Love the minimalist art style and i really enjoyed the puzzles!

Developer

Thanks man good to hear that.

Submitted

the camera keeps getting more and more out of place

Developer

Oops sorry for that. Could you elaborate? What do you mean by getting out of place, I made sure it stays in bounds and there is a limit to how far you can pan.

Submitted

every time i started a level it drifted toward the bottom left, I didn't  know how to move the camera

Developer(+1)

You move camera by holding RMB and moving mouse, I wrote it in game page and in here too but anyway, thanks for playing

A fun little game how ever i couldnt get past the second leve >.<  i can see you put alot of effort into this though :)

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing. No one could get past the second level because I didn't make a tutorial. I made 8 levels and they are all just sitting there, I am gonna cry.

I like the concept ans its fun to play:)

Developer

Well thank you. I hope you didn't get stuck, I really should have made a tutorial level.

From the game page just in case you missed it:

Controls and how to play

Remember Vacumator is searching for a path in clockwise order and goes to the first empty tile that is available. 

Place your blocks is such order that when it goes to that path the block will direct it to its goal.

  • Choose direction switch tool from toolbar and place it on grid
  • While hovering on a tile with direction switch block press R to rotate it
  • Hold RMB to move camera
  • Mouse wheel to zoom
  • Press play mode to activate vacumator

Nice simple little puzzle game. Took me a while to figure out you could rotate the movement blocks with r. Would be nice to see this expanded with more types of blocks

Developer

Oh sorry for that. I unfortunately didn't have time to make a tutorial level. And thanks for playing btw.

Submitted

Really interesting idea, lots of room to expand for sure with different movement blocks or obstacles. I also liked the main menu. I'm dumb though and couldn't get past the second lvl. I guess I'm terrible at puzzle games lol. Nice job!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing. Yes I agree there is room for obstacles and blocks and in fact I made a second jump block but it was buggy so I had to scrap that :(
