Well this cleaning robot could be a temporary upgrade after Blocku gets a special item on the map (just like upgrades in runner games like subway serfer, etc.)

Also, my latest thoughts says you could make an experiment with time delay between click and placing a block. Right now you can hold mouse click in front of Blocku and make him never fall at any speed, as well as slowly moving mouse up and down in the process. Forcing player to actually draw a path in advance may be an interesting thing (but it needs testing)

Hey, about the cleaning robot being a temp upgrade, the idea can also be tested to see what it implies inside the game, but I think indeed that having this being temporary would be more sweated to our game 🤔

About the delay between clicking and placing a block tho, we've tried it during development and it wasn't as fun as just drawing a continuous line. Basically, to avoid the player being overpowered we had 2 main ideas:

1. Player has a limited amount of blocks and must use them wisely

2. Block placement has a cooldown so the player makes sure he doesn't overdo this.

Solution 2 nerfed a lot the player and took away a little bit of the fun of the game so we decided to stick with 1. According to your comment tho, this still needs some balancing. A lot of comments suggested having fewer blocks to make the player use them more wisely. I think we're going to try this one and see how well it holds up! 👏
