Agree with @ismailtemirci, the art style is fantastic! Cute and fun game :smile: The controls were actually pretty uncomfortable as a QWERTY user, so it would be nice to be able to rebind them.

Nice and efficient puzzle game! It could be a full game with news mechanics added all along!
BTW the shader is nice too :D.
(Sometime the pathfinding line didn't show up though :o )

Marvelous art style, want to look how you made those exotic shaders. Good game idea, robot's game logic is readable from the first level, no conflict situations. Found a little bug (or feature?) at the 3rd level: there's no navigation line. Enjoyed your game a lot!

Oohh, this looks pretty. Also a tad psychedelic, but it looks nice and unique so I can't really complain. I did need like 5 minutes to figure out what exactly I was supposed to do, a little bit of ingame text or visualization would've been nice in the first level. And at the fourth level I just got stuck, but that might be because I've just had 72 hours of game programming and my brain's still not entirely recuperated. Nice game!

Fun game :) It took me too much time to understand what I had to do (I was about to message one of you guys :p), make sure to add some tutorial level where you simply shows the player what to do so that he understands everything he needs.
I also had a bug on the third level (I think it was the third one, but I can check again if you need) where the bot path was not displayed. I played last level to see if it was intentional, but apparently is was not.

The art is interesting but I'm not really a fan of the different shaders + isometric camera, it sometimes felt a bit weird looking at the game and understanding the perspective. Maybe it is just me though.

That's a cool entry overall!
Is there any reason the path takes a bit of time to recompute when you plant a seed ? Not much time, but enough to have an "unresponsive feeling"

Nice game overall!

I liked your puzzles, just found it hard to sometimes make the robot follow the correct path :P

Great visuals and soundtrack!

I'm not really sure what I'm doing. As soon as I plant a seed, the level restarts.

Oh, I see now. My eyes were drawn to the "rubble" that slows him down, and I didn't even notice the purple flower elsewhere. I kept trying to place the seed on the rubble to make him turn around before hitting it.

I think on the third or fourth level, the way I want to solve it doesn't work. The robot simply turns around. I wasn't even aware that he could turn around. I didn't end up solving it because it took too long to iterate on my solutions, for two reasons.

1. It takes some time for the level to reset if you mess up placing one of your seeds, but still have at least 1 seed. It would be nice to have a restart button!
2. Even if you know what you're doing, it can take some time waiting for the robot to drive in the circle. Being able to speed it up would be a godsend!

I like the concept as a puzzler, but I just couldn't get into it for the above reasons. But I loved the graphics and the aesthetic!

the graphics are awesome and i love the little robot, the music is chill sa relax. by cons at the beginning I had trouble understanding the principle it took me a few minutes before realizing that I was an idiot lol and in the end it was cool as a puzzle game.
