A very nice entry that you deserve to be proud of, great work!
Concept was good but I have two small criticisms.
* If I didn't wait long enough, when placing food, the robots could skip to closest blood cell breaking my plan. Wish instead they moved in order of placing them down.
* The final blood cell / food always felt kinda wasted as it was always place near the needle maybe was not needed.
Overall cool ideal with good execution. Great job :thumbsup:
Hopefully, the right technology will come along soon.


Gameplay was cool, took me 2-3 tries even with the description to realise exactly how it worked as I initially thought it was about having to keep feeding the bots and keeping nasties at bay with the acid, but then I realised I could (mostly) take my time and that I was supposed to clear and lay down a path. Fun and puzzly!
The graphics already really help set the mood, just wish there was some cool background music to really perfect the atmosphere. I feel like something low and rumbly and underwatery would've worked well? :')
Overall super cool and could definitely be even cooler with some extra work post jam on more levels (and music)!
