I think i made it almost to the end but the controls are way too confusing. Awesome graphics and dialogues thou. The concept is really nice. For anyone wondering about controls theres a help menu I found.

Couldn't get past the first level unfortunately because of the wonky controls. It feels like IJKL should have just coordinated to direct movements for the second robot instead of the weird rotation.
Thanks for the feedback. The control system did not come out great :) I was wiped out after submission so the page did not get a lot of love.
Ill update the page with some actual instructions
The graphics are great! I didn't make it that far because I was confused about managing the bars to avoid meltdown, and the controls of both the robots, but the graphics are really clean, the theme works and the puzzle aspect seems cool, so well done.
Good Game)
Cool game. I like the graphics and it was funny to play. Only the controls was a bit hard.
Can't get past level 1 because of confusing controls. also are the rotate buttons meant to be q and e? i pressed r and nothing happened while pressing e flips the red robot direction. Graphics looks neat though.
Nice puzzle concept! The controls were a bit too hard to figure out under time pressure, leading to frustration. Perhaps a non-timed puzzle first to get people used to the controls would be nice? Love the little intro chat, sets the stage well.
Sorry about the difficult controls, really struggled to find a good way to control both robots. Ill add some more details to the page.
I really like the artwork. The controls feel a bit wonky but overall good concept. Would like to see you where you guys could take this from here.
Very interesting mechanics. Thanks for the great entry!
Controls：I thought I was figuring it out, then I lost… Graphics：This competition only has a short creative time【taking this into consideration】 I think the Graphics is great
Nice game, controls were a little iffy, but overall a great LD entry :raised_hands:
Great game! Enjoyed playing it. Will give it another go after edits are enabled on LD!
I think the puzzle concept here was quite good, but the complexity ended up getting in the way. IMO, there are too many controls - move, rotate, shoot, push/pull buddy, rotate buddy. That's 5 things, and a lot of buttons, which end up making things a bit difficult. There are also a lot of bars - I would try to bring things down to just one. Like, maybe a single bar which goes up when your buddy is near and down when you move. If it goes over you melt, if it hits zero you can't move (also dead). The discrete bits of the game get in the way of puzzling also, maybe it would work better if the bars where in discrete chunks that only changed when you made a move (so, turn-based, basically). Still though, I really like the idea, and I think if it were boiled down just a bit it could be really great.
Really cool game! I love the premise and the art. Controls are a bit difficult, but the presentation is awesome
I'd pretty much echo some of the other comments here - you've got a really interesting puzzle game here but it's hard to mentally map the action you want to the control you need to press to do that action. The graphics are really nice too and there's definitely a lot of good design space for future levels. Nice work!
good game, but the controls are so confusing :/
Do you think that the players will understand clearly the tutorial on first level????? Definitely not!!!! Don't worry it is a process of learning,
You might think it is easy for you because you played the game more than 10 times atleast!! You shouldn't except that the players will understand the game with ease
But I really love the art style of the game!!!!!
Overall, I think this game is pretty cool plus the graphics were very nice. The only thing that I didn't really understand were the controls.
I really love your art! I think this game is better for theme "Joined together", not "Unstable". Thank you for the experience!
Your game is excellent, you gave me unforgettable emotions!
Great art and dialogue. Unfortunately I didn't get very far because of the controls and difficulty.
