The game is about a robot who wants to escape from the place where he works. He quickly realizes that he can't do it alone and have to convince another robot to cooperate and try to escape together.

If you find any other solution other than the one presented in the cover video I'd be curious to know. I made the game easier by choice for the jam, this may lead to solution different from the intended one.

The game has not a conclusion. Being a puzzle game i didn't wanna close it with 3 rooms only. I didn' manage to complete the last room, let alone a proper conclusion. Furthermore, I may want to keep working on it, I would really appreciate your opinion about this. Should I continue adding mechanics and levels? maybe more bots? Is it worth it to spend more time on this? Should I just polish, add closure and leave it?

Being my first game I don't know if I am getting too attached to it.

The game was created for the gemedev.tv game jam 2026, the theme was "connections". Other than the obvious physical cable connection mehcanic, the idea that I wanted to convey is that in this game, as in life, you often need to connect socially to figure things out.
