Tiny bots

Very cute game! I completed all but two levels with just one bot and that definitely seemed like the most fun version of the game.

On those other 2 levels, the one where you had to pull a thing I and it seemed like a fine introduction to the mechanic. Then we get to that one level. There was one level where I am pretty sure you were supposed to make a bridge across a long gap. I must not have understood a mechanic because this seemed impossible. I managed to get past it by discovering a bug. If you self destruct enough/fast enough you end up summoning more than one bot at once. Eventually I had like 200 bots out and could walk across their corpses to victory. Note, this also created a lot of lag, do not recommend.

That one level aside, the game was fun and the art was cute!

very good idea to use more than one character with bots, very entertaining game!

COOL GAME

Somehow the prompts remind me of Portals characters, not sure why!

Really enjoyed the puzzles even though the big level with only one swing and several characters got the best of me.

Liked the art and in particular the hook mechanic! The long jump was quite tough but managed to get through, in a later level however I got stuck and frustrated too much to finish.

Overall nice entry though :)

Awesome game idea with the circuit boards! I really liked it! In one of the levels, I fell off the map, but the game didn't restart. test1.png

Cool game core mechanic with hooks. Sometimes i can complete levels unless what tutorial told me, but that fine when you can find your own play path. It has cool bug when i can overspawn bots and control ~10-15 of them)

@gaverion I tried that bug, it's funny :D

arstotzk 2024-10-07 16:31

@elykx Yeah, i didn't add death collider in the pit... You can press "q" to destroy last bot. After that new bot respawn

Great idea with bots inside some machines. Tutorial about using second hook appear after i actually used it. Don't unerstand how to pass level with 2 boxes connected by rope

Very exciting game! I liked the art and especially the hook mechanics. Sometimes the levels seemed difficult, but it only added interest. The game turned out to be very atmospheric, it's nice to play. Great job for the jam! 👏

Interesting idea but sometimes when I fell off the map I couldn't do anything

xsil 2024-10-08 10:41

Good idea, but controls felt slightly unresponsive for me

heat 2024-10-08 10:56

It's a very cool game, especially if you decide to do it like I did, only 1 bot and only red rope, surprisingly but that's how I got through all the levels!

oduvan 2024-10-08 11:23

The hook mechanics were really fun to play with. I did run into a couple of moments where things didn’t work as expected, but it was awesome finding my own way to solve some levels. Great job overall!

Greetings from the spider team here, the idea felt quite innovative and the mood construction was just on point. It's really fun trying to come up with solid structures with ropes and bots. Overall it's an interesting cool game.

Хорошая головоломка/платформер. Управление не слишком отзывчивое и переключаться между роботами нельзя...но в целом неплохо.

kirass 2024-10-08 17:36

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

ildr82 2024-10-09 01:18

Not a bad puzzle platformer

franklyn01 2024-10-09 15:24

Really nice idea and mechanics! Some kind of indication if a surface is in range of the hook would be great. Also great job on the music :)

nickhellquist 2024-10-09 22:48

Very cool mechanics that gives it a good puzzle base, and makes it fun to play. And the music is 10/10, loved the track. Suited the robot aesthetics very well! GJ :)

Let’s go smash the level with the bros! (I hacked those bots) nanoooo222.png

daff 2024-10-10 17:24

Great mechanics, interesting levels with different ways to complete them. I enjoyed it! It was fun! Oh, and nanobots, of course, that’s cool! We have them too, just smaller ones.

arstotzk 2024-10-11 12:06

Hey, I fixed some problems: Fix multiply spawn bots when fast press destroy button; Fix not full resolution on web version; Fix long time movable box at level 6; Fix hook loockation grabbing place at the middle of room at level 9; Fix death collider at all pits on levels.

Such a cool concept idea! I liked it from the get go, as it was very similar to an idea I had at the start of the jam, but related to a mycelial network. That being said, this is much better than what I could have hoped to achieve!

A very, very solid entry, incredibly fun as well!

This game is awesome! The bridge level is genius, and was so fun to solve.

bradur 2024-10-22 11:27

I think the music is great. But it doesn't feel like it's made for this game. There's a lot going on in this game and there's an impressive amount of mechanics at play. The platforming doesn't feel quite right but the swinging and the ropes are very nicely done.

cataclysmicknight 2024-10-25 19:12

This was cool! It was really clever to use the two wires and then basically use the bots to build bridges, passages, etc. And you controlled them all super well, and I say that as someone who is NOT GOOD with games that use the keyboard and mouse at the same time 😅
