Really cool art and quite the challenge to make these robots platform. It's been fun to play!

Developer(+1)

The robots go kind of crazy when they are on a platform directly above you, but working on it. Thanks for the comment!

Submitted

I loved the game idea and the mechanics, this is so cool!

Btw, there is a bug somewhere in the game where the enemies start to spawn very very fast that the game crashes and the player doesn't die (look at the screenshot)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the screenshot. I forgot to fix the no damage when standing on top of the robots issue! Definitely need to put a spawn limit in there to avoid crashes.

Submitted

Fun game with responsive controls! I had the same situation as the commenter below where the screen got flooded with enemies and I got pushed out of the map. You did a great job with the art assets! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the comment, I spent more time than planned on the controls because I wanted them to feel right. However that didn't leave much time for polish and bug fixes!

Hey! Liked the game :) I managed to survive to a point that the floor was so crowded and the game began to slow down. My character fell off the game so I was under the floor on this screenshot :) Maybe you should diversify the gameplay with healing. And what can I do with the cogs? Did you survive the Zombie Trapper?

Sorry itch won't let me upload my screenshot, sorry about that :(

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I didn't think to put a limit in the spawn for the enemies because the original plan was for the cogs to get you to the next level. But I should add something like that just to be safe in the future. Or a time limit. Thanks for the feedback

Submitted

First of all congrats for creating your visual assets: player, enemy, background! It's awesome. Nice atmosphere!
The enemies seem to struggle with purchasing the player when you get to the higher level of the screen.
Also the collecting Cogs is a good idea but does that do anything once the bar is full?

Developer

The cogs were going to take you to the next level, unfortunately I did something at the last minute and that part doesn't work! Thanks for the input about getting up high, maybe a couple more platforms so the player can't hide.

The game offers a unique and engaging experience, with its captivating artwork and solid mechanics. It’s quite enjoyable and well-executed. Great job!

Great job with this one! the art is seriously awesome, and its fun to play. also apparently ctrl+d saves a bookmark for the page so that happened a few times while shooting and moving lol 

Developer

Hey, I learned a new shortcut! Web games may have some extra things that I need to think of. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome art!! I'll admit I was hoping for a grappling hook mechanic, but this game has great style, well done!

Developer(+1)

I was hoping for that too but time got the best of me. Version 2...

Submitted

This was playable fun. Great entry!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

Nice art! Very strong mechanics. I like where this is headed.

Developer

Glad you liked it!

Submitted

Great Job! Love the music!

Developer

Thanks! I still need to work on the loop a bit more but I didn't realise how short 10 days was

Submitted

Loved the visuals! I also seemed to be invincible. At one point I just stopped moving and had a pile of enemies on me but was still alive. Overall great job!

Developer(+1)

I kind of like the invincible mode. Makes it weird but satisfying to obliterate robots!

Submitted

Nice arts!

Developer

Thanks! I think I lost a bit too much time on that. I would have love to get a few more enemies in there in time

Submitted

Broke the game and became invincible. lol. like the art style and concept. good job

Developer

I'm just happy it was still playable. I still haven't worked out how I broke it so may have to rebuild!

Submitted

Very cool game loved the art !

Developer

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
