  • This game has a very solid core concept. I personally feel that there are number of changes that could be made to really bring the most out the idea.

    The menu screen and screenshots clearly show a a bright and stylised cast of robots in a cartoony junkyard. It's a shame that this doesn't carry across into a game with a top-down perspective! It could potentially work top-down, but the camera is far too zoomed out to be able to see all those nice art assets in action.

    I feel that an over-the-shoulder perspective in splitscreen would bring a lot more fun to the framework that you've laid out over this weekend. The inability for players to catch up with each other once someone with a piece of junk gets ahead of the pack takes a lot of the oomph out of what could be a chaotic 4-player game, but slowing the players with held junk down and allowing them to hide behind piles of junk due to the 3rd person perspective could add a huge amount of fun to the game. More than anything I just want to see that art up close as it's a really strong aspect of the game!

    There is some good work evident here, especially considering it was done in a single weekend, and I hope to see this game shaped up with a little more work outside of Jamfuzer. Keep at it!

  • It's on the way to being something. I think a bit more work needs to be done on the robots (speed, weapons, etc) and it needs to be made a bit clearer in game what you are trying to do. On the way though

  • It's evident that the team worked hard to create a competitive experience which encourages player interaction and applies stakes to winning the game. I think some tweaking and balancing could have been applied to the movement to keep the gameplay fun and reactive, but considering the time frame involved I think it's great that the team have established a clear goal with an end state for the game.
