Cool game!
Well done :D
Really nice game. Controlling the character feels great, very polished. Good job!
Really nice and polished game, I enjoyed it a lot! I think something you could consider is having all the instructions available to you for each level, so you could use the move right/move left/jump/... instruction for whichever command you want. I think that creates a lot more room for experimentation, and allows for multiple solutions which will improve the experience as there is room for replayability and each solution feels more "personal" to the player.
Btw, there is a bug in the instruction select screen where if you drag over multiple instructions it picks them up all at once, and the instructions can sometimes return to points just slightly off the "slots" they are supposed to be in.
Wow, I love this. I'm not sure if its just me, but I cant escape the options menu in the browser. Maybe I misread or didn't notice a button.
Reloading the level doesn't let me enter the commands again so I have to reload the page to try a different combination.
Other than that, the animations, the sound, the entire premise of the game is fantastic. Its well polished and it shows.
If I had to recommend one thing, I'd make the UI scalable. I know its a bit pointless for game jams, but It would help to clearly see the whole level when planning which instructions to use. You did great well done!
Dang, you are completely right about the options menu. You close it with ESC, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't work in the webplayer... maybe if you aren't in fullscreen?
By reloading do you mean hitting the "change" button? Pressing R will just reset with your current commands, but if you want to try a different combination there is a change button on the pause screen (ESC or P).
Got it, didn't realise there was a pause screen as ESC just backed me out. Thanks for pointing it out :)
Really awesome game and awesome idea!
Really nice execution of a cool idea!
It is a very well-crafted game. You can tell how much attention you gave to the details of movement, UI, graphics, and sound. And they all came out wonderfully.
I do feel that the overall complexity was a bit off=putting. I think that the pacing of introducing commands could have flowed better. Also, it may have been more thematic if you had less control over the AI. That may have lent more toward feeling like a collaboration.
Overall great work!
This games has a nice soundtrack, and good graphics. The topic kinda fits well with the game. I really liked the concept of dragging in commands to do certain things (for e.g. like move left to move the box to the left). However, i wish there was a more straight forward way to reste your inputs (for e.g. using a key instead of going to the menu and pressing "Change"). Sometimes when i went near a blue door it sometimes started to spaz out and fliker.
Overall, this is a pretty nice game.
Really good puzzles in this -cool idea and good use of the theme!! The art was good too -great job on this!! :D
nice puzzle
There is a paint where it gets very confusing, and there are so many things I need to give controls, that I can barely study the level.
This game was just plain awesome. Very simple, yet great and thought out gameplay, nice audio and cute visuals. Especially loved the way the little screen showed whatever the robot was currently doing xD
As pixelart fan, i love visual a lot ! solid concept, great execution, well done !
feel free to test mine :)
I absolutely love the art and the little animations! It's a great concept for a puzzle game! The only problem I found was that you can end up dragging more than one command at a time, but nothing that breaks the game! Keep up the great work ^^
What a good game! It's hard to believe that this game was made in only a weekend. I really like how the main character shows the input, it made it easier to remember what inputs did what. Great work!
great puzzles , very interesting concept!
Amazing idea and beautiful artwork!
But as far as I saw there is no way to reenter the AI Directions Menu if you input something wrong.
Or maybe I just missed it. Still, very good job!
There is a "change" button on the pause screen which will bring you back to the Directions Menu. Although if you are on the webplayer you need to hit P to pause, since ESC will just exit.
Ah, that makes sense. My bad :)
Very nice and polished game! Had some good puzzles!
Nice game! creative concept!
Really cool and creative concept! Very fun to play, reminds me a bit of baba is you, really cool! Good job!
