Very nicely done! Simple concept that goes with the theme of collaborating with AI. Nicely puts a spin on a classic genre. The ticks being synchronized with the music is a very nice fun touch, and the ending is a nice little surprise too ;)
Just some minor critiques
- FTUE: it took me a while to understand how to hand the pieces to the robot.
- Gameplay: a bit too easy (I think I failed to kill the boss and still won)
- Some basic UI (intro screen/menu with some settings/credits) would add polish.
Definitely one of the strongest submissions I've played so far. A lot of nice things going on here. Well done!

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback.
We're definitely aware of the shortcomings of the game, all of which we will obviously blame on time constraints; after all, this game was literally submitted in the last minute, as we were still dealing with bugs until then.
We would have definitely added a menu and made everything clearer if given more time; perhaps we overscoped a bit though. As far as the gameplay being too easy goes—I personally definitely prefer difficult games, so I wasn't sure how to approach it here; I decided to follow Jonas' advice on making the game easy to finish so everyone can experience it fully in the limited time they can spend on playing one game. The final boss deals 5 damage to you instead of 1 as a balancing factor though.
