Honestly, such a fun little game! It reminded me of tank.io but in third person and epic music.

I do feel like there should be a bit more feedback when damaging an enemy besides just the health bar, like having them flash red or maybe robot debris spewing out of their body.

It wasn't a super difficult game to beat but that just means I can have my family try it out too, since they are not gamers.

Overall, fantastic job! :)

Wow what a fun game, good job :) The Ai could be a bit improved and I think you could place some obstacles to make shooting less overpowered. But I enjoyed the game as it is already

love your game I had a lot of fun, I played several times, with more features it could be very addictive, but right now is enough for a game jam, you can think about an extended version in the future.

Had lots of fun playing it!

Controls: turning around and camera controls are quite clunky.

Fun: it is indeed a fun game.

Fits the theme: kind of does.

Graphics: simple, but works OK.

AI: so-so, you can wait until AI destroys each other and then finish the remaining opponent.

Conclusion: not bad at all, I can see lots of potential here!

Wow, the robots are cute!

Fun little game! The AI isn't very good, but it was still enjoyable to play this for a few rounds. Definitely would like to see this game expanded upon; ie, tournament brackets against incrementally more difficult AI. :)

mharring 2019-10-09 01:23

Love this game! I could see this idea turning into a great full-sized game. As others mentioned, the turning was a little too fast, and the gun was a little too overpowered compared to the rest of the weapons.

joseph-yannessa 2019-10-09 01:27

Pretty neat concept! Reminds me of battle bots, upgradable stats would be a really fun addition with multiple rounds

sirred 2019-10-09 04:06

Interesting take on battle royale concept. I liked that things spawned around you instead of already being there. One issue I had was that when I was backing up and trying to turn it does not go the intuitive way, it rotates only one way for each turning key press. I wish the AI also got harder or was just harder in general since you arent really forced to fight with the gun attachment.

hkspadez 2019-10-09 04:12

cool concept! fun little game. wish there was more to it

ketura 2019-10-09 04:19

Ah, battlebots. Good homage. Mechanics are competent enough, took a few tries but was ultimately successful. It's a good difficulty curve for a five minute game, so kudos on getting that done well. Should have let each saw get attached to a different random face of the robot tho.

almighty-games 2019-10-09 06:13

We originally had quite a few additional attachment weapons and defenses, but the time restraints ended up resulting in cutting most of them out. Flamethrower, Grenade Launcher, Claws, Plows, Spikes, Thrusters, as well as more interesting drops like Health Pickups and Speed Boosts. If we pursue finishing the game it'll definitely be more interesting. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback :)

This was a nice game! The robot models looked good and the intro screen was visually appealing as well. It was fun to watch all the AI robots kill each other, and then zoom in while they were distracted. Great idea, and I would love to see this developed further. Well done!

michael-feldman 2019-10-10 00:47

This is pretty friggin sweet. I like the attention to detail with the splash / attract screen. The game is fast paced and easy to pick up. Could make for a great little casual game. Cheers!

darkshadow1995 2019-10-10 02:21

really like the music and the gameplay, really good machine models too well done but one thing i think would be good is if u increase the speed of the robots to make it abit fast based

adamcyounis 2019-10-10 03:30

Thanks for the game, I think the concept is awesome and I had a bit of fun with what was there, even though it wasn't much. Additional pickups, maps and an upgrade system with a career mode would be awesome for a full game.

celsyum 2019-10-10 09:17

good game :)

dock-frankenstein 2019-10-12 07:15

Nice, but that default unity preferences windows and those default buttons hurt.

adam-saudagar 2019-10-12 16:00

maybe adding knockbacks on attack will give more feedback to the player and make it more fun :D

avon 2019-10-12 16:20

A bit too easy, but had fun playing it. I thought the controls were fine, but would have preferred buttons to attack rather than auto attacking. Good job on music and sound effects.

goupixm 2019-10-12 16:42

This character is very, very cute ! I love it ! The sounds and mechanics are very interesting, I can play several times because your game is addictive !

I want to see more one day. Very good job !

fictions 2019-10-12 18:13

That was great :D It's a fast paced game and reminds me a lot of when robot wars was on tv xD The guns seem to be the best option in this game I wish there was more balancing, so that the hammer would be as good as the guns or had another advantage :D

hyperscope 2019-10-12 18:21

I felt as the the choice of music in the intro was a bit odd and the play button was using a question mark. While it did seem a bit rough around the edges I enjoyed the style of gameplay. It would be neat to include some sort of local multiplayer to battle your friends.

Good jam!

danilo-freire 2019-10-12 18:46

Please post a web or mac build so more people can play and give feedbacks on your game!

almighty-games 2019-10-12 23:11

@danilo-freire done! :) I posted a web-build

I also fixed a few minor problems.. Here's a list of what was fixed... * Changed the main menu music to one of my original songs (It was previously playing a placeholder music loop which was unintended) * I fixed the "Play" icon in the Main Menu to use a triangle instead of a question mark * I fixed the Music and Sound FX Sliders in the Game Scene (they previously only worked correctly in the Main Menu) * HTML5 WebGL Player now up and running.

Thanks to everyone who has helped point out these problems.

kooshy 2019-10-13 03:23

Thanks for putting up a WebGL build! I kept seeing this on the front page but having to pass on it because it was Windows-only. Now that I've played, it's neat! I did a few rounds and enjoyed picking up the different weapons and things. It didn't seem like they really behaved that differently, but the buzzsaw was still my favorite.

roka-josh 2019-10-14 14:00

Very fun game, would love to see this be worked on more. Adding more upgrades would be great and a long term idea would be to have a tournament system. Amazing job!

amerigo-gazaway 2019-10-17 07:35

Oh man this is super fun. Wish there was more level! Reminds me of Twisted Metal games, would love to see a multiplayer version of this someday.

johnnysix 2019-10-19 21:57

Love the music! Great stuff, the characters were well designed, and the modular aspect was cool. A little finesse on the movement would be cool. It felt a little clunky turning. Maybe separate/lerp the camera so it's not rigidly fixed to character/rotation.

darkwing00duck 2019-10-24 22:16

Cool concept, well-inscribed idea in the battle. Elegant graphics, I liked how everything is decorated, the menu and the introduction. You have all the components of a good game, well done

kristinamay 2019-10-29 14:54

I got a chainsaw, so, obviously this was super fun.
