It's a really cool game 🙂 I really like the idea using the cards on slots to avoid obstacles

Would be cool if the zoom wouldn't reset when you die and when the cards would stay in their slots. But that's only comfort, doesn't change the fact, that it's a really creative submission

Submitted

It was a cool game ❤️(and the music was EPIC 😍. I really liked it), I have a suggestion that the card positions were remembered and not reset when i click stop, so that i won't have to place all cards back and focus on a single card that needs changing

What was good:
The level design
The art
The concept
The gameplay


What was bad:
I want more :(

Submitted(+1)

Really nice work! I ike how  concept of the game fit with the theme! 
I think it just needs some work on a tutorial , more levels and cards!

Overall, awesome job!😎

Nice work! Love the little character, even if I feel bad watching him limp along after forcing him to explode 😆There are some neat strategies that emerge even from just having a few different cards, with lots of room for experimentation. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it past level 6 from running out of energy a little too soon.

Nitpicks:

  • I feel like the character could afford to start a little bit closer to the action
  • I think you could leave the card slot display up the whole time, and maybe just make it slightly more transparent once the level begins

I really like the vibe and the different uses the cards have (the explosion card can spawn the destroyed leg on a button and destroys spikes but also sets you into the injured-state). You really need to “weight” the different effects the cards and plan accordingly. Good job!

But! I think this game would be greatly improved by some kind of tutorial that gives you an idea of what the cards might be capable of. I was only able to figure it out with a lot of trial and error which is worsened by how long it takes for the robot to reach the first obstacle.

Still, well done!

It's a cool game but it's boring because of one reason. It's way too slow pased. The card based moving is fun though. The game is a bit confusing at first but you learn as you play and look at the robot's outcome to your cards which fits well for a puzzle game.

Developer

Hey I am actually developing a feature for making the game X2  faster on key press which will probably change your mind about it being slow paced:)
Also adding a tutorial and more mechanics in the future

I think it’s a really cool game, I loved it!

The only downside I can find is that the Bot is a bit slow and, when I place a jump card it doesn’t jump immediatly.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed playing your game, Thank’s for your submission! :)

It was pretty good, I really like the music. Overall it's a nice puzzle game.

Love it! A bit slow but still a fun puzzle game.

Appreciate the review! 
Actually working on X2 feature right now =)

I only was able to pass third level. Because I didn't get what the self-destruct does after  struggling 10 minutes. 

At first level I spent so much time to pass, because there was critical bugs. For example, no matter if robot jumps on spike, he will die instantly, no matter what. But I fixed it by waiting robot come closer to spike then with placing the jump command. 

I really liked the sounds. I very liked synchronized walking sound with robot's footsteps. 

Besides everything it was quite a nice experience. Keep doing what you doing!

Great I am glad you enjoyed it! 
I fixed those bugs and I am currently waiting for the jam to be over so I can upload my fixed version
Afterwards I am going to keep making levels and add mechanics to the game.
Probably would've made less bugs if I had more time testing (had - 1 day when started) 

Submitted

Oh that's unfortunate. But still an amazing job made in 2 days. I am looking forward for after-jam version! Good job!

Submitted(+1)

The visuals, sound and gameplay were pretty good. I was missing some explanation as to what the self destruct does for you, but I made it to the end eventually even past the weird bugs I encountered on the way!

Submitted(+1)

This is a great game, It follows the theme really well and it has good visuals.

Submitted(+1)

I like how the robot walks lol its so cute

Submitted

Coll game and puzzles are fun.

Wish the robot move a little bit faster.

I really like the idea it fits the theme.

This game is amazing! 

It's on topic and the visuals are cool, 

Mechanics are also great!

cool game!!

a bit more explanation would be cool so you understand the charge and such, but you get what it means also from playing. It fits the theme perfectly.

I love the idea, there is some real potential if you choose to develop it further. I'll definitely playing it more tomorrow.

Developer

Thanks! I am going to continue with development as I have lots of cards made that I ended up not using:)

Really cool game, nice music, fun idea and cute graphics on cards, but it would be better if it run faster and I found a bug where rob looses energy randomly at the start of the level

Developer

I'll add that feature to make the game X2 faster.

Damn, a bug? I wonder how did it happen as you can reset the scene anytime you want

Submitted(+1)

When I restarted a few times it went back to normal. Idk what caused it

Submitted

nice idea for this kind of theme, gameplay is pretty good, although i wish there was some way to play level faster because i failed a lot lol

Developer (1 edit)

This is what I managed to do in that timeframe.
I actually want to work on it a bit more and post it on steam.. I have so many ideas for it.
