Pretty good puzzle game. Level 1 took me quite a while but once I figured out how to properly use the shield it felt quite satisfying to complete (other levels weren't so bad). Only real nitpick I have is that the delay between moving was a little too long and made the game feel awkward at times. I thought it was quite fun overall though!

Love the tutorial, walking the robot over the button prompts and tip panels teaches everything without a wall of text, and a dungeon that only moves when you do turns every step into a little puzzle. nice job

THE DROWNED KINGThe level design was very engaging. Whenever I got a gameover it felt like it was my fault. Very rewarding puzzles, and interesting use of mechanics. I would've liked to hear more music, and where I'm not sure if the music is totally game boy, I did enjoy it. I like when games use your health as a resource in puzzle solving. Very fun game!

I FOUND IT - GBJAM14This is a really cool game. I didn’t like that sometimes you would get trapped in some spots where you can’t win. Other than that it is an amazing game.

A Run for Your MoneyThat was fun, and the latter levels are proper brain-scratchers!
I do wish there were some way to heal, or checkpoints of some sort, because dying just before the end of the level can be disheartening.
Also a bit more movement speed / lower delay between each step could help make the game a bit more dynamic.
Other than that, it was great. GG :)

Temple of the Golden NoseThank you for playing!
I did want to add some of those points you mentioned but I just didn't have time, but I definitely put placeholders in my code to do things like heal, or even a battery to recharge your skills, etc.
Ooh good to note, I think it would be good, but I noticed that my friends were trying to rush in heads first and kept dying before thinking about how to stay alive ahaha.
Thanks again!!
