I didn't get very well what was the point, looks funny though. I advanced some levels and got stuck :(
I like the filter effect you applied :)

cool idea. and very innovative, haven't seen anything like this before. the robot collective is good. maybe you can expand on this?

Nice strategy game :)
My only probably was that there were a few too many characters for me to care about managing. Perhaps only have a couple in the early levels and then as you go further you find new allies?

Brilliant entry!

@JosephLittle I think you are spot one :) Maybe if you could find capsules with more characters in? Thanks for the kind words :D

Sometimes the portal goes missing. Nice idea though

The filter is great and like the way you've given personality to the robots with the different names and little portraits.

Couldn't find any portals, but enjoyed mining - felt a bit like curiosity cube

Wow this game surprised me. I wasn't sure what to expect from the description and it quickly put a smile on my face while playing.

I like the simple concept and the way things work. The game is quite interesting and is really fun to play. You had me going there for quite sometime too.

I liked the writing it was humorous enough and the little "Ed" (I am guessing it is though) thing was a nice touch.

The overall sounds are OK, I'd love to see some music as it would give some extra atmosphere to the game.

I particularly loved the black and white worlds they looked cool XD.

One thing though, I'd love some explanation as to what each rock does, I had to guess a few of them but wasn't sure my guess was correct or not.

Well done game and great work! :D
