Nice game and nice use of the theme. Though experiment are always fun when you can destroy robots. Is there an end to the game ? I almost killed everybody but I was a bit too slow. I like the fog of war and the music.

Thanks everyone! There's no ending, you're competing for a high Fitness score

I really like the art style. It's cute in a positively weird way. It's a nice small game.

Pretty good. I really like the character designs, and It's only the second game I got to play as a mech, so thats cool.

I think I remember you talking about this idea on the IRC channel over the weekend. It's a great take on the theme!

The hit detection for the welding beam felt a little fiddly - I couldn't quite get a sense of what it took to destroy one of my ineffective competitors. Between that, and the fact that you move at the same speed as them (which is a nice design choice!) it was really challenging to get a hang of the combat mechanic.

The fog of war was a nice touch - a good bit of polish that deepens the gameplay in subtle ways.

Great job!
