Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad to hear you had fun! I thought I fixed that bug, but I guess I never checked if it regressed.

very smooth game! the controls of the movement of the robot and the dragging of the boxes felt very well made, and it's amazing how much you got done as a solo developer. the art of the robot looks amazing  and i would love to see what kind of story you could cook up with this. great job!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I spent a lot of time on polishing the main mechanics, which unfortunately meant I couldn't cook up more puzzles, but I'm very happy with the feel of it! Definitely want to cook more with this in the future!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into making the movement a little less rigid post-jam.

Very nicely done! I liked how you included the water currents to create simple puzzles.

The idea of shoot to scale seems has its potential!

Very simple game with solid execution! The controls were a little weird for me (perhaps because I'm left-handed and default to arrow keys), but once I got the hang of them, things worked smoothly. The puzzles are pretty short and easy, but there's a good hook here! Would love to see more done with it.
