How does your game fit the theme?
We play as a robot crab whose battery drains with every step it takes, counting down.

Cool puzzles but I almost gave up on that frustrating lvl 4. I even did not figure out how to get stars.
Also, I think sometimes I got more moves than expected. I was running toward a "battery charger" and I saw I had 00 move left but then it shows 02 and I was still able to charge my little crab. Not sure how it happened though (all I did was rushing toward the battery, moving slowing's not working).
The last level was a bit easier, so now I can resume rating other games xD.
Interesting idea, good application of the theme. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand what sensors do, so I stuck on level 5
Also, our game has a similar mechanic in some way, I'd appreciate it if you guys check it out
Edit: Beat the game at last, just had to look at the screen :D
I admit the mechanics were though to understand, I couldn't pass past level 4. I would have liked more indications on how to get stars for example, or just how to pass levels. However, I really liked the game, it was smooth and it has a great potential. It is not just a simple puzzle game, congratulations for doing that !
I have long wanted to say that your games have largely determined what our studio does. Thank you very much. Please don't stop and make more games. I love you very much.
This is lovely. The art and soundtrack are superb and the puzzles genuinely made me stop and think. The crab's little error animation is great too. Really impressive stuff!
Check out my game if you get a chance, a chess roguelike called Final Gambit: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4813276
Fantastic game, perfect in everyway. I hope that you'll win this year
Brilliant puzzle game! At first I thought it's just old school pushing box. Nah it has a twist ! Good game
Puzzles are clever and artwork is top notch, another gem in FQ gamejam collection
