A fun little game, but it could have used some easier (and maybe less tedious?) levels. just giving me more targets to destroy isn't really super fun, I would like to make more meaningful choices. You could for instance see if you could kind of change this into a puzzle game, where you need a different amount of robots for different kinds of targets. I did really like the mechanic where you can make robots follow you, that's awesome. I would also like to see the option to just jump with up-arrow, as I think a lot of people are used to that. Anyway, good little entry, good job :)

Very interesting  mechanics! Haven't seen anything else quite like it. :) Lots of great potential here, plus the presentation and menu system were well thought through. Very nice! :D

Submitted

Very good concept and well executed mechanics. Fits fit the theme very nicely. Well done!

Had fun playing, overall good experience.

Love the concept! Nice implementation of the jam theme and it is fun to play.  Hitting the targets was unresponsive some times but overall, very nicely done! I enjoyed playing it until the end.

Lovely little game, the artstyle is simple but thats okay! I had a lot of fun controlling (or not controlling) my little robot army!

Don't be fooled by the artstyle, this game has really good gameplay formula! Keep it up man!

Submitted

hey, this is cool and has a lot of potential! i think you should look to explore reasons to control many robots. i like the explosion physics, they're quite fun

Nice concept! This was a neat puzzle game.

If you have time, please check out the game I worked on for the Jam called "Foobar". Thanks!

I found the game to be a tad of a grind. I like the explosions though, watching the player bounce on the screen was fun. Best of luck in the GMTK game jam!

This game makes me go YES!

Yo’,
It’s a fun game, I didn’t like the graphics, but you did what you could in 48hrs.
Level design can be improved, as the later level made using a large group of robots quite bothersome, and yet it wasn’t really necessary as you only need a few to break all the targets.

Submitted

Fun game but I feel like there should be more reason to command larger groups of robots (maybe targets that require some X amount to break?) Overall good submission!

the concept of this game is very very good! with a bit more of polishing it will became an Amazing game! keep going!

I downloaded the stanalone version, but i can't open the game.

Developer

Can you be more specific? Did it crash? Did nothing happen when running the exe?

I'd have liked to package the standalone to not be as many files, but I had an issue that I only figured out the solution to after submissions ended.

Submitted (1 edit)

Nothing happen after clicking on exe.

Developer

I wish I could help, but I have no idea what causes that.

You deserve to win just for implementing key rebinds! :D

Love when the bombs explode, very silly. :P

ok
