This is an amazing game. The story especially was fantastic. I love the little dialog snippets during the levels and you did a great job at teaching the rules of the game. Sadly I wasn't able to beat the last level. I tried it for about an hour and got past the first section once, than got cought by one of the bots and couldn't reproduce what I did to escape the beginning area.
Thanks. There is a HINT section in the blog, and if you cant get past the last level, you can always pass it with F10 if you want to see the ending! Thanks for the kind words!
I did that and the ending was great. Im just a little sad because I'm too stupid to beat the level and the hints didn't help much.
Don't feel too bad. I got stuck on the last level for quite a while as well and ended up asking extra hints, so you are not alone LOL. If we have more time we could add some in-between levels to drill the concept more. But it's a game jam and time is short. Thank you for checking out the game! P.S. We updated the hints section a little bit more and hopefully that might help a bit
I just watched the video and wooow I would never have figured it out.
Loved this. The art is great and the story is too. The puzzles are great also. I was not expecting a puzzle game when I first started playing this.
Thank you for checking the game out! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very well made game. I love the art, meaningful and proper difficulty curve. My only personal complaint is WASD movement in isometric space, but I seem to always have trouble with that kind of stuff.
I totally share your concern with the WASD movement in isometric games. I personally prefer mouse input more than keyboard input when playing this game. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Awesome puzzle game with great pixel art and atmosphere. All the game mechanics complement each other very well. Few buttons were a bit hidden behind other objects and the difficulty got really hard for me at the end. Really good game nonetheless.
Yhea, last level may be a bit too much. There is a Hint section in the blogpost if anyone needs it. Happy that you liked it!
Great work! The only thing that annoys me is that I have to press forward for every stop instead of holding it :D But the rest is very good!
me too haha. Noticed it just now, that I had to play it through and through a couple of times when uploading. Thanks!
Great game, very complete in every aspect
thanks John. Glad you liked it.
Great art and mechanics! and very on theme as well! The design of the environments reminds me a lot of the old Mega Man Battle Network games. Its cool to see how much can be accomplished with a team! Great job!
For a bunch of strangers at the start of the jam, I think we worked pretty well together! Thanks for checking the game out!
I played a sympathetic story game after a long time.. and Damn it! U all have killed it.. Probably the best jam entry i played so far.. The comic in the starting and the dialogues are eyecatchy. The music is on Topnotch. I went till 3 levels till got killed by the ball.. I will play it again
Thanks for checking the game out! It's real nice having a super talented Art and Music team. (Everyone besides me is an artist LOL) Hope you can find out what happened to Photon at the end!
Great puzzle game! It kinda made me want to play Into the Breach for some reason 😅
Maybe the robots, the grid and the isometric perspective haha. Glad you liked it! (and the pixel art! haha)
Interesting puzzle mechanics + cute characters. Good job!
Thank you! Was a great learning experience. Cheers
Great atmospheric music! Really enjoyed the story and the style of art! 🥰
Thank you! glad you liked it!
Thank You! :D
Thank you ! I'm really glad you liked the music !
