Really nice and fun game! There was a lot of reading to do in the how to play though, and it was really annoying to get stuck between your robots. Overall though, amazing game! Very polished as well!

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun! The art was really unique, it had a great color palette and atmosphere and I really liked the animations. It was really satisfying to grind for more money and buy robots. I sometimes felt overwhelmed, with all the robot UI. I didn't know what each weapon icon meant and I got lost between all the different pop up menus, all while the action was still going on, which was not helping. Also, the enemy intros are SICK, but please either slow time, stop time, or make the player invincible during these, because they hide the player's view while enemy collisions could happen. Great job, it fits really well with the theme :))))

It's a really good game! But I really think the amount of Monsters should be less and slower. 

In my first try, I just ran away constantly and couldn't get to any shop without getting severe damage.. 

In my second try, I knew what I had to do, so I bought a lot of weapons constantly, but I still got crushed at the end, because monsters came from all sides and I couldn't move anymore. So the same problem again..

I still really liked the concept and had a lot of fun! The graphics are fantastic for a game made in 3 days and the Music is really good! ^^

I'd love to see this game in a more polished or even finished state after the jam is over!

Thankyou! Yeah it can a bit challenging at first for sure, we plan on making it to where the monsters don't swarm you as badly by getting rid of their collisions.

(also thankyou for liking my music! Your game's music is so friggen good gjkfsdhjkgdfsjkghds)

A great Idea. The only problem is that most of the time I just ran away from the enemies while all my turrets got stuck in them. maybe they shouldn't have a hitbox. But otherwise really well made.

Developer(+2)

Haha yeah that can for sure happen right now, we're definitely considering making it where turrets and enemies don't collide as it seems to be a common grievance :D

Nice game. At times I felt I did have any time to make a robot because of how many enemies there where. And when I tried to change the bot's tactics, I don't think it worked... It looks and sounds nice though, nice game!

The graphics are amazing and the music and sound is nice (though the coin pickup sound could be a bit louder). The game is fun and I think the concept is really cool. My biggest problems with the game are that it does drag on a bit (It's not too bad if you nail it first try but I wouldn't replay it if I died halfway through), and using the turrets effectively is really hard. I think it could help a lot if the turrets were simplified a bit and made to be a lot more powerful. Otherwise it's just better to run around the monsters until time runs out. But with that being said, the game really does have awesome art and the concept of managing turrets to fight for you is really cool.

This game is great! The visuals, sounds, gameplay - everything is really good. My only real problem was the pacing. Everything moves so fast that it is hard to explore all the customization options for the bot building. It would help a lot if there was an option to pause the world when in any sort of menu (i.e construction, targeting options). Still, very well done on this one :)

Great visuals, fun gameplay, clever title, and a unique take on tower defense. I liked the new enemy reveal screens. I did encounter 2 small issues with 1 gameplay issue, first, on a widescreen most of the UI goes off the screen, but I was able to change my resolution down to 1920x1080, and second, once I got to the last 60ish seconds, the game was running at about 4 fps, but that might be because I had 20 3 stack grenade launchers. Then the issue with gameplay isn't that important, but I felt that I wasn't able to use the robots close/far/strong/etc. due to the fact that I would have to set it for each individual gun (unless I missed something that allowed multi-editing), and I didn't really want to have to manually set 60 guns, while also being attacked by the undead. Other than those 3 things, it was a really great game!

I love this! Such a fun idea and executed very well! It took me a while to figure it out, but it is very fun and satisfying to build a bunch of robots and get them all following you around. The art style is excellent and it fits the theme very well. Overall a solid entry!!

Nice visuals <3 :))

this game is awesome and i had a blast playing it!


pls make a polished version of this!

(i mean like with intuitive ui and stuff)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! We'll definitely continue development, this was really fun to make!

Liked this game, especially the visuals and the music, the music is just a banger, other than the bug where i was stuck between enemies the game is really good, you guys can be proud of yourself. Maybe rework the tutorial a bit because there was a lot of text to read at first and thats never something players want to see, but other than that, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! Yeah, the enemy collision is a big issue that we're looking into fixing, and the tutorial was made in the last 15 minutes before posting, so it came out a little rushed, haha! We're definitely going to continue development, this was really fun to make. Glad you had fun!

Heya I'm the composer and one of the artists, thankyou so much! I'm also pretty happy with how the music came out!

Submitted(+1)

it just adds another great layer to the game and the overall feel, you guys did great!

Submitted(+1)

It's crazy to see how similar, yet different our tower defense games are! I really enjoyed the simplicity. The music and art style fit really well together! The only thing that would've made it better for me was a more straightforward tutorial and descriptions on the different upgrades for the turrets. Great job

Developer

Thank you for playing! The tutorial and descriptions will definitely be reworked in the future!

Love the graphics and the music, the instructions are too long and confusing for a simple concept.

Also I died by getting stuck between the enemies lol... 

Developer

Thank you for playing! The tutorial was a bit rushed because we only had the final 15 minutes to work on it, so it's definitely something we're going to work on in the future. The "getting stuck" issue is also a big priority to fix, and we're working on a few possible solutions. Glad that you had fun though!

I love the graphics!!!! Besides, its a diffrent tower defends game because what robots have to defend is the player, which moves around the map. Also, I think is a good idea to throw the robots clicking the mouse. But it has been hard for me this game

Developer

Thank you for playing, we're happy you liked it!!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool concept!! I love all the art and the customization of the turrets is really fun :)

Unfortunately I got stuck between enemies and couldn't move, so I just died :')

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!

That was great to play! Absolutely loved the art and effects, much thanks to the guy that spend an unreasonable amount of time on the explosion!

Description of what the bots do or how you make a triple stack for example would've been great.

The main menu is also sick, only toned done a little bit by the plain pink background of the popup windows, when clicking on options etc.

Edit: I just saw the GIF here on the page and saw that your title was moving in it, that should be happening in the main menu as well :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the review! Better robot-building descriptions and instructions are definitely on our to-do list! We're really happy you like the game (and I'm especially happy that you liked the explosions I spent an unreasonable amount of time with lol)

Awesome game! the visuals were fantastic <3 The tutorial was abit long and confusing but i dived in and it was brilliant ! good stuff , this is something to be proud of :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the review!

Great game! I found buying robots and updating their settings a bit difficult with all the monster around me. Also, the monsters behavior could have some variation.

The monster warning screen (although pretty cool looking!) it should pause the game since there will be still monsters around me trying to get me.

Art is awesome, loved the animations in the title screen. Music was also on point (although mid game it paused an resumed randomly for me).

I managed to go as low as 50 seconds left in this great and polished game. Congrats! You should feel proud of this!
