Looks excellent but couldn's pass the first fight :(

The first robot just dominates me, because he shoots immediately after reloading)) 1 loss - almost no chance of winning. Soundtrack funny ^^

Funny - great job with the mood! However, the game's difficulty level seems overtuned. Were you the only one testing it? You might have made it harder as you got better haha.

lanik2000 2019-05-01 07:28

@zesix Yes... We were xD Tho we though it was ok, as we tried to make it possible to beat the first few enemies with just simple movements and spammend fire.

Tho I guess we learned something along the way new players don't get to.

@ninjacatz @p0nce

So we added a post LD44 easy mode update. It just buffs the player a little bit. Hopefully this helps you enjoy the game just a bit more.

Nice concepts guys ! Really like hte way you handle the theme unfortunatly even the easy mode is hard for me, can't even kill the first one. But really enjoy to try. Keep it up !

@randdir

God damn it! xD

I don't like nerfing the game, but people not being able to see what we made is even worse.

Hopefully EasyModeV2 will be better.

Next time we'll definitely add a gallery mode or something similar. Thanks for the feedback.

Good! I win first robo fight and then second one but the champion killed me until i lose every part of mine! Fun and humor game. I like it. And sounds are crazy :D

I really liked the idea, but I felt the combat wasn't fun enough and the items weren't interesting enough. It seemed like there's a lot of items that don't do anything? Like the light bulb and soldier legs.

It's a good concept.

Its hard to control the projectiles you're firing, making the fight feel unfair.

An interesting concept. Pretty hard, but that’s probably my ability rather than a problem with the game itself. The betting of body parts was a really great idea. Plus it sounds like you managed to add a lot of content in a short time. Congrats on a great entry 🙌

I suppose the possibility to fight one or two robots are there for the player to "heal" himself with fresh robot parts or to get new parts, but I ended up fighting lots of robots and getting useless parts before realising I needed to kill the champion to unlock new parts (which is for me the hook of your game). Why not start the game with an easy champion fight? So that the very first thing you do in the game is unlock something! It could show the player the concept of the game and give them a reason to play! Other than that, good work!
