Developer

Great game! I used to love playing PvZ on my phone when I was forced to be somewhere I didn't wanna be as a kid! Like some other people here, I had an issue in the first few levels where some tiles at the bottom just didn't let me place a robot, but it seemed to sort out later, or perhaps I just stopped causing whatever caused the issue. I think the first few levels in general are a bit confusing, I was pretty lost on what I was doing, what each robot did, etc. And that is my fault bc I didn't wanna read everything in the almanac. But I'm actually glad I didn't, because I was pleasantly surprised as new enemies kept showing up as I progressed through the levels! And I think their designs were intuitive enough for me to figure out how to deal with them all on my own! I had a blast after about level 2, once things started picking up and I got into the flow of things, really fun game!!!

It's so sweet that you even shared your anecdote with us; it actually made very happy to read it, i like sm that you could enjoy our game that way cx

I'm actually taking a lot of notes; i think getting more testers might be a good idea for our next jam. But thinking about it, I think we should start doing a better job when making tutorials xD

Tysm again, i love your entry btw <3

Submitted(+2)

Its definitely  a fun little game and it has that flash era charm to it thats for sure games that youll see in y8 or something

Developer

tysm twin!!

I really enjoyed the game. The music and art were amazing too. Though I was having an issue getting stuff to place with it usually taking a few clicks, probably because I was missing the hitbox.  So maybe you could make it too where while hovering over the tiles it snaps to the nearest tile for easier placement. Though I think it might have just been a skill issue on my end.

Developer

Wait, that solution is actually super brilliant... damn bro, how come I didn't think of it? x0

And tysm twin!!  <3

Cool game! It was very plants v zombies-esque which def fit the theme of simpler times cause it was a classic game when I was younger. Keep it up!

Developer

tysm fr! im so glad that you like it <3

Submitted(+2)

zombies vs plants for game jam, and you're good ) I've been enjoying a couple of levels, so good job!

Developer

tbh, I was expecting someone to make smt like Angry Birds, or smt like that at some point, but I'm glad I didn't actually guess what any game would be like at the end xD

ty!!

I loved the visual style — it looks really great. Plant vs. Zombies wasn’t even this challenging. It turned out to be a very cute yet challenging game, and I loved it. There was probably a strange bug: on level 1, I couldn’t build on some tiles. I had enough energy, but it still wouldn’t let me build.

Developer(+1)

tysm!! :DD

I must admit I'm surprised there are fewer bugs than I thought there would be xd

Submitted(+2)

absolute bonkers of a game! amazing art style, although i had some trouble figuring out abt the game in tutorial but i could just be dumb, after i got the hang of it, i had very fun continuing with the game. You did an amazing job man!

Developer(+1)

im so glad that you like it, twin!! the tutorial can be a little weird, but im so happy that you could enjoy it, tysm xD

Submitted(+2)

broooo you game is fire

Developer(+2)

lol we didnt even see that glitch in our lives!! xD

but tysm, we can fix that really quick!

Submitted(+2)

Really nice game! Reminds me of Plants vs Zombies. Really liked that game and like this one too. I did struggle to figure out what the bat is for though. Couldn't use it? Anyway, the music is fitting, the art is great, and the experience is awesome. Well done with this submission as your first game jam! 

Developer(+2)

The bat is actually the Shovel equivalent! and tysm fr :D

Submitted(+2)

It was a great game!! I really liked the artstyle, and the gameplay. Im not sure if this is your first jam or first game, but honestly I think you did a great job!!

Developer(+1)

hmm, it's weird to say, but 50/50. Theo and I have been individually trying to create games since last year, projects we haven't finished yet or that we'll pick up again when we're better devs. Neither of us has actually finished a game until now, when we finished our submission. Robo Rush R is our only public and finished game XD. Before, we did things like FNF mods and other mod stuff. For example, I made personal TBOI mods just for fun. we gained more experience from there. we each knew about art, music, and programming, but we divided up the work according to our specializations, and we had a very enjoyable workflow, developing from morning until the very late night lol while helping our families and keeping in touch with our closest relationships, like our partners and closest friends. Telling your loved ones what you're doing and involving them in what you love to do makes them feel included and an important part of what you're creating. When we finally launched the game and saw it on the submission list, I was super happy and celebrated with our friends on voice chat. My family heard us celebrating, so right there on the voice chat, they congratulated me and gave me a hug. It was such a beautiful experience, honestly. I'm already looking forward to participating in another jam, for real XD

I think I talked too much, lol! tysm Tain!

Great game I love PvZ so this is right up my alley. I love the hand drawn visuals and the music. I really like the sound effects too I laughed the first time I heard the robot delete sound. Also cool to see another gamemaker user.

Bro just made a better PVZ but I suck at PVZ. The Argument of it being simpler time because we all played flash games i dont understand but besides that overall 4/5

Developer

BETTER PVZ?!?!? NAH, ROBO RUSH R ITS NOT THAT GOOD BUT THANK YOU SM, TWIN

Since this was based of PVZ I thought it was going to be a exact clone to the original but its great that it has a different identity compared to PVZ. The enemy variety was good maybe the ice cube could be a bit stronger. The defenses aren't just exactly all copies from PVZ like peashooter, sunflower a few had their own gimmick. I would say that maybe the end of the level drags on to much and isn't threatening. Maybe the explosive (Buk) cost could be increased, have a cooldown, or have a nerf in overall power. He feels to spammable like a really cheap doom shroom. But these issues are easily fixable. And I will say I was obsessed with PVZ and PVZ like games as a kid so this was fun to play.

Tyy! I'll take notes in case we do a possible new update! :b
