It's such a fun concept, I really liked it!

My only complain is that robots should maybe have an visual indicator that shows in which direction they can go, instead of a fixed skin that repeats over the levels, but with different controls.
I found myself moving a robot in the wrong place so many times, just because the same robot in the previous level could do different moves.

Other than that, it was really fun to play! Very good job!

thanks for the feedback! we planned on having much better indicators but time constraints made us rush it. check back a while after the jam as well be adding to it

Nice concept !  I like the sound design, it's really good

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! All of our sound and music were made by Jan Seidel, check out his soundcloud if you want more of his jams

Cool concept! I found myself being a bit confuses as to which robot can do what movements though (even though it is shown on the screen on the left). Maybe having a small indicator on each robots head – maybe like a little 4-way crown of LEDs – indicating this would be helpful.

Developer

That was our idea too, but harsh time limit tword the end made us simplify it unfortunately. we were thinking for fixing it after the jam, adding an overlay of how they can move with the tab button or something

Fun game! Artwork is done right, and music is fitting. I really enjoyed this game!

Developer

We tried to make it as relaxing and not aggressive as possible to mix well with the sit-there-and-think puzzle gameplay. if you like that, Jan has made way more music on his soundcloud, you should check it out!
