Very nice solid game. The movement while it was good, it felt to me that I moved too fast too soon. I did like that you blended keys to be 360 movement. I could cruise around the screen easily. It could easily be developed more - maybe slow down more visibly when you have less power, and different obstacles.
Really nice game with neat graphics and simple, but very fun gameplay. Also, sounds are awesome and fit this game.
Nice! The controls feel pretty good. Maybe you could make it a bit easier, and make the battery deplete a bit faster when the character moves ? Dunno, it might give a bit of spice. Good job!
A little bit redundant, but the concept has the potential to be improved into a really good game !
Though simple, it was really fun to twirl around and collect batteries. As @ynk, the mechanic becomes redundant after a few tries, but to me the game remained engaging. It reminds of Flash games that are great to kill time. Thanks for your submission!
The movement felt nice and comfy, and the high-score tracking was a nice touch on a simple concept. I feel like the battery depleting / battery spawn rate could have been balanced a little better, though
I really liked the way the roomba moves. It feels robotic and smooth. Well done! Quite repetitive. Nice music, but could have used additional sound effects. Overall good.
I enjoyed the game's smooth, responsive controls and interesting enemy/pickup movements. As others have said, I think health might drain too fast and batteries might spawn to infrequently as the game progresses. I think it could be improved with the addition of more features such as power ups or similar, or simply more enemies rather than fewer batteries later in the game. Overall a fun game that just needs a little bit more work.
Nice game. it's really simple, but therefore easy to play and you can already play it after a few seconds. It makes a lot of Fun and the sound is really good especially for a compo entry. This game could need a scoreboard to make people play it longer. Overall good game, thanks for making it :D
+1 for games where vehicles have to go pick stuff up :)
Good and quick game. I instantly had fun and knew how to play :) Feels very reactive!
Nice game. An pretty cool idea and concept.
Does really have potential The graphics are pretty nice
Very simple but well-executed!
At first I thought I was steering the vehicle with my mouse, turns out it's click-to-go-there. Maybe make the vehicle movement more involved, I think that would make it more interesting. :)
I like the feel. The movement controls and the simple art were very nice. The somewhat unpredictable movement of the saws was a bit weird but not bad. It might have been more interesting with more saws, but having all of them on predictable trajectories. I also had batteries hit saws into me a few times, which was interesting.
Wow! really solid gameplay! is this game inspired by some other game? if not, you should really continue developing it :)
I first played the game with the mouse, I really liked it, didn't play like anything I have tried before. I then tried it with the gamepad, it was smother to control, but felt no so different.
I think there should be more batteries on the level because if you pick them fast there is nothing more to do then to wait, and around 400-500p you will die because of the power drain and theres no way to pick more batteries no matter what you do.
I like how the batteries are pretty close to the base, so each "run" is very short. Great game :)
Small, simple game. There's not much content, but what's there is very polished. So many LD games are grand projects with flaws, but you have made something small to near perfection. Good job!
I think the movement was a little strange, but it really fit with the music.
Simple but well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXq5UkQ9iWI
