Really nice art, I like that you've also done a "controlling the security system" style game but taking it with a sort of Garry's Mod Deathrun style twist to it, which is nice! There are some issues with collision especially on the second game, and it would be awesome to see more polish and levels, but this was cool to see. I enjoyed the dialogue too between levels, quite witty.

Developer

Thankyou very much! We really appreciate it!

I really liked the Idea, but I think the execution needs more polishing.
The art is amazing, but the lack of sfx is apparent, the game feels slow, unresponsive, and the robot AI is sometimes frustrating. 
However, the core idea is still fun and got potential :)

Developer

Thankyou for the review!

Developer

Thankyou for the review!

the art is beautiful and the writing is fun. Personally found it frustrating there was no quick way to restart when the ai gets past an obstacle but with that this has the potential to be a really interesting puzzle game

Developer

Thankyou so much! We appreciate the review!

super crisp pixel art and very funny writing :) really liked the levels that are in this build and i didn't feel like stopping the AI was too finicky. biggest compliment is that i really wish there were more levels

also as like a bug report: for some reason the first time i beat level 3 it didn't boot me back to the menu but instead restarted it?? even tho i got that end level text that you get when you do beat it. i think maybe it was bc i destroyed the robot as it was super close to the exit so both things triggered at once

thank you for the experience!

Developer

Thankyou so much for the support! I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for reporting the bug, that's indeed what happened. We are planning on fixing some of the bugs and adding a couple more levels.

The art was very nicely done, everything was well put together. The robot was difficult to block/trap but it was fun.

Developer

Thankyou for the review!

The artwork featured in this game is truly splendid. There's charm and appeal in the robot's animations and the limited color palette is used masterfully to convey the level's environment. I can't help but feel bad for squishing the happy little fella. I would have liked to see more response for stopping the robot, like a juicy explosion animation seen in Mega Man. Beyond a few physics issues with the platforms and crushers, I quite enjoyed this game!

Developer

Wow thanks a lot! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Nice game, the art is very nice and the music feels very tense! Wish it was longer

Developer

There were a few bugs where the robot randomly stops moving, otherwise it's a good game.

I especially like the art style

oh, and I see you're also a connoisseur of nice graphics)). Unfortunately, I caught a few bugs, but the game turned out to be very pleasant)

Developer

Thankyou very much!

This game is great! The visuals are top-tier(one of the best I've seen from a game jam game) and the game seems really well made. Each mechanism seems like it is really polished. It would be better if the game gave more direction to what button controls what. Also, I'd rather more levels over more features.

Developer

Thankyou! I agree, there should've been more levels. I tried to finish all of the features first so that making levels would be easy, but by the time the features were done we had too little time left to make enough levels.

literally looks like a paid game I'm being serious, how does this have barely any attention? hope it gets the attention it deserves

Developer(+1)

Wow, that's high praise! Thankyou so much! I'm glad you liked it.

pretty good and fun game, has some intricate timing and all that stuff wich is pretty cool. just one issue I ran on the third level: the bot got stuck on the terrain in the first section of the third level and would stop moving, but still very fun.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah I've run into that bug myself as well, it's one of all those "I wish I had more time to do/fix this" things.

The game is F U N
Just sometimes the bot gets stuck
The lack of levels is something, but I ignore this
And the part where you can see/use the rockets is not useful
But it is still useable
I say 9.5/10 for the sprites
6.5/10 for the levels
And 9/10 for the gameplay
So it gives 25/30 (83% fun)

Developer

That's a really generous score! Thankyou so much. The bot AI is indeed a lil jank lol.

i came here bc you had the best comment on our game , and let me say YOUR GAME IS AMAZING , much better than our game at least the puzzels are really good , but i can name three problems 

1.the lack of sfx : because there wasn't any sound effects it was hard to give the user any feedback 

2.the lack of levels and that's of course due to the low time limit keep up the hard wok

Developer

Thankyou so much! I really try to put effort into rating games, so thanks for noticing. Yeah wish we had more time, we had sfx ready but no more time to implement them. There was actually one more level made, but at the last minute I discovered a bug that broke the entire level system so it had to be scrapped.
