Very fun simple game, amazing for the little time you had!

The gameplay was super addicting, I don’t know if there was an end but if I didn’t need to go to sleep I would have certainly found out by playing as long as I could. Also, the visuals are so cute and the music is so spot on for the vibe of it all that they give your entire game a sense of polish I didn’t expect from a jam project.

Also also, having to collaborate with the robot miners’ ai is a cool spin on the theme, especially when they get stuck in each other an you need to separate them (I don’t know if this was intentional, but it really made me feel like I was working with stupid robots ^-^). Being able to push the robots with the broom also allowed for some interesting strategies, like placing the broom robots in order to cover as much of the screen as possible.

In spirit of fairness I will report a few little bugs I encountered, just so you can improve this otherwise amazing game:

  • the pause menu doesn’t really pause, the game keeps going in the background
  • after having restarted from the pause menu both enemies and cheese don’t spawn anymore
  • some cheese pieces went outside the screen, and thus a cheese collector robot got stuck on the edge trying to reach them

But again, this are minor bugs: overall you did a really great job, congrats! <3

wow, thank you for this comprehensive review! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

To address a few of your comments:

I’m not sure what I was thinking with pause screen lol. Not gonna lie I forgot that you are supposed to PAUSE THE GAME when the game pauses haha! It was more a last minute exit menu.. will have to fix that!

When I found the robots got stuck on each other during development, that was such a good ‘it’s not a bug, it’s a feature’ moment! It is somewhat intentional as I knew about it but it was one of those things you don’t think of until it happens :p

I have no idea why no cheese or corruptions spawn after pausing. One of my friends had that issue when I showed them - another thing I’ve gotta fix! 

I didn’t know about the cheese going off screen - it makes sense grabberbots get stuck tryna go for them! There is a collision box to contain the player, but I guess I forgot to make the cheese collide with it.

there is no end to the game.. not yet at least! :)


Thanks for your review!
