Marking myself among those who tried and failed to solve this puzzle XD
I adore the concept, but I think I would've benefitted from a clearer objective... Didn't occur to me that I was meant to fix the bug until reading some comments here... But maybe that's what you were going for?
By the gods above, that sooooong!
This is an awesome game, one of my favorites that I've played so far! (Though I have a soft spot for cute robots) I particularly loved the liberating feeling that came with picking up that speed chip.
The puzzles were interesting, I think they perhaps could've been more complex, but I think the simplicity works better with the backtracking mechanic.
Excellent work!
I have one issue: The monsters chase you for a very brief time, and their hitboxes are very forgiving. I found that due to the difference in speed between me and the monsters, I was able to kind of just run them in circles for a bit. Maybe this was intended, or maybe I got lucky, but once I discovered that, I found there was far less tension.
However, before I found that exploit, there was a moment of utter panic every time the monsters spawned. Blew 8 rounds out of the gun first spawn wave... I think that's the mark of a good horror game. XD Good job!
Great game! As a big fan of Tetris Attack/Puzzle League/Panel de Pon, this hits a sweet spot for me. The art's phenomenal, the soundtrack is solid, and it strikes a good balance between being reminiscent of Tetris Attack and introducing new mechanics while also sticking very strongly to the theme!
My only negative feedback is, as many stated over on Itch, some of the earlier fights can be beaten optimally by just spamming swap. In my experience though, some of the later fights forced me to think strategically, setting up matches to actually use on later turns. It was good fun!
Fun game! As some others have said, I feel like I'm not doing the game justice by only playing single-player mode. Maybe I'll have to get a friend involved and give it another shot. Generally, I found the AI to be avoidant, usually it'd throw itself off the map after a few turns.
AI issues aside, it's really well done! I particularly like how you balance Rock-Paper-Scissors with strategy by also adjusting the attack ranges for each stance.
Collected all the plants, filled up the monument... now what? Was some event supposed to trigger? Did I won?
That issue aside, this is a really cool take on the theme! I love dimension-hopping as a concept, so this was good fun. The art was really cute too!
Would've liked to have seen some music or at least some ambiance for each world besides just the first, but time crunches be time crunches, amirite?
Wow, what a polished entry!
I feel like it was intentional, the int overflow after the ultimate robot. Was very satisfying to see my resources go negative XD
My only issue was that the crates with new bots falling often got in the way of manually derusting my bots... then again, if there are so many bots that the crates are getting in the way, it's not that big of a deal, is it?
I love a good snowball effect building game like this, and the art is absolutely gorgeous. Kudos!
What an experience. I'm sorry for the loss of your cat, she was clearly very loved.
Excellent animation and atmosphere! I think my only qualm is that the lighting impacts the click prompts for the cat behavior, so they're kinda hard to see sometimes.
Astounding. I found myself skimming most of them, as I didn't have time to read them all and I STILL missed opportunities... Just like in life, eh? But I think that's ok. Life's about the experiences we have, not the ones we missed.
Good art and music! The background, like many others have said, gets a little dizzying after some time...
I _love_ the gimmick though. The nuclear detonation method for lightspeed is among my favorite approaching-the-speed-of-light techniques! Seems like something an Ork would come up with for rapid travel XD
@quinn-patrick that was the idea, yes. The first powerup is basic lateral ground movement. In my testing, I wasn't able to break it and keep moving after it vanished, but it's entirely possible you found a bug there.
Thanks everyone for all of the wonderful feedback! I agree completely with most of the points here, particularly more levels, a more visible jump charge, and better audio balancing.
@madhumster Had I spent half the time learning and twice the time doing, I'd've had that dozen more levels, but this was a learning experience, and quite a valuable one at that. Definitely going to do better for LD52!
@shaunshepherd yeah, that's what I was concerned about with the mechanic. I had tossed around some adjacent ideas, like for example instead of losing an ability every 10 seconds, you _change_ abilities. I ended up settling on this mostly due to lack of playtesting time. :/
@weefairyfabi Thanks! I'm happy to hear the lil guy's well received. ^ - ^
Glad both of you liked the game!
Great experience! I really love the art direction, reminded me of Paper Mario titles in the way everything was flat and flipped around.
The environment is gorgeous, and the level is well-designed: That sudden death was early enough that I didn't feel cheated or frustrated at falling off the map, and was just careful later. Good stuff!
nice game! There appear to be some resolution issues on my screen, at least in the embedded version. Maybe that caused me to miss it, but the lack of button prompts led to struggles. A looot of trial and error before I finally realized "e" picks things up.
Very hectic and fun gameplay! I feel like highlighting which item the player is about to pick up would be useful, as I often accidentally picked up the wrong item due to mispositioning myself.
Kudos on the art!
Excellent entry! Were it not for the other commenters, I don't think I would've picked up on the theme, but as far as a text adventure goes it REALLY added to the atmosphere. I particularly like how the distortion grew over time, made things very intense as the game progressed.
Overall, a great experience!
Such a cute game! I love the art being sparse, really feels like playing a children's book. The music is really good too, instantly boosted my mood!
This game is a fun concept, it's got a lot of charm! I was a bit frazzled being thrown in sink-or-swim, but the gameplay was really intuitive. I think my only issue is that rocks look to me like part of the background, so a few times I unexpectedly hit a wall. Good work overall!
