When the theme was released I was worried that many games would be made along the lines of "Lose control at random moments". I genuinely thought that these mechanics would be annoying, but your game has proven me wrong.
I enjoy how by removing certain elements causes you to change your play style a lot, like when you lose control of shooting you focus more on dodging or losing control of aim makes you need to time your shots.
Further improvements could possibly be having sound be a part in knowing what or where obstacles are coming from.
Overall really good! Lots of potential for a larger project.
I usually have a problem with the games being too hard for me, however this time around, I find a bit too easy funnily enough.
I enjoyed it though! I really liked the presentation, with the controls at the bottom, the addition of suddenly dropping the music is genius! It's such a simple addition, but it enhances the feel of the game. I wonder which other game aspects you might couple into the AI's subroutines that you could switch on and off?

Take One For The ThemeOMG, at first I was thinking how did this game fit the theme, but then I lost control over everything. Great game. Very fun.

Game Dev The Game: InceptionVery well visually presented and satisfying to play, the in-game button display is amazing! Gameplay wise it needs a bit faster difficulty ramp, bigger playing area and a few different monsters.

Terminal HellocityNice art style! Are the interactions of the AI purely random, or is it based on enemy presence?

Edge of InfluenceCould use some kind of difficulty ramp to keep things interesting, but definitely a cute game with pleasant music to boot!

Planetary ParkingFun concept and visuals. I really love this interpretation of the theme. Also... you have a button dedicated to the robot making a beep noice... PERFECT

TheExperiment(2020GMTKJam)Fun take on the theme! I really like the design of the control panel, looks very polished. I especially love the fact that the buttons use push animations whenever you press the corresponding key. The game itself could be a bit more challenging. Well done!

Crashing CommuteThe art style is very cool, and the game feels very smooth! I like the idea, it's a little similar to our game! The only thing I wanted was for it to be more challenging! Great job!

Backseat BeebowNice concept. Loved the art. This game was just filled to the brim with polish.

Button BreakersI think this really took charge of the theme well. The UI at the bottom was really cool but took up more of the screen than I would have liked I think. I wish there was a way to make the robot obey me more! But welldone :) Nice style
