Awesome little game. Love the art style of the characters also with the added feature of being able to choose your character as well gives the game more choice and personality. All the menu elements are super slick and awesome to look at. Sound design for this game is also impressive, the shooting sound has impact to it just as you would expect. The music was very chill which is different for a fighting game however it reminds the player that it is a casual game to enjoy with friends. Overall a great submission well done guys you did yourselves proud!

An excellent game submission. The artwork was well made and fit the theme of the game very well. The UI elements were made incredibly well as well as the menus. The characters were well made and the ability to choose a character gives an incentive to play the game more. The sound design of the shooting and the attacks was really good. The music was also great for the game as even though it is a fighting game, it reminded me that it was still a casual game that you play with your friends.

Overall, an excellent game, especially given the time frame!

Awesome game, felt very professional especially with the addition of the options on the main menu, character and stage selection is also a very nice addition. Sound goes very well with the theme of robots fighting. Well done to your team for an awesome submission.

I'm going to give more professional and constructive feedback on the google form but all I'm going to say is that this is being added to my rotation of local multiplayer games because I wasted so much time playing this it's unreal. Probably my favourite game out of all three jams so far, you should be proud of yourselves.

Wow, thank you Dan! In that case I'll be sure to do some bug fixing and add a couple of features that I didn't have time to add. Glad you enjoyed!

Awesome submission! plays very well with a concrete art style. The players had multiple ways to play and defend themselves which lead to very tense game play making it very exciting and leaving me wanting more. The choice of environment and playable character was a nice added touch which gave variety and replay ability. Very solid submission that the whole team should be proud of!

This game was really good, and well polished. This was a really well done job.

This game kept me entertained for a while. I really enjoyed this game.

It felt very smooth, and was really cool that you had numerous characters, rather than just one fixed character!

I like how there was multiple battle fields, and how the robots all had different types of fighting styles. Nice job! Be proud!

A really unique fighter that was fun to play. The main menu design was very clean and aesthetically pleasing with a good amount of inter activeness and a nice touch with being able to change the controls to your liking. The game itself felt very smooth and having a variety of characters was a good touch to the game and can easily get very competitive when playing with friends. Overall a really good job.

This is a really good fighter, I have to say. Everything from the graphics to the sound effects, from the different characters to the different stages. This game is polished enough to be considered "marketable", in my opinion, with the biggest deviation from a marketable state being that there are a couple of bugs at the end of the rounds. With a bit of work on this, adding a couple of characters and stages maybe, and working out the issues in the code, I could definitely see this on the market.

The overall visual design of this game is verry good from the menus to the overall character design it's clear that alot of effort was put into this. One thing I like alot is the character selection, most other games have the characters locked but this game actually has multiple characters which is a nice change. The gameplay was fun and tense at times when playing with mates, which is good. Great game, you guys did a good job.

A very impressive submission, with good visuals and audio complimented by tight and responsive gameplay. Very well polished with a lot of customizability, you even had the option to change your key bindings; extremely useful! I think with some more work on things like animation and balancing and this is a game that I could see placed on a marketplace.

There were a couple of bugs I encountered, particularly surrounding the end screen if both characters died simultaneously which perhaps could have been found through playtesting. Remember to test your game by attempting to break it in as many ways as possible. Another point of note was regarding balancing, as it felt like the faster character was significantly weaker than the other two because of the smaller health pool and the higher mobility doesn't come into play too much in close range combat, especially against the slower robot. 

Overall, this is strong submission with very few problems encountered and kept me fairly engaged for a while. It's clear that a lot of work went into this and ensuring that the game had a high level of polish and variety that paid off, and resulted in a great game. Well done!

Bloody hell they've only gone and bloody done it :P Amazing game - just wow. It looks so professional and it was so much fun to play.  The amount of features you put in it was astounding. I also love the bouncing robot on the start screen I thought it was pretty cool ngl.  You should be so proud it's so good!!!!

You made me want to actually get a friend over and play this for a bit. This game is really fun!

Everything from the sound design, music, gameplay and visual style is top-notch. There's very little that I feel could be improved with this game aside from simply adding more of it! While I only played the game by myself, I was extremely impressed with how obvious it was that each character plays differently and actually have different attack strengths and movement speeds.

If there's anything I think the game could maybe use, it's a pause screen, as pressing escape mid-game takes you back to the main menu. While this is a minor nitpick, it's the only thing I can think of that the game could potentially benefit from having.

Be proud of this submission - it's extremely fun to play. Well done!!

This game is so good! The gameplay is really smooth and polished, the art is well made and looks really good, all round great game. I really like the shooting and block feature and how you can aim the block. Also the character selection is really cool. Good Job!

A great game, liked the overall style and sound effects used within this from the menu to the main game music which its nice to have different sounds for each, liked that you had an options and controls menu so that we know how to play the game and having multiple levels and characters really made it stand out, I would of liked to of tried this against a bot instead of player v player but having this makes it more interesting playing against friends or relatives and the timer making it more challenging to beat your opponent as quickly as possible, great job overall!
