Challenging game. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thanks for playing and streaming it !
We'll make UI and available moves more clear in the future and try to reduce retry frustration.
Really cool puzzle game, the mechanic is confusing at first, but not that hard. The art is pretty good, nice work!
Thanks for playing our game ! We'll try to make more levels (and harder ones) to push the idea a bit further.
Interesting puzzle game, but too short ! I would like some animation when the rover is moving, not just instantaneous jumps from one place to another.
Thanks ! Glad you liked it.
We struggled with some bugs during the last stretch, so we had to sacrifice level quantity to stability.
We plan to update it after the jam to add a lot more content.
Super fun puzzle game! Maybe if you highlighted the tile that was the rovers next target it might help new players understand faster. But I am nit picking. I loved the visuals too. Great game!
You're definitely not nitpicking, better indication is required. We planned for some but it was cut in the last day panic. You're the first to suggest highlighting the next tiles though and I'm ashamed to say that we didn't even think about it and this seems like the perfect idea for what we want to achieve.
Great visuals and a puzzle game. I had problems with starting and understanding it but then I got a hang of it and it became way better and easier.
Thanks for playing. Glad you went past the rocky start.
Cool idea for a puzzle game. Also, nice visuals and audio.
I struggled a bit at the beginning, but once I grasped the concept it was really fun to play :)
Thanks. Glad you got over the fact that we badly explained the controls / concept in-game. (There should've been a tutorial, it was almost done).
Happy you liked the visuals, your game looks nice too ! (Don't mind me, I wrecked your neighbourhood)

I think this is a really creative take on the theme. I love how you have to free the rover, it's pretty adorable. :)
Once I figured out how to play, I really loved it! The puzzles were pretty fun. In your post-jam version, maybe you could add a restart button, and give the player a few seconds before the rover starts moving? I dunno, it was a good game and I'm trying to think of feedback. Good work! :)
Thanks for playing ! It's really heartwarming to see that our concept and puzzles hit home for a lot of you.
We're still discussing how to reduce failure frustration and adding a restart button is a potential solution.
We have a bug where the rover already moved one time when the level starts, which add to the problem of having enough time to figure out the level.
