How does your game fit the theme?
Most of the time you don't have a direct control of the character. While you are on a green tile you can register inputs. Then the bot will loop through those ​to reach the end. To finish the first room for example you only need 5 inputs (up, up, right, right, right) then the bot will do its job !

Wow this was quite the mind bender! Trying to think far enough ahead to reach the end was tricky enough, trying to get all the doughnuts... I think I'll need to stick at this for a while...

Really nice take on the theme, good work! :)

Developer

Thank you :)

Very nice mechanic! Took a little bit to understand, but once I did it all clicked.
Good stuff!

Developer

Thank you :)

Really cool. Mechanics made prefect since to me. It reminded me of those pseudo code games designed to teach programming, but in a more gamified kind of fun way.

Awesome job!

Developer

Thanks !

Just like everyone else - I didn't know what the mechanic was going - but then I figured it out... Great game!

Developer

Thanks ! :)

Took me a moment to understand the mechanic but it was a really clever way of turning the out of control theme into a puzzle! Also nice to see another Pico 8 submission!

Developer(+1)

Thanks !

You used Pico 8 too ? ❤️ Gonna give a look :)

This is super original and works perfectly. So hard to wrap my head around what will happen but I enjoyed trying and failing. great job! keep up the good work.

Please checkout our little game if you get a moment.

Developer

Thanks ! :)

And don't worry, I always give a look to my reviewers' games ;)

I figure out the movement relly quick. It is making to think a lot in next levels. First one I just passed just by luck :)

Developer

Thanks :)

reminds me of those arrows in pokemon

Developer

Haha :) Kinda. 

Looks simple but it's very hard to level design. It's often like that.

I really like the core mechanic! The movement recording is really nice!

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! 

It tooks me a while to figure how to do it. I didn't had a lot of time to think about the level design in itself unfortunately.

I'm confused as to how to control this.

Developer

Yeah, I didn't had the time to play test it or to do a proper tutorial. Next time I will focus more on those points.
But thanks for taking some time to test it :) 
The main idea was that you didn't control it. At least most of the time. When you are on a green tile you can register input then the bot will loop through those to reach the end. To finish the first room for example you only need 5 inputs (up, up, right, right, right) then the bot will do its job.

I could not stop playing once I realized the way puzzles were done.  Good job.

Developer

Thank you ! :)

Puzzles are sooooo hard to level design. I had no idea ^^' A good learning weekend.

Hi, can't figure out the controls once the game starts. Can you put them on your itch.io page?

Developer

Yeah, I didn't had the time to play test it or to do a proper tutorial. Next time I will focus more on those points.
But thanks for taking some time to test it :) I'm still learning and I make a lot of mistakes ^^'
