I love the cover art for this game, I clicked so fast! This is a fantastic implementation of the theme.

I do enjoy the enthusiastic "woo!" every time you complete a level. The game also is paced in a very intuitive way, but as the levels progressed, the controls became a little confusing. I would have preferred if the buttons to move didn't change as you rotated, it made it very hard to move without really thinking hard each tile (ruins the fun a little for me).

Also when I first encountered the rotational pads, I didn't realise they could rotate you in any direction. I thought they just set you in a certain direction (I always moved off them too fast to notice they keep turning you if you wait).

I think given that all the gameplay controls are keyboard bound, R to restart + Any key for next level would have been helpful!

Overall, a very high quality entry and I wish you the best of luck!

I will admit I was disappointed there was no easter egg in here:

The level designing is smartly done, it first it was confusing, but was interesting to figure out the puzzle. A good entry :)

Hi DrakeGames!

This was exceptional! I love the art style and music. I am not great at puzzle games, but this one was quick to pick up and it was thoroughly enjoyable once I got the hang of it. And the robot is adorable! Great job!

Best,

Cool puzzle game. Looks good and the music is nice. The controls are a bit confusing at times as you are not facing forwards as you move, but that's no biggie.

Amazing game! My only problem was the telegraphing of the chain directions, which in some cases was hard to read.

The Trolley Problem

Very cute! I love games with non-human characters! The art is very nicely done and I loved how every level had other details. Honestly sometimes they distracted me because I wanted to explore them and had to reset the level! Great job!
