Instructions:
How often has this happened to you? You’re out to buy ice cream, but your robot is malfunctoning, and refuses to move on its own or even to cross its own path.
This is a tile-based maneuverability puzzle game, where you’re trying to get your robot to each of the ice cream vending machines on each level. Apologies for the small number of levels; they were all created at the very last possible moment. ;)
Controls:
Use the arrow keys to move, and the alt/option key to restart a level.

Is it intentional that pushing “always” pushes them all the way to a border in one direction?
(also, bug, if you push a robot over a vending machine, the robot only gets the ice cream if the vending machine is the last square )
that was fun :D/
