The idea is cool!

Such a unique idea! love it. The only constructive criticism i could give was maybe the beeping of the robot talking was a bit much? maybe some background music to drown it out a little bit. I also sometimes had no reset button appear and had to hit the one at the top. no bid deal, just something i found :) well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Noted on the beeping and the reset button: the big RETRY only appears when the hero dies, so when you're just stuck only the top RESET works. I'll improve both in an update!

A deceptively simple game, but it took a few goes to figure out what needed to be done.  I liked it and really cohesive game.  The audio did get to be a little to harsh.
Here is my playthrough:

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Note about the audio: I'll soften the sounds and lower the volume in a future update. While I wanted it to be a little challenging to understand what to do, I think I could smooth out the learning curve so it's not so confusing.
