When Arthur found love by Kayelgee

[raw]
made by Kayelgee for LD28 (JAM)
Follow the story of a little factory robot discovering what else there is beside his little workplace. Will he find love eventually or will he stay a heartless machine? Follow him in his quest and help him find the best usage for his limited abilities. But remember you can use his abilities only ONCE...per level. Set up your orders and watch him drive, turn, fly, magnetize and grab his way through mindblowing levels.

Instructions:
- Click on your unused abilities to plan them
- Click start
- Arthur will execute your planned abilities in the order you chose

Game by:
Kamil "KayelGee" Galecki

Music and Voice Acting by:
Alexander "seniorheuser" Heuser

Update:
I put stand alones up for people who have problems with the Unity Web Player. I haven't tested these, so tell me if eveything is working when you use them :)

Great game play. Reminds of of an older board game: "RoboRally".

Bit of a challenge but I think I managed.

Amazing game. Not really sure where the theme comes in, but I would love to see more of this game, particularly if you can come up with some really difficult puzzles.

I was disappointed it ended. The story/narration were nice and you could probably engineer some really cool puzzles with these mechanics, given more time to dedicate to it. Very nice concept and game.

@theme: You only get one USE ;)
I'm really sorry for the ending. I had planned a few more levels, abilities and sadly more story telling but I had to cut it shorter especially because the voice acting wouldn't have been possible for later levels.

I won't promise anything but who knows maybe there'll be an "When Arthur found love - Chapter 2" ;)

Very nifty game. It's pretty cool playing a puzzle game from a simple 1990s perceived future robot.

I love love love these kinds of sequence based games! I too was sad when it ended so soon, would love to see more levels and things to interact with. Please keep developing it! :)

Reminds me a lot of a ton of games, but Lightbot in particular: http://armorgames.com/play/6061/light-bot-20

Great entry - wish it was longer, but it's always a good idea to leave people wanting more ;)

Nice little game. Kinda reminds me of "the stanley parable" with the narration.

It was short but you did an amazing job on so many aspects. It's rare to hear some really great narration. The voice and style reminded me a lot of Thomas Was Alone. The whole thing was very charming and well done.

Great game! I don't see the theme in it, though, but I'd love it to go on. I was very interested in the next room :)

Nice and fun. It feels almost like programming tutorial games I've played before. The voice acting/narration was great, and I wouldn't change it, but I would like to be able to read the full text faster than the voice reads it. I got a little impatient to play the level.
