Pretty minimalistic. I think it needs something more to spice it up as it's get boring in this state quiet soon :-)

HIGH SCORE: 31.

Actually I disagree with rincewind, not saying their wrong, but I like the minimalistic-ness and the game is actually quite fun, if you couldn't destroy the robots it would be boring, but because their is a method to fighting them it gives you hope to fight on. My only suggestion would be to make the levels either change after time or have moving obstacles to make it more interesting.

Pretty small game. Not so much going on.

Funny to make the robot snowmen hit each other.
score 114

Nice Simple idea. Being able to move diagonally means you can forever out run the bad guys. Also about 16ish robots in, they all stopping moving and just started jittering.

The idea is pretty interesting, but it lacks content. It was fun running away from robots first few minutes, but then I figured out the best strategy and the game became doing the same thing over and over. You should add some variety. Different levels, for example, or different enemies.

Also, I managed to block the passage to the right of the central wall. I think, theoretically it's possible to block both of them.

A simple game, but rather enjoyable! It does what it set out to do. Path finding works well. I like the mechanic/strategy. varying the level layout would be good.

I played it for a bit and stopped after it got repetitive.

I like the burning snowmen of evil. That was a nice touch.

It's a decent enough game. I like when two snowbots hit each other. Heh.
At first I thought, you have to get to that spawner to actually escape really but then I notice its impossible.

Good concept but a little minimalist

Somehow, this feels like a really good game. It's really small and minimalistic. You can't really win, but you can crash two evil snowmans into each other which is very fun to do. I see myself constantly trying to get a higher score, finding new strategies, and it keeps being fun unlike some other games.
It's really balanced. The fact that you could move diagonally, gives you the feeling you can actually outrun and beat those evil snowmans.
Sounds would have been a nice touch, other levels would have been nice too, but it's still a complete game without it.

Definetly one of my favorite games. Great submission.

Fun game. I liked watching the evil snowmen crash and burn...lol.

elliottd 2014-12-08 15:34

I like the robot snowmen and the colour scheme. the movement is a little stiff but responsive. I don't think snowman can escape.

raincole 2014-12-08 15:39

A little repetitive, but good idea.

jnyknn 2014-12-08 17:36

Not bad, but maybe a bit too simple.

snemanden 2014-12-08 17:41

Simple little game; the burning robot snowmen works especially nice. (Score: 52)

Fun games, and the exploding robots are awesome. I do wish there was more ways to kill them.

spartanicecream 2014-12-09 23:44

Nice

ramonparaiba 2014-12-10 11:32

very simple, but has potential.
I think trying to make less repetitive can improve it.

paperscraps 2014-12-10 11:34

#NOMAN, haha. Simple game. Could use some more mechanics.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-10 18:48

Small but nice. Maybe a little simple. Anyway, good job!!!

harley77 2014-12-12 12:57

Interesting twist getting them to collide with each other. Adds an nice level of strategy.

rothens 2014-12-13 10:47

Minimalistic, but fun :) And robomans are pretty clever.

billrizer 2014-12-14 11:51

Quite cute - would love to see it turned into a puzzle with escape routes :)

benmcnelly 2014-12-16 05:18

I agree its simple, but I like simple and clean. Good work!

rjhunter 2014-12-16 05:20

Reminds me a little of the classic Unix game "robots" (except real-time and with graphics). Because of this, and because the fire stayed on the screen, I kept expecting the robots to crash into the burning wreckage of other robots.

I would have like a bit of audio, too.

Lovely graphics!

maxmetallica 2014-12-28 05:39

nice game dude

mohammad 2014-12-30 01:27

Needs more to it, but nothing that wrong with it.
