I noticed I could sit halfway between the truck and the boss and snipe any enemies, so maybe the laser gun needs to be nerfed. I had fun playing though, and the music is a jam! Nice work!

Good chunky audio! The character getting stuck at random was a bit annoying however, especially common after teleporting. Also a button for teleporting would be nice. But all in all, was a fun game to play through once, the dificullty ramp felt just right as well.

I like the model, resembles Total Annihilation KBots.

Very satisfying game! I love the fact that the viruses literally explode lol. Is there an actual ending or it just keeps going?

Good game!

I got stuck a bit too much getting down the slope, which can be annoying after the second time or so. I like the idea though, but I also had trouble reading correctly where my laser would shoot.

I am not sure I understand how it is upgraded? Is it just by teleport back to the base after killing a big one?

I killed 9 huge viruses and 469 small ones. I'd say the game is a bit too slow to get started really, but the base is nice. Good graphics as well. Congrats!

Hilarious but it got kind of boring after killing Cowona twice. Maybe make the walk speed a bit faster and fix how often the guy gets stuck or make some part of the gameplay change other than the difficulty supposedly.

@brachistosauro It keep going until the player is overwhelmed by numbers, or computer runs out of memory. It becomes impossible for a human at around level 20. I'd say an aimbot can go to level 50 or something.

@linky439 The laser DPS gets increased each time. Note that the first few small cowonas killed takes a little less than half a second to kill, and later on becomes perceptually instant.

@clayton-does-things The game gets really intense after a few more levels, skip forward in the video a bit to see what I mean. It plays like a tank, but yeah it does feel pretty slow. It would be worth rewriting the movement, but it already took an entire day to write in the first place. There was plans to give unlockable weapons, note the left arm, but I had no time to implement it.

Really satisfying walk animation, fine idea, wanted it to escalate quicker.

Really good animations and models I can see you have put a lot of effort in it. Overall I really enjoyed it.

So many awesome elements! I love the 3-D model of the robot. The music is good too. The sync'ing of the footsteps with the audio was great. I really love how intuitive it is to turn and control the top of the robot independently of moving the bottom of the robot.

Suggestion: The audio when you blow something up is a bit distorted.

Bug: I got myself stuck against a boulder and couldn't move at all.

Good game!

One suggestion - please allow to adjust volume or keep it lower initially, my ears blew up on start. But once I adjusted it, it was a lot better.

Keep up the good work.

This is pretty high quality for a jam game. I like it.

xart2012 2020-05-07 05:11

good idea, but some bugs: robot can stuck at wall, will not move, if moving, when teleport, etc...

jk5000 2020-05-07 13:09

The idea is good, but the controls makes the game a bit difficult to play. I really liked the music, but I am not a super fan of the sound effects. Overall is this a okay jam game.

ultrabill 2020-05-07 14:47

Good idea, the graphics and the music are cool, but the sound effects are too loud / noisy to be appreciable.

Moving is quite difficult, I keep getting stuck on the center hill
