Did you credit all assets in-game (including your own) as required by the rules?

Yes

How did your team implement the focus (and optionally, the theme)?
Focus: The game window is 480x720 (which perfectly meets the 50% taller requirement). The camera scrolls up after each level (it never scrolls in any direction either).

Theme: The main characters are robots. Each one represents a binary bit (0 or 1), which determines how it interacts with different machines.

Great work! Love the concept. The puzzles were not too difficult to understand but still tricky in some places. I do wish we had the ability to hold the move button and not have to press for each space but that is a minor issue.

I loved the opening cut scene and how it set up the game. I'm not a puzzle person cause I'm generally not that bright. I got stuck on the first puzzle with a key. I got the key and went to the lock and nothing happened, so I'm not sure if I missed something or if there was something else I was suppose to do.

That's probably a bug... as long as a key is following a bot, they should automatically unlock locked gates just by touching them. I've never encountered that in testing, sorry that it happened to you.

Could your key have burned up in the fire on the way back? I'm not sure if you would have missed that or not

Submitted

that is possible and if so I definitely missed it if burning keys is possible.

Super fun game. Art was nice and simple but communicated well. The music was nice, and there were a bunch of really fun mechanics powering the puzzles.

Overall just a really solid job, great work.

Love it! Graphics, audio, gameplay, puzzle quality, all well done! Only thing that would be nice is an undo button, failing at the end of a level because you miss pressed now requires you to repeat the whole thing, which can be a bit of a drag.

Great little puzzle game!  I would love to see this expanded further.

The game was great and the puzzles were very creative, challenging but nothing too hard you couldn't work through. A minor bit of feedback would have been the ability to hold down the arrow key to move as opposed to needing to press each time. Overall, awesome job.

Loved the effort put into the story and the characters at the start. Mechanics were really interesting, and I found myself bopping along with the 8 bit song. Very nicely done.

The puzzle mechanic is great in this gave me a good challenge. Great use of the theme and loved the story well done!

I thought this was a really good game! The puzzles were all interesting and the mechanics were cool as well. I wish the circuits were explained a little more obviously though, since I didn't really focus on the bottom text and missed the explanation the first time around and was left very confused for a while. I also wish that the game mentioned that you could activate a circuit after a bot died and bring them back, instead of having to have a powered circuit when one died. Other than that, though, I really enjoyed the game. I thought the difficulty of the puzzles was about right, the sound and music were both well made, and the graphics were also really good. Great stuff!

Phenomenal puzzle design! I love the attention to design and how most mechanics also lean towards the theme!

Really impressed with the binary theming and the creativity of the levels with the central mechanic in 10 days! Could be a little hard in places to grasp the exact range/sequence of interference in the world around but quickly got used to it, well done!
