A little puzzle game where you play SAM, a robot with very little memory, who must upload and download programs according to his needs ... The game is not over, it's a nice little prototype, I hope you'll like it. I created this game with two other people, who took care of the sound design and graphics.
To play, all you need is the left click of the mouse, the elements with which you can interact are highlighted in yellow.
A very cute idea even on its own, and I really appreciate it in context of the theme. Just wish there were a little more to it! Love the look of the level, as well.
Awesome job!! Love the style, the fact the character walks towards where you click. The art style, the puzzle element and the whole game theme. I love the ram idea. Great job!!!
Whaou. I am stunned by the graphics and movement ! Also the concept looks brillant. I hope that you'll keep working on it and create nice levels ! Keep us informed ;)
Beautiful concept demo. You really focused on polishing core mechanics and sacrificed everything else, that was smart call. Would definitely like to play more levels.
I like how you used the theme. The graphics are nice and the music was good. You should maybe add a main menu with some info about the game. To bad there was only one level, but it shows of the concept very well. I can see this be good little puzzle game if you had many other level and more skills to use.
It's such a shame you did not have the time to make it into a full game because the potential is real and the execution is fantastic. I especially liked the way the camera moves automatically in a place that makes sense, and the quality of the graphics that are a true pleasure to the eye. Good job!
Game could use a tutorial. I opened the door but could not figure out what to do after that. Controls are a bit frustrating. Sometimes when clicking that box in the first level, the robot will run downstairs instead of going to the box where I clicked.
Great graphics and I'm sure the game is fun once it is figured out.
SAM is absolutely adorable! Overall I got a very polished feel from this. Could easily be turned into a proper puzzle game. Only concern as mentioned before is low resolution support.
I will work on this problem of low resolution and solve the problem, Still sorry for the incomplete level, I will create a post jam version that will contain more things
You clearly put a lot of time and effort into the outstanding graphics that are in this demo, I hope you continue this even when the jam is over because it has a lot of promise!
besides from the missing ending, the fact, that this game has only 1 level, and that the quit-button looks a bit poor, this seems like a full game, and i love the game. the idea is very interessting, the level is well made (it reminds me a bit of captain toad: treasure tracker), the game looks really good, and it's just a really good puzzle game. please make new levels and devolop this into a full game. don't miss this opportunity, you have a really good base game here!
A very nice concept. The style is spot on, and love the Diorama like level presentation. It really helps with the auto camera to create a nice, calm feel of a puzzler. The theme is represented well with the disk-space of the robot, a nice take! I like where this is going, as you mentioned its only a prototype, and with only one level there is only that much to say more then that it has a lot of potential for some awesome challenges.
Some thoughts however: The entire puzzle design so far is based on that the player having to walk A LOT between terminals to change to the correct load-out. This has a risk of becoming a rather tedious task, and start to feel likes its all about "just" back-tracking. It is therefore necessary that the controls and movement of the character is spot on, and that the actions feel "quick" to preform. However, at the moment, its all bit iffy. Sometimes I felt the robot almost got "stuck" or at-least had issues going where i clicked, and (for me at-least) the menu-buttons where very off. For some reason the hit-boxes where not aligned correctly with the visuals, and had to press multiple times to get them to trigger.
Also would have loved to see a bit more character to the level design. Like blinking lights, smoke/steam coming out of a pipe etc. Something to make it more a joy not just to play, but to look at.
Hello, thank you for these feedbacks. We had talked about a lot of these improvements during the prototype design phase, but we decided to focus on the core gameplay and the overall feeling of the game. Now we're going to have plenty of time to improve the concept, we're going to keep in touch !
Great concept, it was very enjoyable solving this little puzzle, and the graphics and controls were super! You could have added a simple win message when you reach the final part of the puzzle, and the robot can intersect with some walls, but with a few more programs and levels this would be a polished fun game!
This is a really sweet prototype. The sounds are incredible. The visuals are equally so. The concept has a really nice flow to it, it'd be cool if there were memory upgrades and more complicated program management. I really wish there was more depth, this is an idea that is begging to be expanded! Solid entry overall!
Impressive aesthetics, it has a super mood. The puzzle is simple, yet very well put. And the use of the theme is clever. A nice little entry, congrats!
Really nice, I love the concept and it is a nice interpretation for the theme. it is a shame I couldn't figure out how to complete the level, I would like to see more.

I hope you will keep working on it.

The graphics are great, the camera is smooth, the pathfinding works really well. ^_^
It would be so nice to play complete levels, awesome job!

Hope to try it again with more level! Cheers.
