A very cute idea even on its own, and I really appreciate it in context of the theme. Just wish there were a little more to it! Love the look of the level, as well.

Awesome job!! Love the style, the fact the character walks towards where you click. The art style, the puzzle element and the whole game theme. I love the ram idea. Great job!!!

Cool concept. Couldn't figure out how to win the level though. The graphics and sound design were amazing!

vfabien21 2018-08-14 09:53

Whaou. I am stunned by the graphics and movement ! Also the concept looks brillant. I hope that you'll keep working on it and create nice levels ! Keep us informed ;)

mateusboga 2018-08-14 10:20

This is a really cool game! Only negative is that there isn't more to it. This deserves more puzzles!

odin 2018-08-14 10:30

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, unfortunately, I did not have time to do a complete level ...

Beautiful concept demo. You really focused on polishing core mechanics and sacrificed everything else, that was smart call. Would definitely like to play more levels.

zenris 2018-08-14 10:55

I like how you used the theme. The graphics are nice and the music was good. You should maybe add a main menu with some info about the game. To bad there was only one level, but it shows of the concept very well. I can see this be good little puzzle game if you had many other level and more skills to use.

I hope you will keep working on it.

It's such a shame you did not have the time to make it into a full game because the potential is real and the execution is fantastic. I especially liked the way the camera moves automatically in a place that makes sense, and the quality of the graphics that are a true pleasure to the eye. Good job!

limered 2018-08-14 12:20

Concept is awesome. I really would like to play a full game of this. Graphics look really nice.

elven 2018-08-14 12:22

When I play low resolution I can't see the Finish button :)

paruthidotexe 2018-08-14 13:14

Great concept with cool looking art and with nice music.. but unable to complete the level ;-(

flower 2018-08-14 15:07

Amazing!)

gregklein 2018-08-14 15:07

Game could use a tutorial. I opened the door but could not figure out what to do after that. Controls are a bit frustrating. Sometimes when clicking that box in the first level, the robot will run downstairs instead of going to the box where I clicked.

Great graphics and I'm sure the game is fun once it is figured out.

biebras 2018-08-14 15:12

Great game, great graphics, great idea, but i could't figure out how to win level. Need more explanation. Anyways great job.

blueblu 2018-08-14 15:13

I CAN'T WIN THE LEVEL :'( but it looks great and it's a really innovative mechanic

mrhankey 2018-08-14 15:14

SAM is absolutely adorable! Overall I got a very polished feel from this. Could easily be turned into a proper puzzle game. Only concern as mentioned before is low resolution support.

odin 2018-08-14 15:18

I will work on this problem of low resolution and solve the problem, Still sorry for the incomplete level, I will create a post jam version that will contain more things

2018-08-14 15:56

We definitely need a mobile version !

lonehearts 2018-08-14 16:46

It looks really great, the concept is really good too. It's true that it lack level but it can become something really good

kaiomoi 2018-08-14 16:50

Good job, it's really good starting. the game need more interactive and level. the idea is really great. =D

bungalow 2018-08-15 07:15

You clearly put a lot of time and effort into the outstanding graphics that are in this demo, I hope you continue this even when the jam is over because it has a lot of promise!

keyurrana 2018-08-15 08:36

Very cool concept. Really nice graphics. It has a potential to be a very good puzzle game. I would love to see a post jam version with more levels :).

monkosum 2018-08-15 09:50

besides from the missing ending, the fact, that this game has only 1 level, and that the quit-button looks a bit poor, this seems like a full game, and i love the game. the idea is very interessting, the level is well made (it reminds me a bit of captain toad: treasure tracker), the game looks really good, and it's just a really good puzzle game. please make new levels and devolop this into a full game. don't miss this opportunity, you have a really good base game here!

virtual-window 2018-08-15 09:55

Awesome concept. Love the mood and gameplay. Well done. Please make more levels =P

themarioga 2018-08-15 10:05

The concept and the art are amazing. I hope you do more levels in the future. Good job!

guladam 2018-08-15 10:11

Brilliant concept, looks very promising. :)

The graphics are great, the camera is smooth, the pathfinding works really well. ^_^

It would be so nice to play complete levels, awesome job!

hauo 2018-08-15 10:20

A very nice concept. The style is spot on, and love the Diorama like level presentation. It really helps with the auto camera to create a nice, calm feel of a puzzler. The theme is represented well with the disk-space of the robot, a nice take! I like where this is going, as you mentioned its only a prototype, and with only one level there is only that much to say more then that it has a lot of potential for some awesome challenges.

Some thoughts however: The entire puzzle design so far is based on that the player having to walk A LOT between terminals to change to the correct load-out. This has a risk of becoming a rather tedious task, and start to feel likes its all about "just" back-tracking. It is therefore necessary that the controls and movement of the character is spot on, and that the actions feel "quick" to preform. However, at the moment, its all bit iffy. Sometimes I felt the robot almost got "stuck" or at-least had issues going where i clicked, and (for me at-least) the menu-buttons where very off. For some reason the hit-boxes where not aligned correctly with the visuals, and had to press multiple times to get them to trigger.

Also would have loved to see a bit more character to the level design. Like blinking lights, smoke/steam coming out of a pipe etc. Something to make it more a joy not just to play, but to look at.

Hope to try it again with more level! Cheers.

Hello, thank you for these feedbacks. We had talked about a lot of these improvements during the prototype design phase, but we decided to focus on the core gameplay and the overall feeling of the game. Now we're going to have plenty of time to improve the concept, we're going to keep in touch !

simogecko 2018-08-15 15:28

Great concept, it was very enjoyable solving this little puzzle, and the graphics and controls were super! You could have added a simple win message when you reach the final part of the puzzle, and the robot can intersect with some walls, but with a few more programs and levels this would be a polished fun game!

artish357 2018-08-16 20:08

Really liked the concept, but i feel like there's just not enough content in the game, hope you will continue to explore it in the future!

hyprgloo 2018-08-17 00:00

This is a really sweet prototype. The sounds are incredible. The visuals are equally so. The concept has a really nice flow to it, it'd be cool if there were memory upgrades and more complicated program management. I really wish there was more depth, this is an idea that is begging to be expanded! Solid entry overall!

icxon 2018-08-17 04:06

Me, thinking there is a solution for this puzzle:

rend 2018-08-17 08:30

Impressive aesthetics, it has a super mood. The puzzle is simple, yet very well put. And the use of the theme is clever. A nice little entry, congrats!

tybantarnusa 2018-08-17 09:43

You absolutely have to continue making this game into a full game! Great job!

leeloo 2018-08-17 16:12

Really nice, I love the concept and it is a nice interpretation for the theme. it is a shame I couldn't figure out how to complete the level, I would like to see more.

n-feofentov 2018-08-17 19:36

Good idea, nice approach to the theme, great visuals. It's pity it is so short ( Still, good job!

stevenjmiller 2018-08-18 12:55

I love the concept! I would love to see more.
