Really nice animation and artwork on the main character. It's a cool concept, too. It has a Flappy Bird appeal, in that it's fairly unforgiving but also keeps you wanting to play to break your high score. Nice job.

Cool idea, it feels neat. Super difficult. My high score after about 10 deaths was 5. I think you have too much text up front, it makes the game seem overwhelming.

Really like the concept, great job!

Cool idea :) That made for some interesting gameplay. Nice sprites and explosions too.

Nice graphics and clever idea. Having to control TWO characters at once is rough.

One problem I noticed was that it seemed possible for the random level generation to make a gap so wide, you cannot jump over it -- unless it requires a max held-down jump at the last minute, and I just did it wrong?

That's tricky! The procedural generation is pretty good but maybe with a designed level you'd be able to try over and over and eventually be able to beat it. Or you could use the same random seed over and over.

Really cool idea, good execution of the mechanic, and nice running animation, just a little on the hard side.

Too many impossible-to-overcome situations that arise from the level generation for my taste. Seems very highly dependent on luck to get past a few points.

I like the concept! Really nice. Perhaps just a bit too difficult from the start.

Difficulty seems insurmountable without a lot of practice, and the jumping can be inconsistent between the two characters and against walls. I enjoyed it when I wasn't facing those issues though.

nice concept. game hard as hell.. high score of 3, shameful

Really cool concept, and fun too. I think it got too challenging too quickly, and I occasionally ran into an impossible jump. I think if you smoothed out the level builder, you could have a really nice game!

great idea, super hard.

Cool concept, but really hard to control!

m0n0quartz 2014-04-30 17:16

Cool idea, but difficult is too high, as others said. ^^

lukepilgrim 2014-05-01 15:32

cool idea but i could only play for 3-4 seconds. its really hard!

damrem 2014-05-03 18:52

Clever idea. I wasn't very good at this game, but I still enjoyed it. :-) Good back story too about why the robots get destroyed.
