I reached the place where your pet robot get hacked and then I got totally obliterate by him. Not sure how to come past that point. Thanks for posting i enjoyed playing it.

Game are kinda diffcult since the laser damage are very low so i away ignore the enemy, still an cool game.

Meow!

I really enjoy handmade rough sfx, so good job there :) The actual gameplay was very enjoyable, and I wasn't bored for a minute. I didn't feel that my robot companion did any damage to the enemies, though.

I'm still wondering what's the backstory about the end boss' name.

Sure the graphics and audio screams programmer art, but I found the many mechanics that you implemented quite solid.

I got stuck in the level where you have to use keys to open doors, for some reason I cannot pick up any of the keys to open the last door.

@voidsay you have to pick the 2 keys at the same time (with your pet ;) Sorry, I haven't explain that part ^^

How this game into the theme I dont see that ? Sorry. Not too horiblle art but next time try invest time more into art. Your audio is not good, maybe next time skip it. Game is fun, but not as good as I hope so. Very good mood, nice work. Overall I think this game is good, and I think, next time you will create as good game as this is, or maybe better, so good job.

@vivoubos in this case Meow ;)

I loved the sound effects! Made me laugh a couple times. Controls are fine, but the drone having collisions was a little annoying. Overall quite fun to play. I got stuck at the level with the door and the two keys. I could not pick up the keys and couldn't continue.

This was a legitimately very fun game, I enjoyed it a lot!

Meow I guess.. I would not have figured out the two key thing without the comments here. The first time I heard that laser sound you got my 5 stars in humor. The gameplay was surprisingly satisfying!

And yes, make the buddy stronger! Give him some love!!

OMG the sounds had me crying!! I really liked your gameplay and graphics, I even found it quite difficult which is something I like. Very good job!

Love the sound effects as most did.

Gamplay was really fun! This is a great example of a game that may not be the most beautiful but is a lot of fun to play.

The buddy system was great, and always a fan of less punishing deaths in these types of games so that was a nice touch for us less worthy players :smile:

Good job!

Solid entry.

I got stuck near the end(?) where you cross the red beam and your robot goes ballistic. Couldn't quite figure out how to get through that one.

Nice game, good gameplay and the sounds are funny.

I've come to the 2 key - door. It didn't work, but I guess thats an engine bug(?). Robot goes ballistic is a bit confusing because it's not clear what to do (continue to the green line), as other gadgets get normal again after some time. I very much enjoyed the game, the sounds in particular ^^

vivoubos 2021-10-16 21:11

@witchbat there is no bug, you have to take both of the key at the same time

fabula-rasa 2021-10-20 15:21

Meow :)

I adored the "piu, piu" sound and had a laugh at finding "no Easter egg". The game could really benefit from some lively music.

It wasn't obvious that you have to pick up both keys at the same time in this one place. And lack of any feedback made it seem like a bug at first. But I finally figured that maybe I should use my trusty droid to help me.

There are some cool ideas in the game. I particularly liked the hacked jetpack mechanic and my droid going insane.

Meow! The audio is really funny! It's interesting to use all the power I get. I pretty like the part of two-keys door. Nice work!
