I couldnt get my bots to do anything what I wanted, they moved randomly or stayed in place even when I wanted it to move.

I thought I was racing to get pairs before my enemy robot did. At first I only noticed the gems that had fallen on the ground, and then when I realized there was a cube of gems I started flying around trying to get as many pairs as possible and wound up upside down somehow. It was slightly humorous, but also frustrating because the controls were backwards. \n\nThank you for inviting me to play your game. \n\nAt the end I also got myself into a state where there were no gems, just timer going down. Its a bug you might want to track down and fix.

You can't control them or you don't fight them, they're your (energy-sucking) buddies. The matcher matches gems for you (and is fixed on one side of the jewel box) and the cleaner moves in circles cleaning up from the floor.\n\nHi @saoi-games - the upside down thing is something that happens in the WebGL build only. Never hit this in the editor or Windows. It's frustrating I agree but no clue what the problem is, it's somehow related to the mouse grab.\nAs far as no gems appearing that is odd. As per the difficulty it takes longer and longer for a new jewel box to appear - did you check the timer in the upper right hand corner?","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"saoi-games","author_uid":"1079667","time":"2018-04-24T17:59:42Z","epoch":1524592782,"modified":1524592782,"text":"@interface I did check the interface and waited through 4 rounds of what I thought would be gems appearing.
