Visuals are fine enough. The old man has a really nice walking animation. I walked into an enemy just to here that "ah" ^^
Gameplay is excelent.

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Matches the theme. Presentation could use improvement, but the core gameplay is pretty fun :)

To be completely honest... the visuals and audio are nothing to write home about, but the gameplay... you really hit the nail there. Would probably more fun if I'd play a more agile character that's able to do dodge rolls, but still it kept me playing until I saw the "You win" text! Great job! :D

Developer

Thank you. We both are coders, so visuals and sounds are not our specialties. I am not sad about how they turned out though!

Submitted(+1)

That shoudn't be a problem, just wanted to tell you. Despite the graphics and sounds it kept me hooked. And if that's not your strong sides, I guess either just work on it and you'll get better or you can always use free asset packs ;D

Developer

absolutely. Our goal was to make the game ourselves and not use anything that wasnt ours for this jam.

Simple and fun! I really like this one! It was super satisfying to see my AI friend becoming stronger and one-shotting everything xD I wish you could keep playing after winning, but that's an extra! The only problem I had was that the enemies spawn outside our view, so the ones that shot lasers could hit you if you are too close to the extremities. And also, some music would add a lot to it! Besides that, great game ^^

Hi Solanum! You actually can continue playing after you win! Instead of clicking "Retry" select "Continue". This will allow you to finish your current run and see how far you can go! I was able to make it to wave 26 as my highest, see if you can match or beat it! :D

Very simple to play and easy to understand! Just needs some more polishing on the gameplay, especially on the "open shop" menu part, since I tend to use other alternative hotkeys to close the menu.

Nevertheless, a very good solid game!

This was really fun game to play!
I wish to I could continue after winning with more upgrades.
overall really addicting gameplay
great stuff!

Developer

Future gameplay features can be added! This is what we were able to get complete for this jam though. :)

found my new favorite

Developer

This means a lot, thank you my friend!

Submitted(+2)

I enjoyed the game a lot. It's a great idea. The only thing I can think of to change is normalizing movement speed (when you move diagonally, it moves faster than moving in only one direction). Great job!

Developer

Haha funny enough, I noticed this as well. For some reason we decided to leave it in, but I agree it should have been resolved :)

Great idea and visuals! Well done!

nice gameplay loop

Submitted(+1)

Great game! I had a blast playing it! Congratulations!

I like the risk and reward system of having to get close to the robots to lure them into the firing range of your robot! I would still like for there to be a way to regenerate health, like walking. Nice game!

Developer

I REALLY wanted to put in a way to recover health outside of the talent, but we decided to have it be a tradeoff for lategame. I do agree, there absolutely needs to be a way to passively heal without getting the talent. This is something we can think about if we continue this project after the game jam :) 

Submitted

Cool!

Love the gameplay but the sound is just amazing, Good job !

Submitted(+2)

This game is very well thought and is really fun to play!
I wish it had controller support though. Art is cute and audio is really well made!
Extra kudos for letting the player continue after beating the 10th boss.

Developer(+1)

controller support was somthing I really wanted to put in, but we just ran out of time. It should be a really easy addition once the jam is over :) 

Submitted(+1)

Very nice game with lots of amazing lore! if you could improve visual and sound, you could make your game even better!

Submitted(+1)

I loved this game! It's really fun, if feels very balanced and fair, and I love the way the upgrade system works! One of the only Wowie Jam games I've actually replayed after winning, and I could definitely see a future for this if it was more polished and expanded upon.

Also, in a way, it's kinda similar to the game we made! It feels like we had a similar initial idea but went on different directions. Would love if you checked it out!

Developer(+1)

Boecharts, really happy to hear you felt encouraged to play again. Our goal was to find a way for the player to want to try different builds :) 

Submitted(+2)

I liked this game a lot! It's great fun and the difficulty curve is quite good. I also really liked the later incentive to stay close to the robot so you get healed. The sound effects are very well made too!

Developer

Thanks my friend! I made all of the sounds (minus the music loop) with my mouth and VoiceMod application :) 

Submitted

I noticed they were very mouthy, but I liked that a lot about them!

Submitted(+2)

really cool the game works great the art could use some work but honestly this is very cool for a 3-day time limit!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Submitted(+2)

Like the unique enemy designs, The upgrade system is quite cool and  it has a great difficulty curve

overall nice game tho I would change the graphic style to a more pixelated one

Developer

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!
