Not quite sure how to control the roomba except dragging it once and it bounces like a billiard ball on a billiards  table.

Developer

Thank you for trying out our game! You need to click around the roomba, like a nudge into the direction you wanted it go. We had fun making it zoom across the screen!

It took me some time, but then I started picking up the game 😄 it turned out to be fun, like pinball games 👍
I would really appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well 🙏

Developer

Glad you have fun with our game! Pinball was part of the inspiration with how fast the roomba runs across the screen, haha, thank you for playing our game!

The controls are a bit complicated, you would simplify it with WASD. The Game has a concept to be a puzzle game. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for trying out our game! The movement is an intended feature, it's like smacking the roomba so it can bounce around on its free will. Regardless, we appreciate your comment!

Cool Game!

Developer

Thank you!

Agggrrr... it is fun, but sometimes the target is unreachable. Would love to see what you do next with that game. And yea, the robot does look like a roomba.

Developer

Round shapes are friends, and Round shapes that can move fast = roomba! We did notice the unreachable target issue, We haven't adjusted the spawning area so hopefully can be fixed after the submission. Thank you for trying our game!

Nice use of Unity assets! I love gameplay, only had small problem with RNG, some items spawned in places I just couldn't reach. Very good game for 2 days period.

Developer

Yes, the Unity assets were huge and fun to explore. We couldn't resist the cute robot so now the robot is a star in our game! Thank you for playing our game!

I had so much fun with this game and it was such a simple, yet effective idea and really well done! Thank you for the opportunity to play this game. :) I hope you had as much fun building it as I had playing it

Developer(+1)

thank you too! we had fun playing around with how it bounces like pinball pre submission XD

Fun game! But feels like I am just randomly clicking all over the place xD

Also I happened to get in a situation where all my parcels to pick up were out of bounds, so I was deemed to die. :’) image.png

Developer

Aww, we appreciate you trying our game. Yes, we notice the out of bounds targets, so sorry you had to die that way. The controls were as intended, to be clicked around the roomba itself - or as randomly as you want - and let it move wherever it wants. Glad you had fun!

Submitted

I don't understand what to do when there is nothing to pick up. Also sometimes something spawns in walls

Developer

Most likely the pickable items spawned out of bounds and out of view. Still, thank you for trying our game anyway!

Fun controls but nothing spawned in after I hit 30 points so I died.

Developer

I see! We'll look into the spawning rate, because the current issue is that the items are spawning outside of player view / out of reach. Thank you for trying our game!
