I love the humour of this game and the stylized visuals... very well thought out and everything felt so cohesive from the art to the sound to the concept! It might just be me but I had an issue getting softlocked at the beginning. Regardless, very polished work!

Submitted

Pretty fun idea! I love how the enemies are roombas but sometimes i get soft locked for no reason in some spots :0

Developer(+1)

thank you, sorry about the softlocking i never encountered that during playtest so i wasnt really aware of it (to be fair i had like 3 hours to playtest lol) will try to maybe patch that after the rating period if i have time

Submitted

This is SO good! I loved the game esthetics. The visual effects and drawings are very good, the dialogs are funny and the game is fun! (I liked the description btw, I almost didn't fit the requirements)

Submitted

Some of my favourite visuals throughout the whole gamejam. This was all incredibly well executed, very nice work!

Developer(+1)

aw, thank you so much <3

Submitted

Amazing concept and visuals. I got scared shit when the alarm went off lol. Very fun, short and sweet game.

Submitted

AYYYYY!!! Man, these visuals are INCREDIBLE! I wish I could do that. 😭

The music is like... ☕ mmm...

It took me a few attemps but I secured the cash

Amazing game! Loved everything about it. Can I ask what the chaotic path finding algorithm is?

Developer

thanks you, the pathfinding is just a simple breadth first search

A really good game!!! Can you rate mine?

Developer(+1)

thanks :),  already rated yours its quite fun

Thx

I love the visuals, sound and music, they are amazing! I think though everything being pitch black when you turn off lights is too disorienting, I couldn't really understand where to go. Other than that really solid submission with a strong gameplay!

Submitted

Love the aesthetics and humour! Had lots of fun playing it too!

Submitted

its so fun and silly, really enjoyed it 

Submitted

The art in this game is fantastic!

Very fun story with a simple gameplay. Nice game!
Suggestions:
I would love that the robots could permanently turn on the light so that the game is harder!
Make the treasure more visible!

Developer

thanks you very much, yeah difficulty was really an issue because some people made it first try and for others it was still too hard so i made it quite easy in the end so that everyone would get a fair chance of winning the game. I think permanent lights would take away from the agency of the player tho since i specifically wanted all lighting in the game to be manipulatable. But i get where you are coming from and maybe a smarter AI or some sort of flashlight for the roombas could have helped with creating more difficulty. Had the same thought regarding the treasure too last minute so i put a picture of it in the tutorial but its quite small so im sorry if you missed it

Submitted

thanks for sharing your opinion! Highly value your response.

Developer(+1)

omg i just realized what you ment, of course the enemys are supposed to permanently turn the lights back on, i was thinking you ment like locking the lights to always stay on. The going back out is a bug and i somehow missed it during last playtests very sorry for that, i will upload a patch right after the jam if you want you can check it out to get the unbuggy experience, thanks for notifying me bout that i really dont know how i missed that

Submitted

Oh! Sorry I didn't understood you correctly. Hhahaha what a misunderstanding from my my side, I could have told you that hahahah.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Submitted

Very Cool Art

10/10 - Me as well lol Really good job all around. i did have an issue the first time playing it where once i walked on a light switch i couldn't move but refreshing the page fixed things up. Also, the concept was amazing! i forgot how chaotic cats get when a laser pointer comes out... amazing

Developer

thanks you for the kind feeback :), sorry about the being stuck issue, this was my first time trying to do my own pathfinding and it turned out quite buggy even tho i tried my best to minimize the chance of running into an issue such as this.

Submitted

Very nice Art and the menu screen and intro scene is too good well done

Developer (1 edit)

Submitted

It has great atmosphere!  Sneaky.

Developer

I really liked the visuals and gameplay was also fun. Good job. Wished there was a boss fight tho.

Developer(+1)

Thanks :), i actually tried making a sort of bossfight with the alarm  and everything but didnt have time for a proper one
