A lot of fun! As always, the graphics and music are very nice, creating the perfect mood for the game (although you apparently opted out of mood?) Although some of the sound effects, namely the sound of the generator being destroyed, were a bit harsh. A short, but all around very well polished experience!

deepnight 2015-12-14 03:52

Oops, sorry about the Mood removal, missclick :) Thank you for your first comment! The sounds were made during the last hour, that's why they suck :)

binarybot 2015-12-14 04:00

Incredible, incredible game. How you did the legs, gosh. Amazing. The pixel art, music, everything, perfect. 5/5.

kortuga98 2015-12-14 04:04

Once again, deepnight destroys our ambitions of doing well in LD. Great job as always, mate.

jward 2015-12-14 04:27

Wow, freakin' awesome!

sputnik 2015-12-14 04:29

Awesome! Robots are very cool. Good music too!

2015-12-14 04:48

Pretty cool little game.. you should just call those robots "Buttons" that would fit the theme well :) Is there any game over condition? I haven't noticed any HP and won all 3 maps without problems.

bemmu 2015-12-14 06:19

This is always the entry I am looking forward to the most.

Idea of having the two robots that you can switch between was cool, and the robot walking animation was fantastic. The art is great and this would definitely have sold a lot had it come out on the Amiga 500 for example.

ncannasse 2015-12-14 08:24

Funny game. Quite short and a bit repetitive, but good feeling overall. I would have love to have civilians to step on :)

rzuf 2015-12-14 09:35

Single-player coop, that's new! Amazing work, as always. Shame that there are no enemies that could be killed by stomping on them.

pikace 2015-12-14 10:22

That was an awesome short time playing FMD. Really enjoyed it. Nice one deepnight !

aaants 2015-12-14 11:23

Stellar, as ever :)

dragonxvi 2015-12-14 13:00

Presentation's gorgeous as always, particularly the walker animations + details. :D Love the 'creep' as a Growing mechanic. Only little gripe is gameplay's a little simple. Love it though!

jorgemoag 2015-12-14 15:20

Great job, very good game. 5/5

adamwoolridge 2015-12-14 15:42

Awesome as always. Great job.

studiosaurus 2015-12-14 16:43

Sick, sick, sick. Loved the way the robots moved.

radnap 2015-12-14 17:59

Stunning with beautiful animations as always ! I love the mood, the ambiance and the overall feeling of the world is really good. Impressive work !

bering 2015-12-14 18:05

The movement and feel of the robots is really kick ass! It fits the theme pretty well, art is great, animations are top knotch, it's got polish and multiple levels... This is awesome!

sanojian 2015-12-14 18:49

Unbelievable graphics and controls. Not full points for the theme but everything else is extremely good.

oxysoft 2015-12-14 20:58

Not as good as your usual entries but still very nice graphics, sounds etc. It was kinda annoying switching between the 2 robots all the time.

eddy93 2015-12-14 21:23

You had me at giant robots! Felt incredible to control those things!

yamzho 2015-12-14 21:24

Very good, as usual (even if it isn't my favorite of yours).

tommislav 2015-12-14 21:53

OMG

TaoPhoenix 2015-12-14 21:59

I'm new to your games, and it's *Compo* not Jam, so you def have a talent for art! This is a quick post that the concept is a lot of fun, and I'm building a list of games to go back over in more detail over at DonationCoder.com so I'll post back again in a few days during voting with more!

drludos 2015-12-15 01:06

Outstanding, as usual. I'm always amazed by your entries, and this one doesn't disappoint! I really love how the (giant) robots feel "alive" in the game!

alvaromartin 2015-12-15 02:00

Awesome game, I loved it! Super polished, you are the king of LD! Really liked it. The mecha animations are superb.

munchor 2015-12-15 02:29

Possibly one of your best so far! Really really loved the implementation, it was just brilliant, once again!

lereveur 2015-12-15 02:45

As always, I tried your game first, and I'm not disappointed ! Nothing to say better than what have been said yet, so I just say : thank you !

