Well I'm not super how it fits the theme, but it's got some nice audio, some decent visuals and what seems to be a accuracy based or rhythm based shooting mechanic?  Which could be interesting, though unfortunately it tends to just sit in the red for AWHILE which meant that I basically just kept clicking and tried to use whatever bullets I could get to kill stuff. 

Since they don't deal that much more damage if any when I shoot them in the tiny green window that is available compared to just hitting them normally.  I can somewhat understand trying to make it give better accuracy but I think rewarding it rather than punishing missing it is probably a better way to handle it.  Say, double damage when firing in the green area etc.

One weird thing as well is the fact that there doesn't seem to be a health bar?  Which was a bit weird to see, made the health pickups a lot less impactful than I think they would've been if II had been able to see the bar go up.  

Overall though, an interesting game, some nice visuals and a good basis for a top down, I guess bullet hell(?)

Yeah, I'm working on a cooldown so people cannot just keep shooting. Thanks for an honest feedback! I will get those bugs fixed pretty soon so it will be much better to play. The health shows when player gets hit by robots bullet or goes in collision that's that red text on the good robot that shows. And when you pick up the Floppy Drive it sets that text to green and says how much health you got then. The up was pretty clogged up so I came with that idea for the health.

It's a fairly decent idea put together into a nice game, also fitting the theme quite well. I loved especially the graphics as they had that kind of 'futuristic' look, but I hated the fact that the gun shoots in somewhat unexpected directions. I'm not sure if this was a bug or made by design, but that, quite honestly, ruined the game experience for me. Also, I'm not sure what that red-yellow-green bar at the south-west corner of the screen was all about.

Nonetheless, it's a fairly fun and decent game and as I stated before, the graphics and art are lovely and definitely the best part of this package : ).

So, the whole point of the game is for the player to wait for the arrow in the shooting bar acuraccy to be on Green, then you would shoot directly in the line.

But thanks for a comment!
