Very fun puzzler. I found myself just sort of riding around on the robots a lot, even when it didn't have anything to do with completing the level.

At first I was put off by the design of this one, just seeing the thumbnail.

Then when I actually got into the game, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. This truly nailed the look of dozens of similar shareware games that I grew up playing. Combine that with the feeling of a "complete" game with a variety of levels and challenges and I think this game ended up being my favorite of the bunch. Excellent work.

Wow, this is a full game. Many well thought out levels with increasing difficulty and a boss. Well done, I applaud this especially for a game jam!

This feels very nostalgic, and the level of completeness and polish is insane! I feel like I pirated this game from the past. The introduction of the puzzle elements in the first few levels is nice.

Such a great entry!

I like really like this game and I like how you made it because I like how you made the game because it is very nice. Thank you. (from my kid who is obsessed with your game)

Wow, this is such a finished game! Love all the mechanics! The level progression is very well paced! And the little robot dudes are so cute! Especially with the other skin! Awesome job! Now to wait for Pinntendo to deliver my other levels!

Wow, congrats on getting all the bolts! I was worried it would be too hard and no one would bother-- I didn't have time to do any playtesting other than just myself, which is hard when it is a puzzle game and you know all the solutions!

My sister and I were very determined! I don't think it was too too difficult to get the bolts though!

It's an issue with the software I used, Clickteam Fusion 2.5. Apparently a lot of virus scanners like to mark executables it compiles as a virus now for some reason. I swear it isn't! You might have to turn off any real-time scanning that your virus scanner might be doing to get it to run. Sorry! Now I know better than to use Clickteam anymore, I guess.

Having trouble downloading this one...any suggestions? My virus scanner doesn't like the cut of this file's jib.

See the comment I made to ALXtechart above. It's an issue with the software I used. I promise I didn't sneak any viruses in there!
