I love it!

farmergnome 2012-12-17 03:44

Loved the visuals! Very Nice Nik.

savethejets1 2012-12-17 03:56

Awesome!

farmergnome 2012-12-17 03:57

Loved the visuals! Very Nice Nik.

The presentation and visuals are really awesome, but the gameplay itself isn't that hot. The way the screen "shakes" constantly may make the game look good, but makes the game harder than it needs to play. The secondary weapon seems to be really unuseful, and the robot arms seems to move more randomly than under the control of my mouse.

Loved it... nice soundtrack! :)

deathray 2012-12-17 05:33

The graphics are amazing and inspiring! That's one of the best robots I've seen in a video game. He's even fun to watch after he's "dead".

I agree with shatterhand - the screen should be less shaking and chaotic, at least at the start. After a while, let the world go haywire and let the sun spin.

Very polished!

great graphics effects, seems like playing in an old 50's sci-fi movie.
but you should put more enemies!

fishbrain 2012-12-17 09:36

hahaha!... freakin' awesome!
Great mood and style - graphics and sound work exceptionally well.

mokujin 2012-12-17 09:54

Amazing art and music *_*

parapup 2012-12-17 10:32

That was a very enjoyable game, I really liked it. I hope you get into the top five :)

blackarm 2012-12-17 11:35

Wow, that was gorgeous. Not a fan of the non-skippable opening cut scene that was way too large to make sense of though. Using 1:1 and just adding black around them would have fared better, imo. Very nice though, and fun!

blockbrains 2012-12-17 12:07

Beautiful game! Love the camera movement as an effect tho it makes it harder to play, but it looks neat. Awesome!

gamexcore 2012-12-17 14:04

Very fun!

amidos2006 2012-12-17 14:45

Your games always cause to me some headache due to lots of rotations and they are always difficult but really nice amazing game :) like ur style in games :)

edocentrique 2012-12-17 17:41

Near perfection !

gabeochoa 2012-12-17 17:58

Awesome music, great visuals, I really like the camera movement.

msquirrel 2012-12-17 21:14

Just... WOW, speechless... (in a good way ;))

garygreen 2012-12-17 22:00

Great visual style and I really liked the way the screen wobbled. Loved the humour too - I'm just wondering which MP you had in mind? :-)

niksudan 2012-12-17 22:12

All of them in general really, they all have evil minds

pereubu 2012-12-17 22:46

Astounding graphics and insane mood makes me think this is the shiniest game i've played so far in this LD, and probably 'till the end D:

sos 2012-12-18 05:27

I was wondering 'Is this game as good as it looks?'. It's better.

josriley 2012-12-18 06:32

Obviously, this is absurdly pretty and sounds amazing. I actually really like the gameplay too. Not sure why people are complaining about the rotations, since it seems like they're central to the gameplay in a way.

namuol 2012-12-18 23:08

*Slow clap*

That music is *perfect*. You know how to make the most of the sin() function. ;) Hilarious premise. Great stuff.

niksudan 2012-12-19 00:12

sin for the win

jackspinoza 2012-12-19 11:29

What a laugh! Great stuff. The voice is great as is the music and sounds in general.

georgebroussard 2012-12-19 12:07

I love everything about this. Holy shit the music is perfect and the graphics and presentation are perfect. I love the tilting camera and the over the top-ness of - everything. Great job. Simple and very fun to play. About as good as you can get in 48 hours.

georgebroussard 2012-12-19 12:13

p.s. Agree with shatterhand about the gameplay and the missile not being that effective, but I think the gameplay could pretty easily be tweaked, so I'd work on it. This would make a hell of a cool .99 iOS game with some work.

superdisk 2012-12-19 12:40

It's very nice eye-candy but not much in the way of gameplay. You kind of randomly swing your arm while pitifully slow bullets come out.

The plane things just came too fast to destroy. Also, once you've been hit once, you get knocked back and can't shoot in a proper direction, so once you've been hit you're pretty much dead. Could use some work, but the graphics are definitely nice.

bender 2012-12-19 15:49

Great aesthetics and art style. I might like it even more if the game was slower, I feel like it's a little hard and the enemies come too fast.

niksudan 2012-12-19 18:30

Thanks for the great comments so far! Yeah, I know the screen tilt is a bit excessive at times, but it just suits the game I guess. And I'm used to using it. Believe me, the tilt was about twice as much before I submitted it. As for points: people and houses give you points when destroyed/killed so be sure to constantly aim at them when you can! Houses can only be destroyed by missiles. Use the launcher to shoot at the ground when you have a chance and use the machine gun to shoot the oncoming jets. The faster jets have less health so be sure to aim for those first. They also give you lots more points. With fuel cans, all you need to do is hover your mouse over it to obtain more fuel, so be sure to do so! The longer you leave collecting the fuel can, the longer you'll take to get your robot's arm back to a decent position, so grab it as soon as possible. Also if you play for more than 3 minutes, there's a keychange in the song OMG

niksudan 2012-12-19 18:30

I'm not crazy either

kharza 2012-12-20 01:05

High marks!

tommycreo 2012-12-20 14:37

Loved visuals and music so much. Awesome job.

blob 2012-12-21 01:58

Awesomeness.
Great idea to slant the screen, adds a lot to the chaos of the scene !

ointment 2012-12-21 19:13

The graphical style is interesting, but results in some awkward controls.

killmonday 2012-12-21 20:44

Just lovely goddam big ass robots, they can never fail. GREAT! And awesome.

markengley 2012-12-21 20:52

Amazing work

pierrec 2012-12-23 08:52

I suck at this, but I love this.

lekochen 2012-12-29 01:00

Amazing visual effects.

hannardynamite 2013-01-04 00:28

The graphics are really, really awesome! Good job. Fantastic game.

robotic 2013-01-04 16:22

Nice use of a crazy camera, power lines and stuff, every picture has a strong impact. This game has a crazy feeling ! Reminds me of vlambeer's games
