Nice retro game!!
Super cool game! loved the minimal mechanics which is getting more complicated with time! cute puzzle game that I can easily spend hours on! I would allow for resetting with the dialog included as well, for cases where the dialog is important for understanding the level. Awesome job!
Really cool little game!
Just finished!

I found the symbols a bit hard to read, maybe so color or shape changes would help? For the mechnics themselves it can feel a bit overwhelming (as in OMG do I have to compute all the options), which I can imagine might put some people off, but when you actually try the puzzles are quite fun.
Overall a very nice entry!
Thank you all for your kind words!
really polished and finished feeling! fun puzzles and excellent characters
@ethernal-tech @shiiigear @uncleporkchop Thanks for playing!
@christian-zommerfelds Thank you! Yeah, visual readability was something we were struggling with in pico-8, given such strict colour and space. Will definitely readjust next time!
@bmanstudio Good point about resetting dialogue. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!
Wow this is really good!
The sprites are cute, the writing is fun, and the puzzles have a nice pace that makes me think a bit more each puzzle, so I'm not sent off a difficulty cliff or turned away by overly complex puzzles.
The only thing I missed was a reminder on which clients needed to be delivered to in order. That threw me for a loop in one of the puzzles.
Great work!
I like the art style!
What a great game, this was really fun!
I loved the art style (even though even on fullscreen it was sometimes hard to decipher with my bad eyes :eyeglasses:) and the mood was on point. The game is very polished, and the gameplay very fun. The progression curve was also very nicely done.
Congratulations !
I really loved the retro feeling of the game thanks to graphics and sound, the falling snow and little names for every location were a nice touch, and the gameplay itself is fantastic! I love puzzle games and this one was really well made. Even at levels when at first I would get stuck and reset, the solution would still come after a few tries :) The idea fits the theme perfectly, the level of difficulty is well maintained (at least in my opinion), and a bit of dialogue makes it more engaging. I am glad I played this game!
Very nice puzzle game!
The retro visual is amazing. I thought the colors of the deliveries near the characters were a bit too similar (for the blocky thing and the battery, color blindness sucks) but the icons at the right saved me.
The music is beautiful and the sound effects are very fitting, well done.
The gameplay is simple but really neat. I like the progression in difficulty through levels. Though I admit I gave up on the "Only once" one, couldn't figure it for the life of me.
Congratulations!
The character writing was great, I think that was the main thing i looked forward to after beating a puzzle. I only wish our robot had a bit more to say besides [excited chirping].
I've got nothing else to criticize here, this was really fun all around.
@fireslash Thanks for playing! The deliveries don't need to be in order per se -- just that they'll only take items off the top of your stack (and the order of the items matter).
@obe-dot @samoussa @kanity @niz @wolfier Thank you! JDeeDubs did all of the artwork, music, and writing, so huge props to him for all of that. We went back and forth a bit on how difficult the level progression would be, so I'm glad that the final difficulty wasn't _too_ bad.
I actually found the second to last level harder then the last one cause i could segregate the last level into parts. The second to last level is all one big thing.
@wolfier Interesting! Our playtesters all mentioned that the last level was sort of scary so I made the two levels before it as a way of easing you into larger puzzles. I might have gone overboard a bit with them haha. Will keep in mind for next time. Thank you for the feedback!
I really like the mini art style of this game. The overall art style is also very cohesive. I really want to pet the little robot. Thanks to the development team for bringing us such a wonderful game.
I drew a simple picture to express my love!

Cute little puzzle game. I appreciate the generous learning curve, only adding a new mechanic every level. Cute graphics and sound. Excellent work!
@yuriscat WOW!!!! That's incredibly cute!! Thank you so much!!!
@digital-bacon Thanks for playing!
@ordineu You're welcome, it's an honor to know that you like my artwork. Wishing you a wonderful day!
