Good graphics but I was a bit lost

I think I got the hang of it, shooting the block on my cleaner robot to make it go in the direction I want. It’s a unique game mechanic, but difficult to master. I wasn’t sure what the minigame after my battery died was for. The instructions are nice, and I understand that’s what we usually have time for in a game jam, but if we can add some interactive on-boarding steps, it will be easier for new player to pick it up. Very unique game!

The firmware-hacking framing is creative, pretty funny to navigate robot with blocks

I am not sure if I am playing this right, but I had fun placing the squares and kinda using it to divert my ship ... feels like those dvd looping videos where you wait to see it hit the corner. Here it was about to hit the corner when I accidently clicked on it and spawned the square thing

Interesting presentation. Difficult to wrap my head around how to play it.

really unique interface or maybe I just didn't understand what I was supposed to do ;-) I enjoyed piloting the Roomba by throwing ice at it tho.  maybe spread the instructions out so that each mini game starts with just what you need.  I think there's potential here!

Thanks for reviewing my game! :heart: Yeah, I tried to provide an explanation on what to do for each mini game at the intro stage, and there is a message screen in the bottom panel that shows the instructions,  but I do agree that some follow-up examples will be more efficient than text in the intro stage.

ill be honest the sheer concept of AI hacking a roomba had me laughing the whole time. The game is cute and  i enjoyed my time.
