The idea is sure unique, and I love how cute the lil creatures are (the sfx when you pick them up does wonders)! The UI is a bit difficult to navigate tho: I thought the transparent white background behind the tutorial would block my clicks, so it was unintuitive to pick up the creature behind it. I also struggled to tell whether I'd correctly done a level, especially once it got to 2 of them.
Love the game, only issue I had was sometimes the "fixing clogged toilet" robot sound would keep playing continuously.
Took me just a bit to understand what was going on, but good once I got it
@daflamingpotato hmm, weird, didn't encounter that while testing. Could you try to explain, when that happened?

Very unusual. The interface is a bit tricky.
nice concept! feel sorry for this lil' robot cause he is gonna fight giant megalodons that somebody dumped :smile:
восхитительная игра
Took me a bit till I got the hang of the controls, especially the bit where you click on the arrow to change the direction. Needed a few tries till I finally understood that this was what I had to do. Maybe I'm just too tired rn haha
Very unique take on the theme!
It's a really funny premise. Great idea for the gameplay - it's solid. Timing the robots is pretty challenging. Had to use the full brain for this. What a nice happy ending cutscene :) Really enjoyed this.
It did take a minute to understand the game. I understood it once I saw the yellow bars on the meter by blindly flushing robots.
Very interesting idea for a puzzle game, and the fact that your are flushing dudes down a toilet is really funny. The 3d UI is cool and works well, except for that the view of the pipes were blocked when you had a dude ready for placing in the toilet.
Hey! Thanks everyone so much for playing and leaving feedback!
@sockenpuppe yeah, I couldn't really get the arrows to be an obvious thing to click at.. I just hoped people would figure it out
@pincushion you made it! I wasn't too sure if the difficulty was too high but I think I'm quite pleased with the result
@rillep it's like with most small creatures - cute but a bit annoying...
I wish i had these guys at home. Couldnt understand what to do at first. then watched that it works only in fullscrean mode) I imagine how you recorded sounds.
I don't have patience for puzzles so I am not the target audience :-P but I liked playing the first games and the take on the theme. Congrats!
Cool take on the theme. This was an interesting puzzle game with some timing/rhythm elements to it. I could see this being fleshed out with other indicators being used to help with timing besides the round circle in the top left. Overall I think this was a great entry, nice work.
lol The idea does fit perfectly with the theme and is quite funny. I'm definitely going to give this game a high score in humor😂
I'm shocked how anyone could have thought of this XD
Interesting mechanics. Lots of levels here. The switches were a nice change to keep things interesting. The ending sequence was a nice touch. Picking up a robot obscured the pipes readout which was irritating when trying to see when you need to flush the next one, though just counting the timer instead was more reliable. There is a lot of unused space on the screen. The zoom-in felt superfluous. It felt like the pipe display should just have been larger.
Good work on adding a tutorial to a jam game, that always requires some additional work. The game works pretty well, so good job!
Thank you everyone so much for playing and rating! This was a great jam!
