Don't use arrow keys on browser game, the page moves

Nice little top-down shooter. I dig the Roombas theme. I think I could have used a bit more direct danger: not allowed to touch the Roombas or something.

@Malsanity, Ah damn, you are right. I should have tested it on Chrome (it works fine on Firefox).

I'll add a disclaimer so that chrome players use the game jolt link. It seems to work fine there.

Like the theme. Wish I could shoot/move in arbitrary directions though.

Managed to win it, could use a bit of balancing (maybe repositioning the table so I can't see both entrances) or something like that. But nice game that definitely fits the theme and I could totally see the character's motivations :)

Pretty solid game overall. Being able to shoot diagonally would have been nice.

Good game ! Well done !

Yours is the first Roomba game I've played where the rooombas are the enemies. It's a nice twist on a shooter, but the lack of direct threat to the player maybe takes away some of the tension. Perhaps having other things to complete in the room would have helped? I wanted to use the computer for something.

Another roomba game! Cool and challenging. I wish the marbles were a little more serious of a projectile.

Nice job! I like the premise of the game. It was fun and fast-paced, but I found it distracting that the page moved up and down when moving the character.

Cute idea, that you need to keep your room dirty. Control scheme could use a little more love, but a nice simple game.

The intro screen set a really nice atmosphere, but unfortunately that same vibe didn't carry in to the main game.

Aside from that, you did alright. The game was rounded. I ended up beating it with sore wrists, lol.
