Polished experience with great art and sound! Good job!

Controls were a bit finicky, easy to accidentally pick up the wrong stuff. It also took me embarassingly long to figure out that the map could scroll up/down, not only left/right, which made the game kind of hard to begin with :-)

Pretty fun! I think the controls could use a bit of work, especially with the time constraints.

Nice concept. It took me ages to figure out how to play haha

Cool concept. Gameplay controls could use a bit of work. Snapping sound is brilliant!

Definitely building to scale. That's an diferente idea, love the application

After my 4th attempt I managed to finish the first robot in time, and after my 7th I managed to finish a big robot.  The snapping sound was great, but snapping sometimes got in the way when I didn't want it to snap. Really original take on the theme, really different than ours :) Nice work

Developer

Wow! I'm so glad you were able to finish the big robot. I worried a lot about the difficulty, and the snapping was the source of a lot of bugs. Thanks for playing!

Really interesting concept, seems like a game that could have some action-packed lore behind it.

I think the soundtrack fits very well! I think the game could use some more lore though, it's an interesting concept. When do the monsters show up?

Developer

Thank you! I wanted to imply that the monsters are getting closer and closer as more robots show up damaged, but I found it requiring a lot more artwork than I was able to produce. I've also seen a lot of cut-scenes this year, so I might try that in the future.
