Description
Codroids is a puzzle game where you must guide colored droids to matching target. Unfortunately, you are unable to control each droid individually, and must instead control them all at once!
To successfully get a droid where you want it, you must make clever use of the walls and of other droids. Just beware that in doing so, you will almost certainly mess up everything else.
The game mechanics of Codroids are simple and intuitive, and the puzzles remain small and lucid throughout the game. On average, the levels can be solved in less than 12 moves.
Codroids is, however, very challenging. It just achieves this without presenting increasingly large and intricate levels, or by constantly throwing new game mechanics at you. The solutions are not complex, just easily overlooked.
How to Play
Move each droid to its matching target. Beware, you control all droids at once!
-Arrow keys or WASD to move
-Backspace to undo
-Tab to reset level
Developer Updates
-Sound should now work in all browsers.

This is a nice and difficult yet completely fair game. I tip my hat to you for such a challenge, good sir.

Reasonable sort of game that straddles the line between enjoyable puzzle and Guess What Number I Am Thinking Of [Ha-ha, You Are Wrong] Perhaps I am simply too dim, but having an "optimal" solution without providing that most basic of considerations, the Par Score, seems an excellent means of getting your otherwise very polished game downvoted.
The idea is that the gold star should function as a kind of par score (or just the silver star, depending on what standard you set for yourself). I want to encourage the player to try and find the optimal solution, but my intention was not to discourage anyone from moving on anyway. It is a very difficult game, so just solving the puzzles I think will provide enough of a challenge for almost all players.

Ha, I played this quite a while ago, and struggled a lot. Now, on a different day with fresh (?) brains, I seem to do quite a lot better! If you find it difficult, try taking a break and trying again!
