
Question: did you notice that all the levels are randomly generated? or did they feel hand crafted?
Really interesting game. At first I totally thought there was no way to figure out how each piece would move until you did it. So I was succeeding randomly. Then I realized the black triangles showed their directions and it got more interesting. Nice little puzzle game!
I also played it without really figuring out the symbols! Still enjoyed it in my own little way.
Was really confused by this, until I read the comments and figured out how to decode the markings. After that, it became a lot of fun! Some smart puzzles in there that require forward thinking. Good stuff
Really interesting concept! I actually only realized at the end that the shapes are relative to the directions lol. I just went with memory. Very cool game overall!
Very interesting game with sort of a simon says vibe. (I think thats what its called? Like when you see a pattern but have to try to remember and repeat it). I really like this unique take on the theme and it kept me intrigued for awhile!
This one's a real mind-bender! It took me a couple of tries before I realised how to read the markings on each robot - it's not clear that the black portion of each segment is the way the robot will go when you press that key. I really like the music, though.
Figuring out the control schema is definitely the "meta-puzzle." Speaking of which, I have not yet figured out the control meta-puzzle for your game! My lives are short and brutish.

thanks for playing! and i find it amusing that our games share 'SNAGU' in common!
Insanely addicting game. Made it to level 34 before I forced myself to quit. I found myself coming up with a ton of different methods to solve the levels like mentally remembering that a key shouldn't be used anymore and even hand-writing some algebraic systems of equations to figure things out. Too far? Probably.

That is so cool! Nice job making it that far. I think I'd feel like continuing past that level as well if it didn't start so zoomed-out. (It would probably be a good idea on future versions to limit the distance of the initial starting points.) I'd enjoy seeing what sort of algebra you used, if you want to post! And, looking forward to trying your game.
A very challenging puzzle game! Great concept! I think it might have been helpful to introduce the colors one at a time? But I'm no good at puzzle games so four was a lot for me to take in xD But very cool game! And the visuals and music were very nice also :)
Thanks! Your game, likewise, was very difficult for me, and also gave me some PTSD flashbacks! ;)
A very frustrating puzzle game, loved it! all the audio was great, along with the art. With a bit of post-processing and UI design, you could make this an android game!
Thanks a lot, glad it frustrated you!
I'll check out your game as well.
