Well done guys!

That was fun to play! Nice work!:)

Gameplay is boring, but easy to understand

raphy 2013-12-17 19:06

Hey I can't beat level 2... What are you supposed to do with the little bulldozer ? (Sorry I'm maybe stupid :S)

photon 2013-12-17 19:15

@Raphy: if you are talking about the level I think you are, the bulldozer is supposed to push the switch over the spikes for the green robot.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

blasmena 2013-12-17 20:27

quite charming, but, for some reason I couldn't use the little "tank" to press the switch on the other side of the spikes. It's very polished and well done.

photon 2013-12-17 22:04

@blasmena: you have to hold down Z to push; I was hoping the Z icon above it would help indicate that. Maybe not. :P

The reason you hold Z is so that you can move around it to get to the other side and then push it.

Pretty solid platformer. Would of loved some hidden collectibles to spice it up.

Well designed levels; it got very hard, but was very rewarding to complete a level. I didn't finish, but will come back later.

Great game. I really liked how you implemented the theme.
The three different robots with different abilities was very cool. I dont really have anything negative to say other than the energy maybe running a little fast.

Great job!

Hey Photon, Great job on the game. Its always fun to watch a game in development and then jump into a more finalized/ polish version..even if that takes place in just a few days! Thanks for the comments and rating and I will be turing it into a more full and polished release with a slight greater combat level and some more exploration and also sounds....Good luck!

Nicely designed puzzles. I really enjoyed this.

supermini_man 2013-12-19 01:52

Well done game, I liked each of the robot's skills.

sockfolder 2013-12-19 03:56

Wow someone made a game with the same title as mine =).
Nice puzzles. I especially liked the second to last one.

windwalkerranger 2013-12-19 14:38

Very nice game :) Reminds me of dos days. Great level designs. Couldn't get what the magnifying glass things were? Didn't play past level 6 though.

madball 2013-12-19 15:29

Nice and polished game, looks pretty finished. Levels were interesting. The timer made it a bit fussy though.
What is the last level about? I completed it without using bulldoser or pushing blocks.

photon 2013-12-19 15:37

@Madball:

I'd be interested to know how. I suspect it has something to do with the UFO dude.

hyde-wyvern 2013-12-20 04:08

There are no flaws in this entry, amazing puzzle development and extremely fun! It's a bit of a hard time to figure our how to use the second robot but once you get that everything is perfect. Amazing Job :D

rojo 2013-12-20 13:30

Nice use of theme, and awesome level design!

warzone 2013-12-20 15:38

Really great game! Graphics are great! Gameplay is fun! And the levels are addictive. The teamwork between you and max was flawless! Great job! And good luck!

symmeteer 2013-12-20 23:25

Not bad, and nice graphics! I got confused sometimes about the what the three robots did, but I got the hang of it eventually.

kibertoad 2013-12-20 23:48

Not bad.

jprogman 2013-12-21 06:58

Very smart game you got there!

sclark39 2013-12-21 21:01

Cool game, I like the mechanics. The puzzles are interesting and the movement, while it could be improved, still feels very good. I didn't understand at first that all the robots shared the power bar. Some sort of animation to indicate the passing of the charge could help to convey this better through the gameplay.

somepx 2013-12-22 09:33

So cute and well done! Music is adorable :D

bradleysmith 2013-12-27 05:11

Really neat and polished little puzzle game, rated highly. :)

mmickyman 2013-12-27 17:25

Maybe I'm slow, but the energy bar runs out very fast !
Good way to use the theme.

Tips : The bulldozer is not intuitive to use at first, you have to hold X to use it.

jupiter_hadley 2013-12-29 19:21

This little guy was SOOO CUTE!! Nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/IHhkgdPuakc

zener 2013-12-31 09:24

That's a cool game! Looks very polished, congrats!

madball 2013-12-31 14:03

@Photon: I don't remember the level exactly, but I used UFO to drag the jumper closer to buttons, then I dragged them to the jumper and pushed them with it.
