Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for playing!

Yeah I am going to make the dying part easier in my future updates, thanks for the feedback!

Ooo leaderboard at end! Thats a cool idea, thanks!

Thanks

Oooo... I believe u found the easter egg in the game. Thanks for playing!

Ya the goal was to save the humans and not to kill them. When they touch the robot they die themselves. But thanks for the advice! I will add a tutorial! I just didnt have enough time. Thanks for playing!

thanks!

Ya it seems that the version that got uploaded on ITCH had an error, the final version I hv that fixed but I must have uploaded the wrong version. 

Yup

Thanks a lot for the feedback 😃. I will 100% be adding more features to the game after the game jam. Maybe something like maybe maps, or some other stuff.  I did add the time recording feature but was unfortunately able to make a lb for it. My idea for like 2lb, 1 based on overall score and other based on time. Like shortest game time type thing. But had exams so couldnt add that to the game.

I am going to guess that the game being just an image is intentional...

Ooo thanks for the ideas! Some of the pigs are like easter eggs. So basically in the map i am guessing the pigs you are talking about are the ones over like the ladders end thing. So I made it so like to get those you have to fall from the top onto that thing. It was to make the game harder and like enable this sort of mystery thing to it. 

Thanks! I will surely try your game

Ya a bit.. one error fix leads to another.... I fixed the dragging problem but the collision system got messed up. Thanks for playing!

Hmm... maybe try playing again on Web? Cause I just played the game and the error is not there. Thanks for playing!

Ya! I had in mind to make the game not too difficult cause whenever I make anything a bit difficult of complicated then people give bad rating. So in this game I tried to balance it as much as possible keeping it to the easier side. Thanks for playing the game!

Uhh may I know what upgrade you are talking about? Cause I did check and the shop works..

Thanks! I'll check out your game for sure!

Thanks for playing the game!

Thanks for playing the game!

Ya! Each level can be solved in many ways! I put enough blocks so that the player does not feel "stuck" or that this level does not have enough to complete it. Thanks for playing my game!

Really good game! Loved how the shop expanded when you bought things. Spent like 20min trying to get the best score lol. 

OHH, i knew those issues but, never knew how to fix them. Thanks so much for this feedback. Once the game jam voting period has ended I will implement this for sure. 

Ya I would have customized and made my own sprite but ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for playing my game!

Thanks!

Oh I have added a gameplay now, you can look at it for refrence.

Thanks alot!

Thanks for the feedback! I totally forgot about a skip option 😅

Ohh thats a really good idea, didnt think of that. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the feedback!
