Really neat concept, but I feel like all could be beatable with the same stratagies, so limiting the number of walls or adding new  gimmicks would be a cool way of adding variety. But overral, It´s a very fun game. Good job!

fun game, love the name as well! The lives feel a bit much with the minimal moves required, or 3 hearts per level.

Really Funny Story, the first game I saw with a full campaign!

I'm not sure if I was missing something obvious or not but I couldn't advance the game after I beat the first level. There's no button and I pressed a lot of keys hoping to go to the next level, but nothing worked. I hope I am just being dumb, I'd love to play this game!

to advance to the next level, the robot has to run out of power before he can reach the end of the maze you build for him. If he reaches the end he'll reset to give you another chance to build a maze which is too long for him to finish.

Was that what was happening?

I completed the level, went to the level win screen with the score breakdown, but then couldn't do anything there. It was like the next level button was missing.

ah. Try resizing, the next button is hidden behind the speech bubble... 

Thanks for reporting this bug!
