Really fun, unique game? Simple mechanics but the level design was really good. Overall a solid game, good job!

What a fun puzzle game - the level design was great (agree with the comment above) and some of the levels were legitimately pretty difficult. I loved this and would definitely play more levels if they were available. Great work.

The game changes when you realize you can/should use robots against each other. Level 8 had me at a "AH HA!" moment. Really nice! The visual is simple but cute, and the music is nice. The message is solid. Nice work!

Having WASD as controls as well would really improve it. Just beat the game. <3

Nice game! Having tutorial levels with text in them explaining the mechanics would have been helpful, as I didn't read the three paragraphs at the start, and would allow the player to get straight into the gameplay. Apart from that, it was a fun little game with unique mechanics.

Super fun short game. Engaging level design and some genuinely challenging and interesting problems. I love the simplicity and the overall theme and story. Great job :)

Well done. (: A polish item might be to have a very quick "robots melt ice" action after each player action, to make more clear the order of operations.

Lovely game. I like the chill tunes along with simple gameplay. Reminds me of NES games, in a good way.
For improvements... In addition to what has been said already I would just polish it. Like adding sound and animation for moving and steam rising from the tiles. Oh, and option to adjust volume of music.

Love audio, and the artstyle is really cute! Neat little puzzle game, don't think I saw something similar before! It's not easy to come up with new ideas for puzze games, so kudos!

Fun and relaxing game. It is quite fun that I play the whole game. And your music is really good, and cute. It reminds me the game time of my childhood, I search and play simple games on the website all day long. I love this game!!!

fun puzzle game although some of the seem to be able to be completed by pushing robots off screen

I really enjoyed playing this one. Even though I did get stuck on level 9 :frowning: The music is great and matches the look and feel. Relaxing even when it was frustrating if that makes sense :smile: Thanks for letting me play this!

Nicely designed puzzles, figuring out the solutions was very satisfying! I'd love to see this expanded post-jam with more levels.

Simple but fun little game. I think the health bars were a bit redundant, and probably wouldn't be needed at all if the ice textures were made more distinct, but otherwise it was great :)

Fun game! Would have liked an animation for when robots fall in the water, looks like they just vanish.
