Very good entry!
I love this game :heart: The pixel art has a lot of character. Sound effects are cute. The only bit of negative critique I can give is that the pause menu loads incorrectly (texts "Play" and "Quit" don't fit in the space for the buttons)
Personally, I think this is a fine addition to the jam. :thumbsup:
The click area on the right side of the screen seemed a bit small when going to new aeras, so I had to click around a few times, but apart from that minor issue this was a great experience.
Congrats on a fun and atmospheric entry! :)
Guys, I can't thank you enough for your comprehensive and useful feedback. I am so happy that you generally liked my game even though it was just a simple little story. Thank you, thank you thank you ^^
PS: I will try to play all our games as well, I have played some of your games already.

Really nice mood and story!
I liked the unique robot-designs, and the consistent style. Even though it's short, it succeeds in the world building-department.
(Also, the way the broken robot seemingly farts was a humorous little detail!)

One thing that would benefit a game of this genre would be some responsiveness when you try to combine items with (usually wrong) hot-spots.
I was almost certain that if you'd try to hit other robots with the hammer, you'd get some humorous remarks from them!
Of course every bit of extra-dialogue always means more work, but they make adventures like this even more immersive.
---
But yeah, I like the stuff you do. Keep up the good work!
(Ps. For some reason the Linux-version didn't have sound, so I ended up playing the game using WINE.)
I agree that I missed many things I wish I had more time to add even more details such as more responses, longer dialogues (well, longer for these low IQ robots anyway), and more interactions, but I tried to do my best to at least focus on the important stuff.
Yeah, normally I would be focused on more details, such as interesting combinations and interesting puzzles and dialogues, but needless to say, it is a Jam and I had only so much time.
A good point about the fact that I didn't inform the player about item interactions. I definitely should have done that. I think I just took it for granted that people know this stuff, but I simply forgot that P&C adventures are not popular anymore :)
Thank you once again for playing my game and I am really really happy you enjoyed it.
On the downsides, the game is a little bit railroaded with just one way to go forward, which is not specially difficult to find. Though that's understandable given the level of detail you have given to every aspect of the art.
Congratulations for making such an amazing game! And thank you for the linux build!
The only critique I can give is that I wished the robot moved a little bit faster as there is a lot of going back and forth (but this is almost a staple of point and click games)!
I think it would have been cool if you could have gone from the last screen to the first one, effectively creating another loop. Also it took me a while to realise I can combine items, as it was not said anymore, even if it is quite standard point and click fare, it's not present in all games of the genre. It would have also been nice if there had been some acknowledgement when using items on hotspots they're not working with.
All in all, very good!
Keep up the good work.