tipyx 2015-12-15 02:53

As usual, nice job :D. Excellent coder, excellent artist, now, excellent musician ? What's next ? :D

joejl 2015-12-15 03:10

Wonderful! Love the art and the way the robot leg movement works. I think it could have fit the theme more, but regardless, 5/5 :)

vilcans 2015-12-15 07:58

Very impressive! Everything is so polished.

edriavw 2015-12-15 08:34

super cool!

valandre 2015-12-15 08:48

Very good entry, lots of fun, and a very good feeling. You try something new in graphic ;-) thanks! a 5 stars games of course!

donengland 2015-12-15 08:55

Fun game. Enjoyed the graphical style.

fadobo 2015-12-15 09:19

Amazing what you pulled off, especially in the short time. Wouldn't be able to make this if I had a year to work on it, let alone a weekend.

andrewkennedy 2015-12-15 09:41

Really liked it! I couldn't find a better strategy than move both robots at the same time (since left-behind enemies were re-making the spawn points) so it led me to question why there was a second, slower robot?

fullmontis 2015-12-15 13:35

Amazing game, as usual! I would even dare this is the best game you have done so far.It is so much fun, and has a strategic quality to it that is particularly addicting.

jim3wg 2015-12-15 16:49

Comme d'hab super, bien vu les contrôles simplifié

scorched 2015-12-15 17:15

Graphics are great as always :-)
Not very much to play though as most things are done automatically:-)

hadesfury 2015-12-15 17:22

I love it !

local306 2015-12-15 17:43

I kind of doubt this was actually made from scratch within 48 hours. Cool game nonetheless.

todnut 2015-12-15 18:25

Crazy awesome cool!

cogcomp 2015-12-15 18:31

That was amazing. Incredible what you've made in 48 hours! Great work!

kaa 2015-12-15 18:38

Just perfect!

knason 2015-12-15 19:52

totally awesome! I loved the way the robots moved. I had so much fun playing your game! thanks for that and great job!

split82 2015-12-16 00:09

Nice! Top notch graphics as always :)

pjimmy 2015-12-16 01:00

the game is visually flawless, 5 stars, but the gameplay is also very fun. Hard to believe you made this in just 48h :) well done!

nightshadow0 2015-12-16 01:40

Oh man, that animation is absurdly cool, i literally said SO COOL out loud.
Changing between robots is a neat idea, but did the missile robot really need to be that slow? The game isn't exactly easy as it is, i lost in sector 3.
Brilliant work, though!

radstar 2015-12-16 08:46

I would to rate your game, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to work :( I tried both on Chrome and Firefox but all I've got is a black screen instead of the game

retraffic 2015-12-16 10:31

Nice graphics and animations! Add some sound effects and you have a juicy action game.

afenda 2015-12-16 10:40

Great game ! but i have prefered delicious cortex. Robots are awesome. Mechanics is great fun.

tuism 2015-12-16 12:53

Fantastic polish, fantastic presentation. Feels like a complete product. The tanks move beautifully and all the juice and bits of detail are just fantastic. Lovely minimap and all that jazz.

Except...

The gameplay is really uninteresting. There's not really any choice other than to move to the nearest hotspot, and there's no challenge other than to not dilly dally.

And despite everything that's in there, I really REALLY felt the absence of sound effects, heck, especially with the soundtrack playing. Sound effects are easier to make than music thanks to the likes of BFXR, so I would prioritise that first!

psypol 2015-12-16 19:45

N.B : there is a possibility to go offscreen with robots, maybe you should put a blocker around the map

markusfisch 2015-12-16 20:01

Simply awesome. As always. You're in another league, really. I very much like the movement of the robots.

kakureta 2015-12-16 22:41

Amazing game as always! Very well done. I've got no words for this... Simply amazing!

noradzero 2015-12-16 23:33

A lots of fun! Very nice job.

kunonooni 2015-12-17 03:22

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said... You know your game kicks ass, so you don't need me to tell you. As always well done!

