  • Oh this is just beautiful! The little robot is super-cute (reminds me of Wall-e) and the gameplay is simple while being a real challenge. Presentation is slick as can be, too. The only thing I didn't appreciate at first was that you get more cards - I thought I had to collect all the power with just my opening cards, which I knew was impossible :) But once I realised that you get more cards (and rules) and just have to ensure the battery doesn't drain down, then I was consumed by this for far too long. Great stuff!

Thanks for playing, and for making Phaser such a great framework! I do like the idea of being given all the cards you need to pull off one big sweep, so I'll consider adding a bonus stage challenge where you have one round to collect them all. Could be fun!

What a complete puzzle game! Congratz making this piece of a wonderful game. So a smooth and relaxing experience.

Really awesome game!! Felt too tricky at first but then my brain adapted to it and it was a lot of fun. Loved all the little animations (especially how the robot’s treads rotate before the body) and the overall graphical design is great. Well done!!

Amazing puzzle game with lots of nice animations! The scaling of difficulty and introduction of new rules and cards is perfect!

Very nice card puzzle game! I enjoyed the clean and polished art style, gameplay and music. Was a really fun experience, nicely done!

The card-fan tween animation I felt it is a thing that I need to learn.

Love the coding game aspect of this puzzle and it really burns my brain zzzzzz...

Great BG. Soothing music. Cute robot. Collecting POWER. So polished.

BTW are the cards randomly drawn after each play ? Having an UI to show which cards appear might help ?

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on polish, but most of it boils down to math. You can do the card-fan by setting card.angle = k*card.x to make it tilt, and then add a sprinkle of Math.sin(time + x) to make it bob softly. I use sin for a lot of animations.

The cards are randomly picked from a deck specific to each level, with some requirements like having at least 2 of each kind. Showing your deck sounds like a good idea, or perhaps giving the player a way to customize it. Currently each level more or less introduces a new card.

Nice and innovative idea. Great artwork!

Super great work! I love this card strategy game. It looks like a simulation for a robotic vacuum cleaner, haha. Not only is the gameplay outstanding, but the art style is also fantastic.
