My game is similar to this, but your mechanics make me very happy
I think this is top 3 in terms of our favorite Wowie game jam games. Keep it up!
I really like the upgrade system, you added a lot of variety to the bot. Him protecting the old man was a nice touch visually as well. I think the upgrades could scale a little faster cause it gets pretty hard pretty fast. Other than that great job!
Super cool, looks like it would be addictive lol
I had a lot of fun playing the game, personally I wish it told you how many enemies you killed at the end. I chose to continue after I defeated the bosses, and having the feedback of how well I did would have been a bonus
Thanks for the feedback! We thought the boss kill count served roughly this same purpose, but agreed it would be better to see a breakdown by type and total count :)
I love the idea, it's got a very addicting game loop that kept me engaged whilst playing and I thought it did a good job at providing player feedback where necessary. Very fun game :)
Nice! I with there was a way to upgrade without clicking the button, I liked how the robot had a mind of its own and the interplay between the player and robot were great. Also cool upgrade system.
Simple and addicting I loved it
Awesome! I love your choice of main character, not many games allow you to play as a 76-year-old old man fighting hordes of robots, haha. I guess your game is actually pretty similar to mine in that regard :) Anyways, great job!
Haha, glad you like that part of it :) It's funny, our games both involved an old man using a robot to do literally everything for them.
Great fun! Liked the variety in enemies.
Nice game! I was a bit confused at the beginning but that also may just be because I'm a bit stupid lmao. Played a few times and enjoyed it.
If you don't mind, I'm curious what was confusing? I'm still pretty new at this, and you were confused, others will be too. Would love to improve on it being intuitive :)
Our games are super similar! I loved your take on it and I am impressed that your robot knocks people back effectively. I tried to get my spider AI to knock people back but I didn't get it nearly as well as you did. Great job :)
Well now I have to check it out! :D
Broo the old man is running like crazy!
For 76, hes still got it
Maybe the art and sound are not the best, but overall it is awesome game and i had fun playing it!
P.s. It's literally vampire survirors but with a different perspective. Also I managed to kill 20/10 bosses :)
Yeah I am definitely not an artist. We did give a nod to Vamp Survivors in the details on the main page
Really nice game, super fun and addicting!
This was extremely fun to play, maybe I’m just a sucker for the sense of progress from incremental upgrades, but I loved it. Excellent use of theme, I felt weak as the human, but it was fun watching Roby start to mow down lines of enemies with the laser upgrade. Choosing the upgrades made for some interesting decisions, and cool SFX.
The fact that you are scraping parts to upgrade the AI is a literal interpretation of the jam theme…
Great job!
Thanks! Literal is my favorite way to interpret themes :D
Very simple concept, but a surprisingly addicting one. Had a lot of fun with this one! Would love to see a more fleshed out version :)
Thanks! This was a lot of fun to make. Curious if you have favorite and least favorite aspects?
Fun, i like the game, specially when you can upgrade a lot of Robys abilities
Feel free to check out my game
Love it :D
Cool concept that the player does not kill robots but his AI companion does! great stuff.
Thanks! Checked your game out first, it's amazing! Super impressive in 3 days :)
