the puzzle mechanic is super fun! it requires a lot of remembering it, but i'd never played anything with quite the same system and it was really well done.

It took a little while to get the hang of it, but the idea of the game is so great! It succeeds very well in being a puzzle game, and all the other elements match with the game too. I think polishing the game visually and making the movement a little smoother would probably be all thats needed!
I really like the puzzle mechanic. Its unique and fun once you get a hang of it
I loved this puzzle mechanic! It looks simple but you need to calculate every single step.
Graphics and Music are great :smile:
Nice work!
Brilliant idea! It may take a while to get into it, but it's actually a great and well executed puzzle mechanic. I also really liked the music, it's very immersive!
I was surprised at how quickly this got hard! Perhaps I just have a terrible memory.
Great job on the puzzles! I couldn't get past level 11, but I had a lot of fun getting there.
Such a cool mechanic, took me a couple rounds to figure out what was going on.
I got stuck at level 11 too! Very interesting mechanic, the challenge was good fun.
Awesome job! Really unique and very addicting puzzle mechanic. It got pretty difficult after a few levels but I personally enjoyed the challenge.
Definitely an interesting mechanic, retrying levels was frustrating sluggish at times though due to action replaying times.
Really nice mechanic, like how you had considered putting limits in to make sure players knew that puzzles didn't need that many moves to complete. Music is very atmospheric and the art is like a lost Atlantis.
Everyone likes the puzzle mechanic. I too like the puzzle mechanic. Reminds me of Mechs vs Minions.
Wow, that's a really cool idea! And the art is really cool. Great game!
I finished it! The level 11 is a lot harder than the previous ones. I had a hard time on both level 11 and 14.
Great idea, I had a lot of fun playing it.
Really loved this idea. Great idea to include the history on the right hand bar too, that helped a lot! Great work
Very cool game! I like this programming mechanics. Great job!
I don't play a lot of puzzle games but the mechanics used here is quite novel (I haven't come across anything similar before). I've managed to reach up to leevl 12 and still scratching my head around it.
Didn't realise the game had any audio until I read through the comments; default audio slider setting had the music muted even though it looked as though it should be playing. Sliding it a bit higher, I was able to hear the music, an nice calming loop although until it finishes playing
If I were to point out an area for improvement (I'm realy nit picking here, the game is really good given the time frame it was made in) would probably to work on the player sprite and UI buttons a bit more so that it's a bit more consistent with the whole underwater theme.
Overall, it's a good entry, well done.
@100th-coin @blanky-and-rocket @jeanbon Glad you guys enjoyed it. I actually loosely based level 11 off the konami code if you would like to try again. Thanks for playing
@chimp Thanks for the feedback on the audio apparently I forgot to change the audio prefab so it has been fixed now. Glad you enjoyed the game even if you got stuck.
Fun game! Very challenging, but entertainingly so!
nice puzzle game! great job :D
This was pretty fun, the 8th level was pretty dang difficult!
Interesting idea, good job
Wow, really innovative puzzle mechanic. I could see this mechanic carrying a full game. Got to level 7. Really really innovative and interesting!
Intersting puzzle game, you have to plan your moves from the beginning of the level, I like it.
Great puzzle game! The core mechanic is easy to understand and great to play with.
Some puzzles were better designed than other (I enjoyed best the small smart ones rather than the big ones trying to represent something and giving you too much room), but all in all the game was really enjoyable! I played up to the "momentum" puzzle, level 10 I think. Does the game contains many more levels or was I close to the end?
Thanks for the game I had fun 💕
@doot there are 14 levels so you got pretty far. There is a level select if you want to skip or just see the other levels. Thanks for playing.
Really awesome game!! The concept and puzzles is brilliant, don't think I've seen something like it before. The game looks great and very fun to play!! Amazing work!
It much more fun to play whit this mechanic, rather than "coding" a path to your robot in other games. Good Job!
Good job with this entry. Really hard to play but fun once you grasp the concept. This must be really difficult to design the levels and especially to scale. I liked how experimental this game felt, and I enjoyed going through the levels.
Very interesting puzzle mechanics. Never seen anything quite like it.
This is an engenius puzzle mechanic. I invested so much time into this game, just phenomenal. I also like how the robot is an edgy teenage boi
Favorite game yet, awesome awesome job. Would love to see a full version of this.
Waw, nice puzzles! The mechanics are cool! Nice graphs and music as well :)
Good and strategic. Like the music and the art together. Nice mood.
Very neat idea. Great job!
Congratulations on the game, very good and challenging mechanics, I believe that you have a rough stone in your hands, and with the correct polishing it can result in good fruits, think about investing in the visual part and will have great results, a big hug to everyone, and I look forward to your ratings regarding my game.
Very good idea I really enjoyed the game. I like the challenging mechanics and chill music. Very good job guys.
This puzzle mechanic is pretty innovative! I loved thinking through my steps backwards to figure each room out. It was also fun to see how horribly wrong your queued-up moves would go, haha! Here is the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003973150
@jake-marks Thank you for the vod. It was fun watching you try on stream.
Really good entry. I always admire those who can create these puzzle type games. They're so clever.
Great puzzle-concept, never saw this idea before. I surrendered at level 11, it just became too hard for me on a Sunday evening. Would be cool, if you showed the last moves on game over, so you can easily compare your new strategy to the old one. Altogether very solid entry!
Really interesting puzzles emerged from a relatively simple mechanic. Fitting music and art style helped create a good atmosphere. That last one was a really tough nut to crack, but since it's name was the same as the game I had a feeling it was the last and that gave enough motivation to actually beat it!
@nonumbersgames Glad you enjoyed it and are part of the few that have completed the game.
