The previous days were quite boring to sit through...

It's clear you ran out of time, and had more planned.  It's a shame - I would have liked to see where you were going with it.\n\nI did like the aesthetics of the game - the robot and its interactions would be fun in a more fleshed-out puzzle game.  Reminds me of the old \"point and click\" adventure games somewhat.\n\nGraphically, I liked the simplicity of the presentation.  One suggestion would be to make the robot a different color than the background wall so that it doesn't get so lost against the background.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gengarskhan","author_uid":"1024175","time":"2017-05-17T09:00:46Z","epoch":1495011646,"modified":1495011646,"text":"Interesting concept. I really enjoyed the little surprise \/ puzzle thing you had at the end and could see some room for other cool things.
