I really liked it a lot! Really captured the old arcade feel to it, well detailed pixel animations, and even had a nice narrative to boot.

If I make a mistake at the start, I won't be able to progress. It got to a point that I was blasted by the robots even before I could move away. And I even don't get what to do to win. Although the style is pretty good

Hi, sorry about that, I'm adding a timer, so the robots won't res for a period of time giving the player a chance to move to a safer area before the enemy becomes dangerous.

Not sure if its deliberate but the last 3 lives in this game dont give me a chance to move as i am blasted by 2 robots at a time, maybe a small invinsibility at the start would make this more fair, but in regards to the game i like the aesthetic and it matches the theme very well

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, that's a really good idea, on releasing it, I'm starting to realize that the game might be too unforgiving, and if you die near the start of the level you are likely to die again and again, giving the player a f ew seconds of invincibility would make it allot more fair and enjoyable.
