Wow, exceptional puzzle design, love the sound and the whole aesthetic too, I really want more of this. Good luck coming up with idea for more levels, awesome work! I have so much fun figuring out the solution! :)
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
This was a really fun one! I was a bit worried when I saw that the basis was once again two characters being linked together, but it turned out to be very inventive in how it applied the concept!
Thank you, and yeah that is definitely a common theme throughout the Jam I'm noticing, ha ha
Nice! If there had been more levels, I would have continued playing, nice puzzle game, really good job!
Wowowow would play this game and stay on levels just to jam out to the music this was awesome!!! The art is impeccable and the puzzles were really well designed and challenging, but not impossible! Felt very rewarding when you beat a level! Great job!
Thank you so much! Jan did a terrific job with all the sound and music. heres a link to the other work hes done: https://m.soundcloud.com/janseidelmusic/sets/game-music-demo-reel?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
I love every aspect of this game, I love some of the clever tricks you have to use to beat later levels. the music was fun to listen to. Overall this is a game I'd totally download on my phone
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Very polished, and the puzzles were challenging but doable, which is ideal. I enjoyed it a lot!
Really cute artwork and sound. Enjoyed playing it!
A wonderfully designed puzzle game. Much more unique than simply multiple dudes moving at once, but instead having controls linked to different bots. A few things to note: I did get a white screen soft-lock when resetting one of the later levels. Also I kinda expected the same bots to have the same functions in every level, but they were mixed, which is fine, just not realized at first. Great work on the sound and visuals.!
Yeah, we missed that white out glitch before exporting unfortunately. Thank you for the kind words though, we're glad you enjoyed it!
Music is the best. Such sweet, chill tunes. I also liked the art a lot and the puzzles were nice. Great job on this one!
Thank you! Jan was a great musician to work with, you can find more of his work here if you're interested! https://soundcloud.com/janseidelmusic/sets/game-music-demo-reel
Ooh, thanks!
Thank you so much, this means a lot to me
Nice puzzle game ! The art is really cute and the concept is original.
I enjoyed the changing controls, but the robots are a bit too similar to be easily distinguished. Maybe, the color of each icon of the left menu could use the color of the corresponding robot ?
Otherwise, great game !
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!
Extremely charming game! Very good puzzle design, challenging, but still very doable. I love the art and music. Great work
Pretty nice game! Like the sprites and look of the game. Though, having the robots have different control schemes can be a confusing at first since I have to constantly refer to the left when making moves.
Thank you! Yeah, if we had more time I think we probably could have come up with a more elegant solution for showing each robot's controls
Took me a while to solve some of the levels, but this game looks so nice I had to keep playing even when I felt like giving up. Very well done! My one advice is that it would be nice if there was an "undo" button. Overall the game looks great, and the puzzles are creative!
Ooo, we didnt even consider making an undo button, we might have to implement that when we add more to this game. Im glad it was fun enough to keep trying each level, the looping music really carried in that department
i am a big fan of how this game looks, especially the sprites and the bossa nova music (that's what it is, i think), which really tie this up really nicely. took me a while to solve some puzzles but it still felt rewarding to solve them. i noticed a bug with resetting level 4, but i'm glad i can skip ahead if i want. i also noticed that level 7 has the controls wrong, but that's just minor. very well done :)
Yeah, we found those two bugs right after submiting unfortunately, that’s how it goes I guess. Im glad you enjoyed it so much, it was a joy to make
Yes, the main music in the game is pretty much "north american" bossa nova. For the menu music, I had more of a general muzak vibe in mind. I'm glad you like it!
This game is super well made! I love the little bouncy animations, the music, and the super cheesy "Yayyyyy" at the end of every level. Everything fits super well together and the mechanic is super unique, the puzzles are really well made too!
That "Yaaaayy" was Tobi's idea! I tried to make it sound as miserable as possible lol
Love it, really well done!
Very charming. It's a very neat puzzle game, well-put together. The side-bar lore/text/dialogue added a lot of character.
I wasn't quite sure what to do in level 2, so it was good that I could skip ahead to further levels. Each level was well-constructed, and had a good difficulty curve. The puzzles felt intuitive and felt good to solve.
The SFX and music were top-notch, and really elevated the entire experience. Good work!
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Very nice pixel art and a great concept. I think it could be greatly improved by having some kind of indicator on the robots themselves to show which direction they can move, and if you could move the robots together without them crashing into one-another
Thank you, and yeah those would be great additions! We had a lot of other ideas for this, but only had so much we could add in the timeframe for the Jam unfortunately
Great idea. It was a little unclear that mouse should be used to establish a link, but afterwards it turned out to be interesting puzzle!
Gotcha, thanks for the feedback!
Cool design and movement system! Sounds are great as well, not bad puzzle)
Thank you! We all worked very hard on this
