Great work putting this together! As others have said, the controls were a bit cumbersome - the action button could have been the same for all characters. A little bit more readability on what 'wins' the level would have been useful as well. Awesome job!
great concept! the laser place i wasn't able to jump across the stacks of box but was able to after i move some of them. the controls might be a little weird but maybe you could stick to one key for combine and one for splitting!
Amazing concept, reminds me very much of The Lost Vikings, and the additional twist of fusing the robots for additional abilities makes it very interesting.
Unfortunately I got stuck at the laser from the ceiling and couldn't figure out how to go forward; fusing the green and blue bot allows those two to pass the laser, but the red one was always left behind and got killed. Not sure if I missed something, or if it's a bug/incomplete feature.
In short, very nice concept, with some work on the ui/controls side, it could be a very nice game!
I think the controls are a bit confusing, maybe make a UI that helps us remember which button to press, but this concept is amazing and really flexible! Maybe u can also add a feature where u can control the other robots (make them stand still or follow u), Loved the art, but I think the game needed a background song and the SFX could be better, I really loved it though and had fun, amazing idea and nice execution! Well done :D
Cool and underrated game!
The controls are a bit confusing and some things aren't very polished, but i still liked it, it's a great concept! The robots being able to fuse and combine their abilities is an interesting idea
Keep it up!
The screen ratio is a little too big to make it extremly annoying, and the controls are very annoying.
Sorry you had this experience. Our programmer got sick in the last two days unfortunately so we couldn't do these little fixes .
super cool game, sadly not enough ratings!
Okay this premise is just awesome. I kind of thought that the name was just a gimmick, but was blown away when I realized the three robots actually can combine their abilities in different ways by fusing. The artwork is also really good and has that retro megaman feel to it.
A couple things I think kept it from being really amazing. The controls were a bit confusing, I think that each robot’s ability would be better if it used the same key. I had to keep trying to remember J for shoot, k for shield, etc. And the bot AI was a little janky. Most of the time they would clump together and I would fuse with the wrong robot. I think it would maybe be better if the robots didn’t move on their own at all? Not sure, maybe there’s another solution. I think these problems are super fixable without losing too much if what you already have, and I really hope you can work out the kinks, because I would easily pay money for a game like this, with the art and sound quality at its current level of polish.
Thanks for sharing this and good luck in the rest of rating. I’m sorry you only have four ratings, this deserves way more. I’m posting it in the Brackeys discord so it hopefully gets more attention. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
Thanks a bunch man, we appreciate your thorough review of the game, it is really helpful.
There are a lot of things that could've been clearer, better and less buggy but sadly our programmer got pretty sick in the last two days. We thought we wouldn't make it but glad we could publish it in time and got some useful feedback from you guys <3
And hey thank you so much for sharing the game. We'll definitely try yours and make sure we leave a proper feedback.
I loved the idea of merging the bots together! great jo, really enjoyed playing this game!
This is a piece of art, very underrated. You have to be very proud of your work
Thank you so much, your comment made us happy about our work <3
That's pretty cool. I like how the robots can merge together.
ikr! :D
Big fan of the robot combinations, a three-in-one merge would be awesome (or perhaps I missed it?).
We had that in mind! but sadly there was too little time to implement it and our programmer got sick in the last two days unfortunately.
Thanks for rating the game.
