Alter the robots memory to send them to their doom.
As is natural for a Ludum Dare submission, there is very little polish and lots of bugs. I tried to create a creepy atmosphere, along with interesting game mechanics. IMO I got the atmosphere right but the game mechanics are lacking.
I really like the music, it creates a fantastic atmosphere, I just wish the loop were longer and/or cleaner. The gameplay is very clever, but a bit frustrating.
It is a little tricky to control, but I think you've done a pretty awesome job with this! One thing I would suggest if you were to work on this further would be to make robots wait momentarily before turning a corner. This would give players a little more time to flip the bit without the robot going the wrong direction.
I agree, polishing is very hard. But it can be done and there are actually some extremely polished games out there. Your game's idea is nice. The minimalist visual style fits well with the programming-hacking-thing. I like that. I can't seem to make it to level 3 though, as the robots don't seem to turn around the way I expect.
The GameBoy sprite graphics are definitely the highlight here. I feel like I'm playing with my monochrome Pocket at my grandmother's house all over again.
Welcome to Ludum Dare! I think you did a good job with the game concept, and the monochromatic graphics, but it's a shame you didn't have more time to add more levels and puzzles. I actually felt bad for the robots though.

It was hard to control the little buggers, but it made sense that it was hard, since we can do very little from the Moon.
Loved it!
