This would be a good game, except it's far too easy! I actually tried to kill myself before the big bad boss at the end, and could not do it. Also, the bonus stuff unlocks really quickly - seems like if you finish the tutorial everything's there. On the plus side, it's a great original gameplay idea, and I like the music! 3/5, could have been 4.5/5 with more challenge.
Okay, once I found the right pixel to aim at, it was pretty easy. Although it's usually considered bad form to shoot arrows at targets you can't actually see!
3/5
If you could kill the guards this game would be pretty pointless, wouldn't it? And if you don't like getting cornered maybe you should stay in the open? Honestly. Frankly, I love this game. Fresh premise, great execution (har har) and tough challenges. Five stars. Now all it needs is some badges.....
...And now I feel like a complete tool, because only after completing Gold do I figure out that you can alter the position of the manipulator when you place it. Doh!

This game's a real brainbuster. Hard to stop halfway without completely losing track!

Very cool game. Things get complicated in a hurry! Might I suggest integrating a realtime save function though? I can just see myself in the middle of level umpteen and having my browser lose the game. That would not be happy. Otherwise, five stars!
Wow... I've got really mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand I love the potential presented by the various joints and the available settings. On the other hand, actually building a robot feels painfully clunky. Maybe I'm too used to the quick-connect joints of Amazing Contraption, but it shouldn't take five steps to connect two wheels. And if I guess wrong, I can't tweak the design - I have to start from scratch. With a couple of fixes, this game could be fantastic - as it stands now, it's simply frustrating.
Very nice game; too bad it's over just when it gets interesting! Great interface, too. Light-Bot II will have logical operators and another function box, maybe? Five stars!
