Nice idea, but controls are very difficult and not very intuitive - i lost commands several times and had to go around again to get them back. I guess "back" button would be nice, but then it wouldn't be "Two-button controls" :(
Overall - good idea, art is not beautiful, but fits very nice :)
Interesting mechanics with the dropable skills. Not very intuitive though, maybe better visual feedback or even easier tutorial levels would help
That was really great, best game I've seen yet. Really polished, clever mechanic. My only real criticism is that it's too short! Some more levels would be nice.
I suppose you could easily add more, and then you'd have a finished game.
One other thing is that I would often mistime when trying to go through an open door, resulting in my colliding with it and turning instead.
cool idea. checkpoint would be nice.
Welp... I try to launch the game and it just crashes instantly. I see a flicker of the window opening and closing rapidly, but the game simply doesn't play.
(Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS )
Good idea about programmable robot and limited command slots for it, like it.
This is a cool game, although I'm afraid I can't even figure out the second level! :D
Cool puzzle idea! The mechanic was really satisfying once I got the hang of it. The one annoying bit is trying to get through a door that's just been opened, and bumping into it, wasting some time.
Other than that, good, well-polished puzzle game!
I'm not sure what's up with the Linux build and 14.04, but I'll keep it up in case it works for other people. However I've just tested the WebGL version under Linux Mint (based off Ubuntu 14.04) and it works fine.
Really great take on the theme. Feel like the swapping UI could be clearer but it works once you get used to it. I could see lots of interesting puzzles or even a level editor for this. Great job!
Puzzles were pretty difficult but I really like the control card mechanics plus great use of the theme.
Pretty cool idea! I blew up the robot.
i agree with other users. Very nice idea, but the game comes too hard too soon ^^
Very cool concept; nice very graphics; good sound effects and non-repetitive audio;
However, getting through the door was extremely difficult.
Good use of the theme, and nice hard puzzles. The drop mechanic is a bit annoying and it is easy to mess up, but that is restricted by the two button controls. Great entry!
A difficult puzzler. For compo-level visuals this is pretty good, but I don't have the patience for most puzzlers unless they are very forgiving… which is why my entry is a snowball rolling down a hill :)
Anyway, looks like a good effort but I admit I stopped halfway the first real level.
The game was cool, but the swapping/dropping part felt a little off, I couldn't ever tell what the S key was going to do until I pressed it.
It's an interesting and different puzzle game but level 2 is a total bear -- too easy to end up in a permanent fail state. I felt pretty committed to solve it though, which is a good thing!
Cool idea but the controls are weird and hard to understand at first. Kind of frustrating, maybe a better level planification to give the player an appropiate difficult curve
