I enjoyed this concept a lot. I think it's an interesting take on a top down dungeon crawler. I struggled to pass the first level! Appreciated the sound effects as that was good feedback to the player, since there's not much in the way of UI here. A good place to start with polish would be with some ambient music and some UI, but the core mechanic is very clear here. Nice work.

Very interesting idea! I like that you have to look after the critters AND yourself. A bit hard though, I think the speed upgrades are a must have.

honestly i would love a full polish of this concept. pushing around tiny robots everywhere is not something i expected to like but i definitely did. good job on making me want to care for these little robots!

Interesting game concept, I reach level 4. Didn't show difference after buying "don't think" upgrade. Need fullscreen mode. It's sad you didn't have time for music.

Nice game. I really like the navigating mechanism.

Guiding a herd of blind cats - the game :P Like the concept! Though I am usually not that great at timing/agility games, this one was pretty fun! Would have loved a few more puzzle aspects / different type of bots. But time is short. :)

The idea immediately made me think of guiding cats with a laser pointer. I'd love to see this released as a cat-herding game, it would be hilarious! I like the balance of spending your critters to make the other critters better, too. Well done!

Argh my critters are so slow and if I just move too fast, I lose them :( You got a great idea anyway and your game is really fun. The puzzles are hard enough and you are quickly punished if you don't bring all your critters with you. Good job!

Here's your 20th rating, so now you can get a score! I like this concept of guiding little robots around. I do wish that they were better at following though; even after a few upgrades, it feels really easy to lose some of them, especially in a group. And on top of that, it's really hard to move groups through narrow obstacles, so you gotta move one at a time, pretty slowly. The puzzle element of activating switches is a good idea though.

Nice work!
