Amazing game. Not really sure where the theme comes in, but I would love to see more of this game, particularly if you can come up with some really difficult puzzles.
I was disappointed it ended. The story/narration were nice and you could probably engineer some really cool puzzles with these mechanics, given more time to dedicate to it. Very nice concept and game.
@theme: You only get one USE ;)
I'm really sorry for the ending. I had planned a few more levels, abilities and sadly more story telling but I had to cut it shorter especially because the voice acting wouldn't have been possible for later levels.
I won't promise anything but who knows maybe there'll be an "When Arthur found love - Chapter 2" ;)
Very nifty game. It's pretty cool playing a puzzle game from a simple 1990s perceived future robot.
I love love love these kinds of sequence based games! I too was sad when it ended so soon, would love to see more levels and things to interact with. Please keep developing it! :)
Reminds me a lot of a ton of games, but Lightbot in particular: http://armorgames.com/play/6061/light-bot-20
Great entry - wish it was longer, but it's always a good idea to leave people wanting more ;)
Nice little game. Kinda reminds me of "the stanley parable" with the narration.
It was short but you did an amazing job on so many aspects. It's rare to hear some really great narration. The voice and style reminded me a lot of Thomas Was Alone. The whole thing was very charming and well done.
Great game! I don't see the theme in it, though, but I'd love it to go on. I was very interested in the next room :)
Cool ... great combination between narative game and programing rotot
Nice and fun. It feels almost like programming tutorial games I've played before. The voice acting/narration was great, and I wouldn't change it, but I would like to be able to read the full text faster than the voice reads it. I got a little impatient to play the level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Great game play. Reminds of of an older board game: "RoboRally".
