Nice angle on the theme. Nice little puzzle game💪!

GAMEPLAY
Intro is cool with unique style. And I heard the Wilhelm scream I think😁. Small puzzles, but fun to discover more and more. The robot's journey to consciousness is a well found concept and interesting.

GRAPHICS/ART
Art style looks cool and also the ability to see more and more is well done.

AUDIO
Peaceful music which suits the art style and the kind of game. Also some effects that give some extra.

THEME
Interesting angle and well done.

All in all a good concept and basis for perhaps a further development in terms of the game😀!.

This is very cool, nice art, great approach to the theme. The gameplay isn't 'fun' but it could be with some iteration. Sadly I hit a bug where I couldn't get off the 2nd elevator.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Good job, I really liked the presentation of the game with animations. In one case I put the stick in the wrong place and came back then I couldn't continue, I think there should be a place for me to kill myself to start again.

Didn't really like how hard it was to see anything

thank you for your feedback! That’s the point of the game, the darkness represents Robert’s newly found sentience, and the game gets significantly brighter as you play ☺️
