That was nice! Really liked the idea of a free for all last-standing kinda game.
I am thinking that maybe you could assign and display a name for each robot so it gets more personal after each round, that would be fun.
Really liked the idea of the bolts! Meant that I couldn't just stay behind and watch them all kill each other haha.
Nicely done!
Originally and only until close to the end, the robots did have names!
A future iteration we’d definitely want names so you can have a mini rivalry seeing the same name coming back every round :)
Great game just needs some more levels/gameplay element
I think the bolts system was a super clever way to discourage players from hiding in the corner in the earlier rounds and let the enemies take each other out. Felt great to walk into the final showdown all powered up!
fun concept, laggy in browser but worked fine when i downloaded.
Thank you for playing! Yeah we didn’t realize how laggy it’d be in the browser and in retrospect I think I know a few places we could have tinkered.
Thanks for trying the non-browser version!
Lagged too much to play
This is awesome, can see some serious potential here, maps, upgrades, weapons, bots etc really cool.
Missing feedback and general polish but overall was fun to play
This could be awesome with other players!
Very laggy for me.
Felt really cool getting those huge upgrades, was a very nice surprise! Also love the models and animations! Nice job! :)
A bit of feedback missingfrom the game, but overall I find the idea interesting. I like the style, very clean. I an see a potential with the upgrade system.
Thank you for playing!
And :facepalm: we definitely felt some animation was missing there! And thanks too, we originally planned to have multiple bots with multiple upgrade paths / abilities. But some of that had to be shoved for later :')
