I almost gave up just before realizing one solution to the first puzzle and I felt really accomplished to have not been \"just another robot\". I didn't beat the game, I got stuck on the fourth or fifth level but I enjoyed it. I would prefer if there were a way to turn off the text to speech of the narrator as it can be a bit distracting especially when you might die and they begin to overlap.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"DevOrc","author_uid":"1004134","time":"2017-07-31T14:43:12Z","epoch":1501512192,"modified":1501512230,"text":"This was probably the funniest game I have ever played for ludum dare!
