The game seems to want to be a stealth game, but the energy ticks down fast enough to make me want to rush a lot which devolves the game to running as fast as you can from a horde of robots looking for the exit. Speaking of the exit, it's difficult to notice from the top-down perspective. Adding a small light would help locating it a lot.
The AI itself seemed impressive, though and the level of polish is great, too!

Thanks for the rate and comment! Yes, some of the mechanics/systems in the game could definitely use some tweaking. I wanted to create a tension between two competing objectives (remaining hidden and maintaining energy) to force the players to make some hard choices, but I was struggling to find a balance between the two competing objectives. I didn't want the player hiding with zero combat for the entire round (that can get boring), but I also didn't want the player to feel like they need to rampage through the map to maintain energy (that can get exhausting). I was hoping to the two competing objectives would offer some pacing throughout a round so the player doesn't experience one extreme or the other for too long. I love the idea of a light at the exit, I'll be sure to implement this in future iterations of the game!
