Quite a fun game, nice use of the theme. Doesn't have a high score list though, I had 10225.

Cool idea, nice visuals. Good work for a weekend!

Thought this was excellent. Loved the art style and it was just generally a really fun game to play.

Hele mooie game. 10 seconden vind ik wel net ff wat te lastig maar uiteraard begrijpelijk vanwege het thema ^^

Very creative use of the theme, with fun and simple controls. It could use some sound effects, although not sure if there are some that I had accidentally muted

Very cool game! The swarm control style is a really fun and interesting concept.

Really fun game with very professional graphics and actionfull gameplay.

Very nice graphics, good job with the robots and the shadows.

Good graphics, i missed music and sounds, the moves are too fast, but anyway i get some fun, good work!

So nice! it lacks audio, but everything else is quite good :)
First LD? I hope to see more games from you

Interesting game, reminds me of a simplified Pikmin when it comes to the controls. The graphics are charming and really well made, thought the game seemed very basic without any sound or music. The controls were smooth as well. Good job!

Super! Nice attention to detail, good work! :D

zammy 2013-08-28 20:20

Really nice game. I would very much like to see it finished and polished. Keep up the good work!

This game is amazingly well done. The graphics, the concept, the gameplay itself - just very very good. Why no music, though? Or at least some sound effects? In any case, this was probably the most fun LD27 entry I played so far. Commanding the robot horde was very cool.

teamincharge 2013-08-29 08:20

Thanks for playing and for your comments! We did plan on adding sound effects and music, but we ran out of time... Next time we will give audio a higher priority :)

That's funny at first I see those robots recharging battery and fell down into the hole. Polish model and art stuff. FYI: I experienced lagging every now and then when progress through the level (as I have played on web).

almax27 2013-08-30 12:23

Nice game, I really like the get cozy/spread mechanic

aayars 2013-08-31 16:58

Runs too slow to play here, and the window size is larger than my screen.

Looks like it is probably a cool game, but I'll abstain from voting on this one.

diptoman 2013-08-31 17:15

Love the ctrl and alt buttons for sticking close and spreading apart. It makes for different strategies, and managing everyone. But the speed is a bit too high. I often spent time crashing into walls.
But overall, its a great concept! You should definitely take this further. If there was sounds in this, I bet it would have been fantastic. But yeah, sound's kind of a luxury in these short jams.

So nice !!! One of the coolest game in LD. I was inspired !!!

fgielow 2013-09-02 21:36

Miss some points improtants, as the time i have before get without energy.
I like the graphics!
Oh, and nice use o the theme in the concept.

lightmarestudio 2013-09-02 21:41

I love it! Kinda reminds me of Pikmin for some reason. Anyway, great concept, good use of the theme, very nice controls and great level design! Kudos!

gmaker 2013-09-05 10:14

greate graphics and idea!! i had nice time! ) good job!

lesterpig 2013-09-08 09:44

Really nice work, but really frustrating ;)
Need some sounds :(

wilbefast 2013-09-10 11:50

Hmm... the windows is much large than my screen resolution, so I can't so the whole thing :S Also runs very slowly on my computer - Dell Vostro 1510 with 8400M graphics card, Arch Linux 64 bit.

Not currently playable for me I'm afraid :'(

teamincharge 2013-09-10 12:05

Again thank you all for playing the game!

A quick note for those having issues with performance: the web version is fixed at one resolution (and your native resolution when switching to full screen) and high detail settings. however the downloadable version has resolution and detail settings so you can tweak them to match your hardware. Also we noticed that some optimus laptops don't switch to the discrete gpu with the web version, while the downloadable version runs just fine.

Wow, really awesome game! Nice graphics and well implemented swarm behavior. The controls are a bit hard to master, though.

01rafael 2013-09-13 12:10

super super super! )))
funny game! you must to improve it!
thanks for web version to

ossi 2013-09-16 22:23

Great controls and use of the theme! Love the graphics and the grouping mechanics. Really wish there was sound to give it a more machine/robotic feeling as well as hearing those awesome tesla coils! Great job!
