pretty cool.can you rate my game
That's a pretty hard game you made here! Robots one-shot the player. And I have'nt been able to land a hit myself. You should add a retry button or something like that, because we have to quit and relaunch the game to try again. Nice job on the mood and music, it works really well!
I like the mood and atmosphere. Also the death sound is amazing
very hard games and it lacks a "retry" button but the atmosphere is very nice. Nice Job.
Overall pretty fun. Very good atmosphere. It took a few tries for me to figure out how to do anything that didn't lead to instant death the moment I got near a robot. But, when I did figure it out, it made the game fun.
Also, there may need to be a bit of tweaking for the first time player. I guess I went the wrong path initially because I didn't see my first robot until like 65 seconds into my first game.
You've done a good job of creating suspense with the lighting restricting your vision and the atmospheric audio, I was genuinely afraid of the robots. Good job :)
Omg so hard really good though!
A couple goes at this, it's tough but I like it!
i was able to make it to 99 seconds! i'll never know if it was possible to make it into the triple digits... i thought the game was simple and effective! i guess it would've been nice if there was more scenery and stuff.

Beginners luck: I killed a robot and machine first game no problem.
Died 6 more times immediately after....
Explored during that time. Adjusted the strategy: *just hide*. in that long hallway....
I'm typing this as I survive ;), 194 and counting....
In all seriousness, it's a good game, because of the restrictive sight, the scary robot sounds, and the goal of defeating machine generating spots. (245)

So I made a pact with myself that I will continue to give a review until I lose. Hopefully these little guys have more than pure random AI....

**Okay yeah, I give up. It's inevitable that I lose, because I have to go to bed haha. Thanks again!**

@exevirus Thanks for that! I need to explore the hallway strategy for myself...
Pretty atmospheric and interesting game, with good audio, but the restart button is missing
Neat idea and well executed! A retry button would be great given the ability to die so quickly and while the darkness is very atmospheric and effective it sometimes felt like I was wandering a bit aimlessly, but for a survival game I suppose that works well enough :) Great job!!
This game is harder than I thought, But I am having a good time playing it! I try so hard to survive every time and I really need I retry button lmao. Nice job!

I found this spot where they couldn't find me and afk'ed there for a bit. I think its infinite points and I have delayed the inevitable! =P
I thought the visuals and audio were great and created a really nice atmosphere! Well done!
@aumbra Good work finding this and thanks for checking out our game! An AI improvement may be in line.
At first, I thought I was supposed to find the robots. I didn't realize the number in the corner was a timer. I thought it was the number of robots. After I figured that out, I did like trying to hide from the robots and sneak up on their factories and destroy those. Of course, I'm not sure if I'm destroying them or not or if it does anything at all. It greys out, but I don't know if robots keep spawning there. I wasn't going to wait near the base to find out :) I think more features could be added.
This was pretty fun! Would have killed for a fast restart button, but it seemed like I had to restart the game to try again. The atmosphere was pretty good, though the sound effects could be a little much if a lot of robots got you all at once.
I'd probably also suggest making some tutorial instructions or control guide available, just something to explain what the numbers are object are, but otherwise this was a nice entry!
Like the shadow effects, but much too hard to play, I couldn't take out a single robot. Also needs a game reset option.
Maybe the robots could chase you a bit slower. If they see you you're pretty much dead. Other than that, great atmosphere :)
