Fun game, I got stuck near the end (? idk if its the end)

Developer

Thought we'd end it on something a little tricky, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

I really liked it. You deserve more eyes

Developer

Really appreciate it, thanks a lot!

Great concept, fun puzzle game! I feel like allowing the level to continue and giving the player a reset to checkpoint button could be a good idea, since it could test some reflexes and/or managing to barely solve a problem! Goodjob nonetheless, one of my favorite entries!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! This is something we considered, but keeping the obstacles and traps synced to be the same on each attempt was more of a priority given amount of time we had. If we ever go back to the idea I'd love to do something like this.

It's awesome, but waiting for it to run towards the end of the level is a bit boring. It would be better to add an acceleration button.

Developer

Thank you! An acceleration button definitely would have been a great addition, can't believe we didn't think of that!

Amazing game! Super fun to solve how to guide the player with the limited number of commands you have. And the overall mechanic is really intuitive and satisfying. Was really fun to figure out the last segment. (Also the music is great!)

Developer(+1)

Making use of the limited colours and commands was something we focussed on a lot, especially with the challenge at the end. I'm really glad you appreciated it, thank you!

So simple and yet so complex. Absolutely love this, y'all should definitely keep going with it and put it on steam. Would definitely pay money for more levels :D

Developer(+1)

That's incredibly kind of you. I'd love to come back to this concept at some point to flesh out a few more ideas we had, so you never know!

Submitted(+2)

Oh hell yeah, this is a super cool idea! Graphics and Audio were awesome, and love the idea of putting logic together

Developer

Thanks a lot! We're really happy with how it all ended up coming together.

I love this game, music and graphics are very charming! 

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it, thank you for playing!

Loved it! I could not leave before finishing it completely, which took me 11min.

Developer

That's great to hear! Thank you for playing

Submitted(+2)

Really nice! Amazing change in difficulty. Overall enjoyed it a bunch. Music fits well

Developer

I was worried that it might be a little too difficult near the end, developer tunnel vision maybe, but I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for playing

Submitted

Well I will say I found it difficult (took 30 minutes to complete) but it was well worth it!

(+2)

Wow. This one got me hooked. :)

Developer

Must be a sign of a good game then ;)

Thank you for playing our game!

Submitted(+2)

Overall great and unique game!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Love it, nice puzzle game. The last one took me a bit longer, but still got it in the end.

Developer

Glad to hear you had a challenge, exactly what we'd hoped for!

Submitted(+2)

I love it! it took me a while to figure out that you could move the camera though.... 

Developer

I think that part of the tutorial was pretty easy to quickly gloss over. We did add in a couple of ways to control the camera to alleviate this but I suppose these things happen. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Awesome game!
My only wish is that you could speed the robot up.
Still, very fun concept!

Developer(+1)

You're not the only one it seems! Wish we'd thought of that sooner. Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Love the game!!! Very good game design and its very calm to play. I realy like the aspect of figuring out your next moves, and turning a platformer into a puzzle game. Great Job!!

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it so much! Thank you for playing!

Awesome, loved playing it.

Developer (1 edit)

Great to hear! Thank you so much for playing

Submitted(+2)

Loved the look and feel of the game! Very laid back and chill to play. Would love to see something like a fast forward button as that last challenge was a little long. Idea has huge potential for expansion.

Developer

Thank you very much! Seeing this comment, we're annoyed with ourselves that we didn't already think about adding in a speed option!
