AI* - The puzzle game

Hello everybody!!! This time we have made an unusual puzzle.

You play the role of artificial intelligence, which wants to free all animals from the laboratory. Control various electronic devices (!) to guide animals on the right path.

``` Hotkeys:

Mouse Left - interact with objects / move game camera

R - Restart level

Ctrl + "?" + "?" - secret combination ( ? = some keys ) ```

The archive has a text file (utf-8) with the walkthrough. The puzzles are not very simple, but solvable (I have tested it :sweat_smile: ).

For the game to work, you need to download the entire archive with files.

P.S. : For the first time in my life, I had to write artificial intelligence for creatures. ~~They may seem dumb XD~~ Anyway, the work on this project was very exciting!

Thanks to everyone who played this game!

I Liked the idea of the game, but it looks like the pathfinding of the animals is very slow.
It takes a lot of time before an animal decides to go to another place (food), which slows the game down a bit. The game would be more lively/fun if the animals went to the food immediately.
Liked the visuals!

This is an awesome idea! I had a lot of fun playing it. Didn't realize the microphone was so important until I read your walkthrough. I thought it was just an "alarm" for level 2. The mouse wheel is kind of weird to control zoom and some movement but once I understood how to move the camera it was a much easier game. Love the art, good asset design. GOOD JOB ON THE AI! Overall this is almost like a metal gear solid stealth mission puzzle game for animals that are hard to control! Nice work

Wow this game has pretty good puzzles not gonna lie. Only thing is in the first level I was confused on how to get through, I referred to the walkthrough and it said the chicken can lay egg after feeding it 3 times. How would the player know that the chicken could lay eggs... Just something I was confused with. The art and music is awesome.

Neat graphics, cool idea. I agree that the walkthrough is much needed because there is not much guidance for newbies like me. :)

Very fun puzzles and a great take on the theme. I enjoyed it! :))

Love this pixel art! Was very confused in the first level, it would be nice to outline more items you can interact with.
Other than that nice puzzles and graphics, interesting game!
