The presentation and the idea is good. But I guess there are some bugs or glitches which ruins the actual gameplay. 

Developer

Thank you ! Yes there are a few bugs lingering in the way the Operator find its path back. There is also a bug that makes the game eat the first tick. Both these were indentified and are easily fixed. Sadly, we ran out of time and had trouble submitting something that even worked :(

Yep, same here. We've added a last minute feature which turned out to be buggy. We have fixed the issues but couldn't submit the fix in time.

This is what happens in Jams ! Ahaha! We will probably keep on working on the game and upload it after the jam. I like your game by the way, and the art is amazing !

I liked the style and the music. In gameplay, it feels like something is missing.

Developer

Thanks. We had a few breaking bugs during the last day. We wanted to create a handful of additional levels but the stability of our game was paramount for release.

We'd like to update it to make it clearer and inviting to play.

This is a fun game but super hard. I could only beat the first level.

Developer

Thanks ! The trick is that the operator will try to bring back the rover on the pink path, you have to use that in your advantage to take alternate routes.

Id really like to be able to pause the game and get a clear view of the path. the feel of wrestling the operator for control is really cool.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback.

We extinguished some fires here and there during the last two hours of development and we had to cut some features. We have "pause" code and UI mock-ups ready to be implemented but the game had to be playable before being pausable. :D

Nice aesthetic, good idea, I like the feeling of fighting against the operator. Definitely requires a good amount of thought. One thought is that maybe the path it shows should move with the robot because it takes a while to understand what is going to happen after you put in an input. Great art and the sound design is good too. Great job!

Developer

Thanks !

We had so many ideas to make this totally clear to the user, with a (great!) tutorial and some cutscenes to teach the basics. But it was a bit much for 48 hours.

Glad you liked it ! Your game is fun too, wouldn't want to babysit those four though.
