Use of the limitation
The "robots" in my game lose their power, which leads to a higher score. This is how I interpreted "losing is good," I got this idea from reading the first Q&A answer.

I didn't have any cookies, but I did eat some Christmas candy ;)

Loved the color palette and sound and everything. I think I would have done the plug mechanic slightly differently. Check out my review of your game at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

The art and sound effects are great! I like the simple mechanics, although I could turn robots off from a long distance away from them. Also, the game reacting to my clicking on them seemed to want me to click on a  very specific spot, but even when I tried to adjust to that, it didn't always register.  The game could also benefit from having music. Well done on this!

Cool!

Nice game!

Nice use of implementation! The sounds were nice, but no music. The graphics were very nice, but the gameplay was pretty boring.

An interesting interpretation of the limitation. But the gameplay seems to be a little static... Really hope we can shoot the cable out lol

Really cute game!

The difficulty raise could've been a little faster, but I still liked playing it.

nice game! the graphics  and sound effects give a retro arcade vibe to the gameplay,  the challenges build up for some time, which gives a good learning curve,  background music would be nice, it would add to the player experience, overall enjoyed playing! keep it up!

Interesting take on the limitation! Is it weird my heart warmed seeing robots close their eyes when getting their power absorbed? I did notice I could take power from a good distance away (versus right up next to them). Not sure if this was a bug. Could've used some music though. Overall nice work!

I originally intended for the plug to extend outward towards the robot you clicked, so I can see how clicking far away from the player might be odd without it. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

I like the graphics and the simplicity. Perhaps some power-ups could make the game more challenging.

Fun, but it gets challenging way too slow, otherwise pretty fun.

I like such simple project

Very cute. With some sound/particle feedback (not much effort) it would improve it a lot!
