How does your game fit the theme?
The game is themed around "starting up" your own company- you even get to start up robots along the way to get there!

This is a lovely puzzle game! The controls feel great, the visuals are clean and cute (even if a bit small), and the level design is really smart. I like how you have to try some levels at least twice to see what will happen. The office-style background sounds gave me a bit of anxiety, but honestly, they fit the vibe really well. Great job!

I really like the style of the game, the little robots wake up animation is great! I had some issues waking up my friends sometimes though, even when standing right next to them or on top of them? Eventually it would work though and I was able to get through the levels. It's a really cool idea and a great puzzler for sure! I did miss my jumps a little too often though, but that's just cause I'm bad haha! Really great game and amazing idea for y'alls first game jam game!

Polished presentation, sound and a good design idea. Only real gripe is the viewport size made me miss the first robo body change that would give me 2 robots, so I thought I was soft locked. User error for sure, I just missed the lil cube body.

Wonderful! Great graphics and sound (my favourite was the little whirring noises when a new robot is activated). Well designed puzzles and levels. A great effort!

Very cute game. The platforming feels very smooth, controls are easy to get and the whole level design is great and I loved the attention to detail such as the shadow below to know where you are going to land, only that it was a bit notorious when you jump and it teleports in between the floor and the platform you are standing on. Great job overall!

I was not able to climb the first ladder after the intro. Art was great althouth a bit small.

The ladder itself wasn't working when you walked into it, or you struggled with the puzzle?

ok, I found the issue. It looks Opera was not showing the whole screen, so I couldn't see the platform to jump in. Once I tried on another browser I could go for the next level.
