A fun 3D puzzle game in the style of Portal. Everything looked great visually, with the palette well integrated. The 3D lighting and shadows were there, and they fit within the allowed palette—check! The theme was also nicely incorporated with the 2 robots.

The robots were fun, well-designed, and full of character. The comm voice was spot-on, and the sound effects and background track added to the experience. The puzzles weren’t too difficult but still made me stop and think for a few seconds to figure out the solution. The ending was enjoyable too!

The only minor issue was with picking up the cubes—it wasn’t always precise and sometimes felt a bit wobbly, but it wasn’t a big problem. There’s definitely potential here for more puzzles, levels, and storylines.

A very well made jam entry—well done! 😊

I reallly liked this one. Im a big portal fan and I can see the inspiration. You fit the feel and the humor of portal very well, while at the same time bringing new ideas to the table. The ending was very tragic, the red robot made such a noble sacrifice and he will be dearly missed. I hope you make more!

Thank you very much for your feedback, we really appreciate your kind words!!!

Really fun and cute game! I really enjoyed deciphering what the drawings were telling me to do, it could probably be a game on its own. Everything in this game is well done. I just wish it had more levels. Good job to the team!

We initially planned to make 9 levels but there was not enough time (in the future we plan to expand the game and possibly release it on other platforms

This game remind me of Portal and like having to switch between side to complete tasks I got stuck at the green thing there a lot of room for expansion.  There look like there a bug with materiel on the main menu auto need some work.

Great music and idea. Could definitely fit some complex puzzles into this, or even make it a split-screen multiplayer game if you have the vision for it. I'm not sure if it's because of my browser, but grabbing blocks was a bit wonky? Also, I think it would be best if the swinging camera was removed from the main menu. Cool stuff otherwise though!

Pretty good and fun! Making a portal style game was also one of my first ideas but I went for something else instead.

In saw some colors though that were not really part of the palette, like the room was all kinds of grey for example.

As someone else already mentioned the music is quite repetitive. In the browser version the escape key is not really available and in my games I'm offering tab as an alternative to open the menu and adjust volume levels and such.

Developer(+1)

Yes, you’re right — in fullscreen mode, the escape key doesn’t work, but it does work if you double-click the escape key. Thank you for your feedback! In the next version, we’ll definitely make an alternative for the browser version. For now, you can either double-click escape or use the settings in the main menu.

The colors you’re seeing are likely due to post-processing, but it wasn’t intentional. Even when painting the robots, I used a palette with colors similar to UV mapping. We only used base materials from the palette throughout. I think, since it’s a 3D game, there might be a lot of light reflections, making the colors appear different.

Sorry about that!

Oh wow! Love this idea, really creative

Also 3D, not so common in this jam

Good job!

Fun game, feels pretty complete. Heavy portal influence i guess? which is not a bad thing.  Also good interpretation of the theme. It took me a while to figure out that the red robot should not jump on top of the other but that he needed to be picked up but thats a me propblem

Really funny game. It has a lot of potential for more complex puzzles.  Good job! If I could ask for 1 thing it would be an option menu to turn down the volume. The music was very loud for me and I had problems understanding the operator.
Dark ending tho... ;D

Developer

Thank you for your feedback,! if I'm not mistaken we have sound parameters in the game where you can lower the music volume.
Or you can also do this by pressing escape.

Ah ok when I pressed escape nothing happend. The game also went black after the ending. Maybe I had a minor hickup

This is definitely the most creative game I've played so far! I love the portal-esque design philosophy and for being a 3D physics based game jam entry, I'm really surprised that I didn't encounter any major physics glitches, so great job on whatever wizardry that took! My only complaint is that the music got quite repetitive, but that's not to say the song was bad, rather it would just sometimes take me a moment on the puzzles which would mean I heard the song loop a lot. Great work everyone involved!

Thank you for your rating! What did you think of our game's ending?

Submitted(+2)

Loved it! I feel like it could be a whole game on it's own

Once we get a good place at the game jam, we plan to continue developing the game and perhaps release it on Steam if possible.
