Having to build out the level and then the robot take its path played nicely. The only major draw back was the fact that some of the tiles when placed on the edge would not be pick up-able. There was also some minor UI problems where you couldn't click on the menu wording with the mouse in specific locations. Would have rated higher on fun, if not for the bugs.

Very impressive game! I loved the mood in it, the art was great, and it was a really cool concept. Some of the levels I found were easy because you could just make him stuck in one spot using conveyors until the last 2-3 moves.

This one hits all the marks in my opinion. Solid puzzle game design, great engaging graphics, fun music and sound effects, and perfectly fits the theme. I particularly like the curved monitor effect, really gives it a vintage feel. The only piece of criticism is that the controls weren't always responsive, sometimes I had to click multiple times to remove a piece, and sometimes it would never get erased and I'd have to restart the level. It can also feel a bit slow, after seeing my current design fail I want to be able to quickly make changes and see if it'll work right away. But I'm also probably just being impatient haha. My complaints can be easily fixed, but considering the time constraint it is incredibly robust, fantastic job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"GreenDinoGames","author_uid":"1143176","time":"2019-10-10T21:05:02Z","epoch":1570741502,"modified":1570741502,"text":"I like the pixel art and music.
