Nice puzzle game! Great that you had to figure something out to advance. I enjoyed it. I hope next time you will get your ice cream! :D

I'm stuck on this level. Do I miss something?

I enjoyed playing it. I guess I would play thorough if I haven't stuck. I liked how you made different weight for the Mechas. Overall great entry!
Took me a bit to realise that I could stand on other robots once they had fallen in.
@sli I should have explained this in some tutorial, but you can walk on the fallen mechas. Thanks for the feedback!
@nicekot Thx for the feedback!
@jon-nova I see. Yeah it makes sense now. Maybe you could make a transitional level with only one platform and two mechas and make it super obvious that one has to die. Or even something extreme as 4 mechas and 1 platform. Anyway great puzzle :)
Simple but cool puzzle =)
I want extra large ice cream D:
Really nice, enjoyed it very much :heart: Only the stand-on-robot mechanics took me a while to understand. Sweet entry!
Good job, fun little puzzle game.
I really enjoyed this, I think I accidentally stood on a mech in one of the earlier levels so I understood that as soon as I needed to use it so luckily I didnt hit the roadblock some of the others did. The only thing I think I'd offer as feedback is that it would be very nice if the different levels of ice cracking were a bit more distinctive, since it was kind of hard to tell how much weight they were still able to bear. Such a cool take on the unstable theme though, I've seen a few games so far that deal with "unstable ice" and this one does it in such a clever and well thought out way! Great game!
Great puzzle game. Some of the mechanics were tough to figure out on my own, but not at all impossible (there are plenty of good hints like the number of platforms being smaller than the number of robots).
Fun game! The length was great and puzzles were nice, it felt like a complete experience. It was fun to figure things out, personally I liked that had to think outside the box for a solution instead of having a tutorial :smiley:
My suggestions for the next one would be:
- Keep an outline on the selected mech so it's clear who you are controlling - Make the different stages of ice slightly more visible. As it is now, it was sometimes hard to understand the board state at a glance.
What I would keep:
- Short length and simple controls. - Cool look of the mechs.
Love the look of the mechs! Real interesting designs
I found a critical bug - when just one free slot remains and a mech is standing on a slot right next to it, the mech can just step on the free slot, like so, and it counts as a win.

Overall, I liked this game. It lacks some polish, like music or animations, but it's fun. The puzzles are clever and easy to digest. Other than that, I agree with the comments - keep the outline on the selected mech (also, maybe add switching between mechs by keyboard?) and add more visual variety beteen the cracks, that's about it. Good job :)
Cute little puzzle! Although I wasn't able to advance until I read here about standing on sunk mechas. A bit of music would also be appreciated.
Nice puzzles! The game was fun, I would love to see more levels, especially more challenging ones. The one thing that made it considerably less enjoyable than it could have been was how hard it was to see the difference between the ice breaking states. Good job!
Nice puzzle game! Though I can't help but feel like some mechanics are left unexplained to the player and the difficulty of each puzzle ramps up too quickly. I had a bit of trouble discerning what level of breakage ice was but once I got it, it was fine. Props for the mechanic of using robots are platforms.
Nice work!
A nice puzzle game! The puzzles were fun to do but I had trouble judging the stability of the ice which led to a bit of trial and error on some stages. Otherwise great! :D
Fun puzzle game, would love to see more levels and different elements being introduced should you work on this more. Great job!
