Navigate robots though a complicated factory by controlling all of elevators within the building.
The aim is to get all of the robots from their spawn point (the narrow beam) to the exit (the wide beam).
Controls: --------- Move elevators: Up and Down keys Reset level: Hold both Up and Down for 1 second

How to run: ----------- To run on Windows, simply extract the archive and run main.exe. There should be no external requirements.
Oh, I also forgot to mentuon that I really like the level design. Especially how you introduce players to new mechanics progressively. We have a lot to learn from this as our games always end up too hard ;)
Fantastic! Love the concept and the execution. The elevator physics can be a bit wonky - it might be better for them to stop and reverse if they'd get stuck on a robot, rather than just letting it break through - but other than that this is outstanding. Looking forward to playing through more of it.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm glad the work we put into getting the level progression right paid off.
mahalis: That is a good suggestion, and it should be relatively easy to implement in a post-ld build. We already detect that situation, but currently disable collisions with moving elevators under those conditions. Reversing the direction of the elevator is a much better idea.
Strange entry. Initially I wasn't hooked on the visuals (sometimes they looked a bit confusing), it seemed to have a few boring moments, having to wait for the robot to slowly follow its path to a platform, and specially the lack of audio also put me down.
But the gameplay and puzzles got me hooked and I had to clear all 10 levels! In the end, that's what I want in a game.
Btw, level 10 could use a "restart" key, for when you screw up and realize your robot's going to die.
I had to install pytmx on Linux to play the game.
