Found the instructions a bit confusing at first, but then, once I got the hang of it, it went smooth. The "dont run" instruction should be taken seriously, found my self into a whole a couple of times for speeding ahahha :D Great job :D

The art, music, and sound effects are all great. The game has a distinct atmosphere that I think works pretty well.

I like the idea of only having a set number of moves to reach the exit after finding the crystal. Although I'm a bit confused and feel like I'm not playing the game right. Is there a way to tell what object has the crystal in it?

Or is the idea that you're supposed to search randomly until you find the piece of furniture that does? I could see that maybe working in a frantic sort of way... but as it is now it felt a bit tedious to trial and error my way through each level. That could just be me not understanding something though!

Pretty fun when I was speeding through. Just wish the time was longer and I wasn't sent to the beginning when I run out of time.

Got stuck on the second level because I couldn't find the crystal. Wish the timer was longer for each level so you didn't have to start over so often.

It took me a little while to figure out what to do but after that it was a cool little puzzle-like game. I liked your pixel art too! Sometimes I felt like I would move into objects and it would look like I was vibrating in place. Otherwise cool submission!

The fact you have to start over again every time is really annoying. It basically becomes a memory game more than anything

I also got stuck at the second level because it quickly became too large to search the whole room in time until you get sent back to the beginning of the game. Other than that, it's a really great and polished game! Great job!

I loved the atmosphere and the graphics, but it seemed a bit difficult. I couldn't find any pattern of how the crystal was hidden, so I kept restarting, and as others have said before me it pretty much became a memory game. Besides that, very well polished, good job!

I really like the mood with the music and the art complements it well. The timer could have been a tiny bit longer but it was pretty intense racing through the levels :D Also kind of a personal wish but it'd be nice if the arrow keys also worked as it's more ergonomic for me (I actually finished the game with my hands crossed with driving WASD using my right hand :D)

So cute graphics and idea with robot! Nice!

Pleasant graphics and sound effects! Game intensively uses trial and error method and memorization - it is feels impossible to determine where to find crystals on the first try, so you touch every furniture and battery runs out quite often, which is followed by starting from the first level again. Nice entry, keep going!

Excellent work on the graphics and sound. I felt like the crystal being in an arbitrary spot made it a bit less fun as the first 'life' on a level was just finding it before dying due to time. Other than that, great job team!

I loved those graphics and enjoyed the mood. Fun project overall!
