Nice work!
Games that let players be an expendable common soldier are awesome, and there aren't that many of them around.
I didn't understand the rules of this game very much, but apparently I won after shooting at the enemy base long enough.. A little disappointed I didn't get to be one of the big robots. >:[
First java game ive seen and lots of fun. Just couldnt get to that enemy base!

Good mechanics, although I did not understand when I could spawn robots and how the power system worked. Very fun anyway!
Cool idea to let the player control one of the robots that spawn.

Cool idea, could use some more polish, though. Good job! :)
I like it! Being an expendable soldier is awesome, but I wish every so often one could play as a heavy robot! I didn't really understand hwo to power surge the enemy base though... :)
got the adrenaline going :)

Nice work on this entry, its a good idea!
Good idea and nice realization. You could use some extra polish on audio & game mechanics (I felt frustrated not to be able to reach the base without shooting enemy robots - I had to wait to counter-attack), including challenge. But the concept prototype is well made. :)
Seemed to easy to just run in a line in spam, otherwise was nice.
My laptop is unable to play this game. Shame.
@Starspell If its a problem with the game, try runnng it from command line and send me the error.

There was no challenge and it was possible to just stay put on front of the enemy base inside enemy robot and keep shooting. Information about the health of robots and bases would have been nice.
The graphics fit well together.
Some obstales or similar would have made the jump usable.

fun game but need more Instructions
We did not have time to put instructions in the game, so it is included above. Please see that if you are having problems figuring out how to play.

Stupid ennemies that don't even fly while they can, I used that alot!
Interesting idea. Too bad that heavy units were too slow to be able to reach enemy base in their ten seconds of lifespan.. That made them pretty useless if you want to win.
