Do robots dream of flying dog baskets?

A little robot is tumbling along, minding its own business, when suddenly it falls through the ground and ends up in the ruins of a primitive civilisation. It must create a flying machine from the discarded ancient technologies to escape.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I like the writing in this, it feels like a game thats had a lot of creative input from both of you. Bags of charm as always, very pretty, has it's own sense of humour which I'm in to. :)

Nice artwork. Loved that you referenced Phillip K. Dick.

It was a really funny game until the point i could not figure out what to do next. My power and fans vanished for some reason and i did not know why. The wheels stopped rotating at some point.

Fun little game, nice graphics and nice little story, some glitch thought. IF you press up to take an elevator, it takes some time before moving you, if you press up 2 times it gets you up and down again. Also the ramp seem to mess the physic a bit.

Wow. Nice job! The graphics are great!

a lot of glitch but still a nice little puzzle game :p
example of glitch at phone area there is no wall to block the robot on each side... on the right it's okay because you can come back but apparently not on the left side :p
Oh and sometimes the robot goes in moonwalk

Will be fun to fix those bugs guys ;)

As others have mentioned there are a couple glitches. These might have been the reason I couldn't have beat the game as my power disappeared, or maybe I couldn't figure it out. Love the name.

Nice little game. Loved the gaphics. Getting into the elevator took a while.

I think I'm stuck. Created the pully, and then I couldn't do anything else and I started losing parts I already had. I love the graphics though!

I tried pressing a bunch of keys on the keyboard until I figured out that space would pick items up, it would be nice to mention that somewhere.

Nice game. I love the whole mall setting. Very nice!

I also think the art is very nice. I don't understand the puzzle logics, but it's very simple: just press space with everything to complete the game.
If you polish little bugs and do the puzzle more complex, I think you can get a good game

Found a couch looking thing in the "Cats and Dogs" place, found the fans and the power. Built a pulley. Was then stuck.

"Yes they do", to answer your question. Cute little game. It was a bit surprising that I could drop through floors with down key and I also managed to leave the game in one of the rooms so I had to restart it. Besides these details quite fun little puzzle.

A simple and pretty exploration game.

Controls and physics occasionally get in the way, but the graphics work quite well, and the cute story fits the theme nicely! I found the "puzzles" a bit bland but overall the game is fun for the time it lasts. Good job!

As usual with you the aesthetic is unique and gorgeous. I'm digging the cutout style. The gameplay was simple and exploratory, but sadly I lost track of what I was meant to be doing by the end of it and couldn't complete it. :(

We played your game on stream too, which you can view in here: https://www.twitch.tv/cantgetourname/v/87128748

Interesting game with a funny title! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36 games specifically highlighting the Plymouth Game Dev community, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/D52bOrYl0Fg

It controlled well and was satisfying. Also looked good too. I really liked it.
