The graphics could be improved, but I find this to be quite an innovative idea :)

Felt like movement and collisions were bugged. Good idea though.

I really dislike being critical but the idea is a copy of Tomas was alone

Interesting game.
Collision bug (slope)(Restart the game)
Nice animation/sprites graphics !

@Alaxe: The idea is actually The Lost Vikings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Vikings).

Nice shot. Even if the graphics could be improve, good game ! :)

Good idea, work some more on graphics part.

Quite a buggy game which meant I could not get the best Idea of how good it was. However I did like the idea!

@Capitals: You mind describing the bugs? I'm allowed to do bug fixes post submission.

Watched the stream, so it is fun to see the final product. I think that it turned out well, the concept is very nice and ties into the theme great.

A decent and proven idea, but the implementation needs a lot of work. The movement/control/platforming was fairly buggy, and I couldn't seem to clear a second level after finishing a first (like, the exit wouldn't work).

How do you beat a level? Hitting the end switch doesn't seem to do anything.

marekkpie 2014-08-27 03:42

@Robot Souls Games (and most other people with bug issues): There was a bug having to deal with the game not changing the required characters to who was currently on screen. I've uploaded a fix.

Nice game :) One thing though is that I encountered a bug where you fall continuously forever.

steve 2014-08-28 22:25

Nice idea, the sprites remind me of MST3K for some reason! The game seems to error out when trying to travel to the red/green level.

Bummer, Love cannot create canvas because of my OpenGL implementation :( I am running win7 64 bit with an intel graphics card

I liked the movement animations of the robots - very cute. The design of the central 'all three' level was solid too. The control scheme for Baz seemed a little weird though - probably just making W = Jump, without the unlocking would have worked better for me. I hit a few collision glitches too - managed to get Baz stuck beneath the ground :)

marekkpie 2014-08-29 15:44

@steve: I'll take a look at that tonight.

@pansapiens: Most of the collision bugs I've found ended up relating to the lifts. Is that were you ran into the problem?

conflictivelabs 2014-08-29 20:01

You totally nailed the "Lost Vikings" feel!
There are issues with collisions and platforms and the game crashed on me when I selected the middle-bottom level, though.

Level design is pretty solid and it could certainly benefit from a progression of sorts (where you are required to solve the levels that feature a single character first, then those with 2, and finally the one with the 3 of them).

Despite the issues, it's a really fun game! Kudos!

Great puzzle game! Really like the difficulty and the different combinations of the three characters.

The controls of Baz are a bit hard to master. And the red/green connection level crashes on my computer:
src/states/levels/level.lua:131 : attempt to index field 'exit' (a nil value)

But otherwise a really good game, would have loved to play more levels.

jprogman 2014-09-09 18:34

There seem to be only 6 playable worlds. The 7th one, represented by the gradient red to green bar, throws an error.
It's a nice idea, but the controls need to be more friendly. I don't like pressing both W and space to jump. :( Hopefully you can fix the bugs later on if you keep working on it. Nice work overall!

tobiasw 2014-09-15 15:44

I have to echo ZYXer - lower world doesn't work and the controls are a bit off. And my poor Foo got stuck in the brown center area in the last level :(

I like the idea and the robot designs though!
