Try the Windows EXE if you really want to play a little bit

This is really fun and genius, but it's really hard!! :D

Great idea! Terraformation completed so fast but enjoyed the mood.

Runs great on chrome on linux! was good fun!

Had a hard time figuring out the controls and once i did, the rhythm was weird to catch, and it seemed to work better just spamming the buttons, cool concept but needs more work,

Waaaay funnier than I expected! Great mechanic, and good job with audio(5/5) really fitting in. Would prefer movement on WASD not ASDF, but then again giving another theme star for that :)

It was enjoyable. Looping music would make it even better.

Haha, I could not get the hang of the controls of this game. Had to spam buttons and hope things worked out. Mapping to WASD or indicating what each button letter does visually would help. I'm still not sure if I was supposed to be hitting keys in rhythm or matching particular keys to different pitches? Maybe making this indicated by an animation like most rhythm games do would help a lot. Really like the idea of a clunky awkward shooter built around having to stay in rhythm, just needs a lot of work on the controls.

Challenging game and very innovative. I had fun just pressing the keys along to the music without even shooting anything. Good job.

Clever game with a lot of personality. Like other commenters I had a bit of trouble knowing when to push which key -- maybe a brief demonstration could start the game off?

hahaha great story, not so great gameplay. You chose your rating categories wisely, as the audio is great and the take on the theme original. Well done, well done.

Haha, very cool idea, love it!

Gosh, this is really hard. Very well executed with the rythm stuff!

diningphilosopher 2015-04-22 22:50

The controls were quite hard, I kept forgetting which key would do what. But after a while I had fun listening to the music that I made while destroying robots. :)

emmelineprufrock 2015-04-24 22:04

Quite difficult, honestly, and I didn't quite get the rhythm element right off.

Played the web version. Game is really hard, but I think there is potential in the mechanic at least :)

mrlarryli 2015-04-28 22:53

I played the web version. I like the intro music. The game itself is difficult until I went off the screen. After I got hit, it said terraformation complete. Visual cues for the rhythm would be good.

Hard to play. Good take on the theme.
