I'm going to be totally honest, I hadn't realized I had one and was playing for quite a while after. I wasn't bored, just lost any indication. Add that and this could be a really cool mobile game. Nice work.

This really has potential - keep working on it. I'd like to see more variation in what you can do with the robots (defensive robots vs. aggresive robots, depending on the enemy).
This could be a really good mobile game.

Great game! Lacks of instructions thou :)

Very cool! Cool graphics, nice sound and good use of the theme.
Add a you win screen or something maybe.

This really has great potential as a neat mobile game I think. It's simple, but an interesting twist on the match genre. The aesthetics are pretty great, and I like the sound effects. I would love to see this developed a bit further. Some clearer instructions would help make this easier to understand though.

Enjoyed playing. If you add more animations and FX to robots taking down boss it would be an amazing game:)

Innovation 4/5: I really liked this mix between match and tower defense!!!

Fun 4/5: It's fun, but after playing a while it's a bit repetitive.

Theme 3/5: It simply is runned in one screen but it doesn' have any reference.

Graphics 4/5: Simple and well done.

Audio 3/5: Great music but annoying sfx.

Humor 2/5: I can't really rate that category, I couldn't find nothing of humour. Anyway, robots are a bit funny.

Mood 3/5: I don't know what exactly that category means.

Overall 4/5: Great game!!! It needs a help menu.

good concept but hard to win.

Really cool game. It's amusing how we kinda forget about the robots sometimes and just play to match colors I had to actually tell myself to look for the right colors :) Good job!

Really liked it! I had a fun time playing it, and I would play it more. Good job.

Fun! Clever idea.

Could only get the colour matching bit to work for me, but I rather enjoyed just that. Gorgeous palette btw.

Excellent idea, you should release a polished version on mobiles.
I suggest you use a smaller grid with less colors (like 3 or maybe 4) but force a 3-block combo to make it harder. And more things should happen on robot part of the screen so the player has to make smart choices of components at the right time.

Only drawback besides balance is that the theme is only considered as a limitation, not an inspiration.

Anyway, really nice, release it fast on mobile before I get tempted to make my own variation :p

The sound effects were really ear-piercing but thankfully you included a button to toggle them off.

Overall I think this is a great game idea! You should continue it and try making a full game. As someone else mentioned there should really be a win notice though. I was confused why the timer wasn't increasing and had apparently been playing, with a crowd of robots attacking, some time after actually winning.

Interesting idea, I like the presentation. Took me a while to figure out how to play, but once I got the hang of it I liked it. Puzzle fighter has a similar hook, but I think this feels more deliberate when you play it. Good work!

thiaguera 2014-12-11 20:43

Very interesting. I missed some more feedbacks. Good job!

hippolyta 2014-12-11 20:46

Nice game idea and realization.

Very well done!

dieblume86 2014-12-11 20:48

Nice game, i like the idea.

krunoslav 2014-12-11 20:49

Innotive game! Great music. I liked to watch the soldiers walking and fighting!
Maybe you could take more advantage of that :)

ruerob 2014-12-11 20:57

Nice little game. Was fun to play and to try to get the best robot. Very good work. Thank you for this game.

anissen 2014-12-12 20:46

Great idea! Connecting the colors is addictive and the sounds add a nice indication of the amount of colors connected. I found it hard to use any tactics and simply connected as many chains of colors as possible - it seemed to work :)
Good job!

Interesting idea, and great aesthetics. The color palette looks really nice and the sounds/music were good, too.

There was a bit of learning curve while I figured out what wasted parts meant and how making robots was good not bad, and that the boss was to be attacked and not defended, etc.

But after a game spent learning, I restarted and it got pretty interesting!

Nice work.

Interesting match3, but the theme isn't really clear. Neat ++
