I liked the art of the game, I liked the unique idea of game and also I liked the sound effect (Wowie) and music. The game is easy to understand for me. My high Score: 68  Overall Awesome Game :)

Developer

Thanks! Nice high score! My high score isn't much higher then that(;

Our games are very similar, I liked your take on the genre and I am a huge fan of your enemy design and art! The color pallete flows well and the gameplay loop is addicting! Great work :) I would love your feedback on what I can improve on Frogue Legacy since our games are so similar!

Developer

Thanks! I'll soon check it out

5/5 for sounds that's for sure ;) But other then that it's a fun little game. It's simple but affective. I feel like either the speed of the player could be tweaked, or the player could be given more health. Still, really fun!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Very striking and unique visuals, the bot hound is really responsive which I appreciate, I just wish it would stay on the screen a little more though, I found myself fruitlessly chasing it as it went on it's mad endless dashes more often than not.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure how to fix that. If I will brute-force it to stay on screen it would be a bit weird and annoying. Maybe increasing the screen size will help but when I played with it in the jam I didn't like the result. - If you have an idea how to do that I would like to hear it

I  regret not having this idea for my game :(

Pretty art, love the sprites! Wowie indeed!

Developer

Thanks!

Pretty fun! I love the spritework, they look really cool and I love the way they move. Overall game feel is also pretty good and satisfying! My biggest criticism would be the Wowie sound, as it does get pretty annoying. But nice work! I can see it being expanded, maybe even with other robot types.

Developer

Thanks! I agree about the wowie sound.

We came up with the same idea reversed! You chose the target the ai kills, my ai chooses the target i kill! Needless to say, great minds think alike. Genius work, and fun to play!

Developer

Lol, when I played yours I didn't realize how similar the ideas are! Thanks!

Iol, I laugh, good job! Next time try to vary a little bit on sound effects :P. Concept is really nice

Developer

Great to hear loughed! Thanks! the sound effects are a problem I'm aware of and probably will keep encountering in the future

I absolutely HATE the WOWIE  sounds that happen whenever you do anything, it's too loud and it's very annoying, would have done you much better to have bfxr sound effects

Developer

Yeah, I know, it kinda started to annoy me too. I really wanted to change it but when I noticed it I didn't have time. I tried making sound effects myself and in bfxr and I couldn't make anything that fit. I also tried changing the volume and couldn't find a volume. at the time I thought it could be funny and add some wowie to the game.
