#winning :grinning:. I like turn based games but when I run out of power I can't move and there is no way to regenerate it so I had to let the CPU kill me to get the last plant.

Took about ~7 minutes. Graphics fit together well. The level select was mighty interesting :).
For me the gameplay didn't work out to be fun, but I think it is only a small tweak away from being pretty fun level-design based puzzler. I initially played the first level in ignorance of the recharge mechanic, and without that mechanic the game instead became about trying many different paths with different timing and getting the plants in a different order in order to try to beat it without ever hitting zero energy or needing to recharge or needing to stay on a tile (have to always be moving.) After I read the help page and learned you could just hit E to recharge, it removed the challenge.
Nice gotcha on the last level with the robots who have a 4-square cycle such that there is only a one-turn window in the cycle to get through the doorway.
