cute with good level design, even though it was a bit annoying i think i get why the movement is so slow, damn i  am tired from rating games...

Nice game and puzzles, I would like the mobe be continous, for a faster gameplay.
Congrats!

Thanks! I'm working on implementing this feature for a post-jam version.

Puzzles started easy and gradually became pretty challenging but nothing too mind boggling.  

For the controls, there are two implementations I could suggest to make it better, you can make it continuous (I see many have suggested this ) or  make the move animation faster/snappier.  I understand you were trying to move the characters per grid which is nice for such puzzle.

Other than that, enjoyed it a lot. The last puzzles are great! 


P.S. My game also has robots :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've definitely seen an overwhelming request for continuous movement. I'm currently working on adding it as a feature for the post-jam version. I'll definitely check out your game and let you know what I think.

Thanks. The idea is for the robot player to feel chaotic and "out of control" by having its controls flipped. Obviously it still behaves in a predictable way, but it doesn't feel like it.

Fun little game, nicely done!

Loved the concept. The presentation was pretty good and you also had some great puzzles in here. The only thing I would say is maybe make it so they keep moving when holding a movement button.

This is so simple, but really effective! Your level design is what makes this - introduces the mechanic and then iterates on it interestingly without getting frustrating - nice job! :D

Very nice game and a lot of great puzzles!

Runs very smoothly. You iterate really well on a basic concept and create a number of fairly unique puzzles. If I had to add one thing it would be more types of robots! It would be fun trying to solve puzzles with robots that move in different ways.

The music and the art are awesome seriously. The gameplay is very fun also, very adicting puzzle, my only suggestion is to be able to walk in a direction by holding a key and not having to press it multiple times. Overall very pleasent experience, good job guys
