I think this is a really good idea! The wood wasn't that visible because it was dark... I enjoyed playing it and I think with a bit more work it could get really good!

Submitted

Neat idea. If the robot dies while you're holding an object you respawn holding the object from really far away

Really cool idea, but i think gameplay can be improved.

Well, the wood should definitely attract attention to it. Current colors can not do that.

And i would really like to see robot detecting the wall while you are moving. That would be great :)

And maybe player could be just a bit faster. Not sure about this one.

I dunno these are my first thoughts. The idea was actually enough to make this game interesting, but i think that kind of stuff would make the game even better. 

Submitted

not sure if this is a glitch, but player movment gets worse.  

Developer

what exactly do you mean with that

Submitted

it started small on the first level, then on the second it got unbearable, the player jumped around, and whenever i tried to move up, the players speed was reduced significantly 

Submitted

Wow I didn't expect such a cool idea!

The wood material however doesn't stand out from other material, but nothing that can't be solved in future releases! :)

Submitted

great puzzle desing but sometime the robot will go died even if I put the box behind but the best part is the intro !

Submitted

I really like the concept of the game. However, I couldn't get very far, because the bot seems to often ignore the box and even push it away.

The robot can only detect the block when you drop it again. Should have made that clearer though, so thanks for the feedback

  • interesting game idea
  • the graphics do not make the difference between metal and wood very clear - for a game like this, you want to make that type of difference very clear to the player
  • it was not clear that you needed to take the 1 wall bit with you from screen to screen, was forced to restart because I had nothing to block the path on the second screen.

thanks for the feedback! In the how to play section of the menu it would have stated that you should bring blocks to the next level, but that became unreadable after i converted the game to a webgl build so yeah, unlucky lol

but even then i should have made that clear in the game as most people  probably wouldn't read the entire tutorial

Nice game however the intro, I feel is kinda to good for the robot model, when you have a cinematic and cool intro like that and the robot looks like a square it doesn't exactly feel right. I was about to say why wood until I searched up is wood invisible to different wavelengths of light and saw it was indeed transparent to radar, if this was your intension good job!

Developer (1 edit)

thanks for the feedback! My intention with the "cinematic" intro was kind of a parody of cutscenes like this, where theres more and more tension what cool thing it will be and then it is just some ugly blocky robot lol but i probably didn't portray that understandably

the intro scene is cool, but I don't like how you have to start from the beginning each time.

Submitted

Fun little puzzle game! The intro cutscene showing off the robot was fun. If you wanted to improve it could be nice to see the path the robot's going to take, that way you can see the impact placing down obstacles has. Overall cool game!

Submitted

Nice game!

Submitted

Very nice! I love how its both a puzzle game AND fast-paced- really a mixed bag. One thing maybe to work on next time is adding music or more sounds, and just tidying up the visuals a bit. If you'd done that, it would've been a 5 star all round game imo!

Uploading the game threw off the UI so you can't read the "How to play" section anymore. The controls are explained though and I uploaded the how to play section as a screenshot here.
