WHEW - This game is so cool. The quality was so so high and so wanted to make sure that people knew the small areas where they could improve - but honestly it's so difficult. This game scored very high overall, as did many.

- The visuals of the robot, the UI and the movement was so good, I wonder if there's a little more to make the actual shop more interesting?

- Love the coop element of the gameplay, watching the cams of the robots rather than spectating.

- Would love to see maybe some differnet levels. 

- I wonder if there could be a way of telling the area of sight for the robots? Would be cool to see. Or something to tell you they've stopped chasing.


All in all amazing, and we hope this gets an update soon <3

The aesthetics are great, the design is great.... The game is great

It's got dystopian supermarket sweep vibes and I loved it. I would however like to at some point escape from the robot store supervisor as they were chasing me for 90% of the round on my first time and I hadn't even stolen anything 😭 

Well done though, another really good small but unique game coming from you and your partner's 😁

Thanks Slater! If you hide behind a wall the robots will stop chasing

It took me a while to figure out what I supposed to be doing but once I got the hang of it it started to click. It seemed like some items were grouped up thematically, and others weren't? I don't know if it was random chance, but the clear produce section felt nice to go to to get things, but the rest of the store felt random and thus difficult to remember where anything is. There's also shelves off to the side that had stuff on it that I thought would be interactable and was confused by, not that they were objectives I was assigned. When I joined it was dark and I had no idea where in the store I was, what the scanners I was looking for were, or how to navigate at all. Would love a little more guidance in the beginning, maybe an overhead map of the store on the loading screen? I actually found the robots slightly annoyingly persistent, and would appreciate just some faster movement in general. I think the store looked quite nice in the light, maybe a faster paced challenging day mode? :)

Hey thanks for the feedback! There are 4 different sections:

  • Produce - Fruits / Vegetables
  • Frozen Foods (blue shelf)
  • Ordinary stuff (red shelf)
  • Toys (yellow shelf)

Hello!

I played through a round this morning. I was alone in the game.

I really appreciate the memory aspect of this game. Remembering the 3 items you need to find as well as finding them is a nice challenge as you run around the map.

I thought the robots could be a little more aggressive. I did manage to have one chase me, which was fun, but most of the time they walked past me without giving chase.

I found it difficult to know what was going on until I hit F1 and read the help. I think it would help a lot if the player spawned beside a scanner. The first thing I did when I joined the game was pick up 3 items that were next to me, assuming that was the objective. 

I think the time limit is perfect. It took me 6:39 to find all 9 items and escape. I didn't feel like I had too much time, and I didn't feel like I had too little time.

The item spread is great, too. It took me a fair amount of time to find the items I was looking for in the store, but not so long I got frustrated and wanted to give up. 

I did find the scanners hard to find. They have a nice blue ring at the top that helps in the fog - can those be brighter so you can see them from further away?

I found no bugs (other than the damage vignette bugging out sometimes, but that's my fault not yours). The UI works great, and all the mechanics work perfectly. Really good job, I think. I Love the faces on the robots.

All in all I think this is a solid game. It'll be fun with a fully lobby - I think AJ will like this on streams.
