Damn some of the levels are brutal!!! haha loved it, had a ton of fun. The sprites are really nice and all the little details (like the security cameras) are lovely. As i said some levels are quite brutal and took me a good while to get through haha, i like hard games. Maybe a teensy-weensy too hard some levels, but after some tries you figure out what's the best way to get through. Really enjoyed it, good job :D

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! And yeah, I should have definitely balanced the difficulty a little bit better but I’m extremely glad you enjoyed nonetheless!

Really nice game! Both visuals and gameplay are really cool and entertaining. The only problems are found are difficulty getting too high too soon (at least for me haha) and that camera movement could be a bit slower to not look so snappy. Overall tho, great submission!

Apologies for the difficulty, the game could have certainly done with a bit more balancing. Thank you for playing nonetheless!

Wow there is a hidden gem just need some polishing. Your game idea and execution is really good. I really liked all of the details, i don't know where to start :D Firstly that little security cameras were really good idea, i very liked it. Secondly the fact player doesn't matter for the lose condition. Only thing that matters is Big Brother.  It really makes good addition to game loop. You can spawn back to your "brother" to kill more robots. Another thing that I liked, this is not a just top-down shooter. It is actually RTS! At first I though this is basic top-down shooter but you surprised me, good job! Last but not least, I really appreciated your effort on enemy robot AIs. If you distract them they will follow you like 3-4 seconds then they will return to their own business. Little detail but it's the perfection that this game needs.

The only problem I encountered is 4th level was so hard for me. I really tried too many times, tried different strategies, but still I am not able to pass it. I wish I can see more levels.

And if you need a feedback for after jam version, you can make player character's movement more smooth. It looks little bit weird with the other perfectly moving characters. I think its because camera movement.

Really good job! I am looking forward for after-jam version. Underrated game, 10/10. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback, I really appreciate it! An after-jam version is definitely something I’d like to work on, so keep an eye out ;)

post-jam version may happen
just wait and see ;)

Wow, such a cool game! I really like the main mechanic and the movement feels amazing, so smooth yet chunky! I also love the pixelated option, really cool. 

Deserves more ratings, really awesome game!

Well done :D

Good Game!

I love the pixelated look you have! The idea is really cool, although I still havn’t found the strategy on how to play the game properly, I kinda goes in, spam and hope for the best ^^ I really appreciate the fact that you did the music yourselves. I like it!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

As for strategy, there’s a few different ways to go about it but spamming is probably the easiest. Perhaps if I had more time I could have balanced the game a bit better :P

Glad you enjoyed it :)

So far the best game of the Jam I've played. Fun, engaging gameplay, and on topic. I like the idea and how it's implemented.

Congratulations on your submission!

Developer

Thank you very much! That’s high praise :D

Really interesting mechanic with big brother, well polished too. He did get permanently stuck at one point and I had to restart the game, other than that fun game!

Developer (1 edit)

Ah, sorry to hear he got stuck, I would upload a bug-fix but uploads are frozen :/

Thanks for playing though, and glad you found it fun!