hexagore 2015-12-17 04:58

Hi Deepnight. Could you upload the source please? :)

commanderstitch 2015-12-17 05:20

with less time on the second theme... and this was the result. :D nice work for less time. love the graphics like always.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2015-12-17 13:47

Great entrey as always! Gamefeel is great, feedback is there. Maybe the gameplay mechanics could have been a bit deeper or the complementary between the 2 mechas more gameplay-wise appealing.

pantoufle 2015-12-17 14:08

Great game, as usual :-)
Congratulations!

oldpeculier 2015-12-18 04:50

Five is not enough stars for the graphics rating—incredible.

mike-cullingham 2015-12-18 05:09

Pretty fun game. Really liked the feel of walking over trees and buildings and blowing them up. Cool stuff.

phocker 2015-12-18 06:02

unbelievable game - added to my favorites

gamepopper 2015-12-18 13:59

Great game! The mechs look incredible, especially with how they move like a modular war machine! The effects look great as well!

plauk 2015-12-19 03:42

Really cool game. Would be great as local multiplayer.

spotco 2015-12-19 09:48

impressive looking and feeling though wish more mechanics

wilbefast 2015-12-19 16:50

Great stuff as always DeepKnight :D

I do always like this kind of indirect control and strategic play. All it needs now are a few enemies and mechs to spice things up :) It's a shame the other game slowed you down, though I feel better about my own work now I see even you have your limits ;P

Only complaint I can think of (for good form): my screen resolution is quite low though so I had a bit of trouble fitting everything is.

dj_pale 2015-12-19 20:30

Very nice, with multiple levels which ramped up quite good! Awesome graphics and animations! Haxe FTW

tijn 2015-12-19 20:55

Awesome game! Not just looks & sounds great, but also is genuinely fun to play. Great job :)

2015-12-20 04:03

Trop fort !!!!!!!!!!!!

ethankennerly 2015-12-20 15:20

I look forward to playing. When I load from Windows 7 AlienWare M11x in Chrome, FireFox, or Internet Explorer, I see a black window and an error: "Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Error #3702: Context3D not available."

exhidor 2015-12-20 17:34

I loved it ! the mecha are really nice

yakka 2015-12-21 12:20

This is really impressive :o well done!

freaknarf 2015-12-21 12:41

Nice compo, especially knowing how many times the gameplay changed in 48 H :)
Amazing visuals, i loved robots animations and move ; great visual and audio polish, gameplay is a bit easy once you get it,but interesting concept and AI mechanics !
Great!

stevesalmond 2015-12-21 19:55

Perfection! Would have loved some sfx and screenshake on the big guys' footsteps to make them feel super huge, that's about all I can think to mention really. So cool! :D

m-a-r-o-o-v-a-n 2015-12-21 20:13

I love this game. Very well polished. I reminds me of those cool retro games from the childhood. Thank you for this!!

drauthius 2015-12-23 12:23

Another great entry. It was quite challenging as well, and beautiful like always.

bogden 2015-12-23 20:43

Is the source code for this game available somewhere?

saintheiser 2015-12-28 09:05

Not working on linux. Flash MUST DIE.

ddrkirbyisq 2015-12-28 18:23

Enjoyable game, despite the fact that you can't seem to lose (?) and you can actually just solo all of the levels with the pink bot (stomping on enemies kills them). Oops! Well, I guess it's more of a tech demo than a game, but it's still fun anyways :D Would be interested in a writeup on your blog on how you designed the leg movement for the bots!

franklins-ghost 2016-01-02 12:54

Great looking entry. The switching between the robots was a nice touch.

blackbulletiv 2016-01-02 14:00

Beautiful graphics and the gameplay is pretty good (especially with the strategic switching of robots). It did some more sound effects and levels to be seriously polished though. Still a great job.

aik 2016-01-03 01:57

Would probably be better as a multiplayer game. Very impressive though.

01010111 2016-01-05 00:40

Awesome game! I am really in love with the missiles - they look so perfect, and even though I'm not even firing them, it feels good to play! Great work as always :D
