You've balanced the puzzles excellently. Well done!
FYI: I encountered a bug causing no text to show. Didn't really get in my way. But still. Played on Arc browser and Mac OS if that's any relevant.
Thanks for playing!
I had one testing get a similar bug when testing on Mac with Safari but couldn't for the life of me figure it out! If you have a moment, do you recall more details? Were you able to reproduce it intentionally? Was it all text, just UI, or just button/robot text?
The main menu is fine. It's in game that I lack text.
perfectly scaled level! really make me think!
Brilliantly done. Each new mechanic explained perfectly through demonstration, thoughtful puzzle design, cute characters, lovely sounds, great atmosphere. No notes, incredible submission. Congratulations :D
This is a really fun little puzzle game. You did a great job explaining the mechanics through introduction levels before you tested the player with the mechanics. The art is really charming and the sound design is great.
Nice job!
Very enjoyable puzzle game!
The mechanics are well explained and the puzzles are nicely laid out in such a way that it never felt like there was an unreasonable difficulty spike or too many new mechanics. I really enjoyed figuring out in what order to pickup, drop, and throw blocks.
The rest of the game was incredibly polished. SFX, UI, visuals all fully realized. I especially liked the animations for the main character.
Very nicely done, I don't really have any feedback because what is here is completely fleshed out and polished.
Really cute and satisfying puzzle game! Really enjoyed how the difficulty slowly ramped up and all the little sound effects
Very good entry. I like the style and the puzzles. I think it would be nice to have the possibility of putting a robot on the trap cell. Also, it would add a new mechanic where you need to "feed" the trap cell ;)
Yeah, my spouse really wanted me to have a fail state where the player or the robots could fall into the pits, but it didn't feel worth the time near the end. Not being able to place them on a pit feels a little awkward, but I tried to design the puzzles around the need to place them there... with only some success lol
Thanks for playing!
This is a really nice puzzle game. Thee grid did rip m up a bit as for somee reason I assumd I could only throw the robots in a straight line but I got there eventually. I love the leveel progression and how you taught the meechanics lik the button with a face needing any robot etc. Very well done I really enjoyed this a lot.
That was a very fun and enjoyable puzzle game! I really enjoyed the different tools you got as you progressed throughout the game, it really kept me thinking on my toes. Nice job!
Very nice polished and finished game! Great work!
That was great, really got sucked into the puzzles and ended up finishing the whole game! I loved the art and music, super cute.
A very fun puzzle game. I like the cute character design and animation. The puzzles aren't too hard but still offer some challenge in the later levels. Well done!
Really nice design! At level 4, the part where you have to go back through a switch, showing that the switches can be turned off as well was very clever! A great package of feeling clever and finding the limits of the concept.
I love the puzzle level design, it’s brilliant, the main problem is that there are so many numbers above my head when comparing later levels that I’m starting to lose count of how many there are, but yes,game needs challenge and you guys are doing a great job with the game design
Thanks for the feeback!
Yeah, level 11 pushes the bounds of this system a bit further than is comfortable, I think. I considered adding a weight counter but that was the only level that really needed it. I tried to make the overhead a little lighter by breaking it into three sections, because you'll know your weight from the last switch you passed. But the number of numbers you're holding can still be overwhelming.
Thanks for playing!
The robots are very cute!
The song is super chill, it really compliments the feel good mood of the small robots.
The robot jumping made me smile lol.
Took me a while to notice that the buttons were connected to the open latches. Maybe a different color could help.
Level 11 took me a while, but I managed to finish the game.
Really cool concept, I wish I could see some more levels and different robot combinations. Congratulations!
The robots are so cute and the puzzles are really nicely incremental and just really well designed in general! I don't think this was intentional, but the animation when you put down a robot friend makes it look like you give them a little pat, which was adorable.
.....but man, you really didn't need to make your game call out how bad I am at simple arithmetic. But aside from that, this game was perfect <3
Super cool concept and fun puzzles! Love the art style, and the game is very intuitive. Great job!
Wait a sec, you just tricked me into a math game! :O
(I coulda been really into this in the days of Math Blaster)
I love being a big beefy robot who throws my friends around. Nice puzzle designs—never overwhelming, even when I thought they were going to be. Super solid jam game! Well done.
Fun little puzzle game! So cute. One strong robot guy :)
What a fun game, and well-designed puzzles! I liked how you introduced the new robots and slowly built up complexity without causing confusion. The round yellow robot was my favorite :)
