Great Job finishing on time. I enjoyed my playthrough.

Nice game. I like that you can switch between different steambots and control them. When I'm about to die, I gotta switch quickly xd

I loved the idea, though aiming that signal to switch bots was a bit tough, especially when you were surrounded. Maybe that should be a bit wider, like a signal cone instead of a fire bolt. I like the style of the steam bots. Animation would make it even better, but I know time constraints and all. The background could also use some texture to differentiate floors and walls and make the background a little more interesting. But I love the little steam ports in the walls, that was an interesting detail. At first I thought I could interact with them, but still fun to find. Also the music and audio was pretty good.

I like the variety of bots.. and I like the hack mechanic, but I wish it had more of a "feel" when it was happening. Good music/audio. Nice entry!

Good take on the theme, planning which bots to swap into adds a layer of strategy and there was a good variety of bots and attack types. Good work!

Impressive game for the time given! Nice touch with different types of attacks for the different bots.

Cool concept! I really liked hacking other bots and seeing what they could do. I would have really like some ability indicators that showed me what abilities my current bot has and if they are on cooldown or not. Great job on the game. Keep up the good work!

The systems look fun in this. Id look into making controls clearer and the music only played once i walked a ways away. Nice job finishing your game!

Cool idea! I think theres a version thats much faster paced where the droid is destroyed in ten seconds and theres way more enemies around so youre constantly switching and adjusting to new weapons. As it stands losing a bit of health every 10 seconds is more of an annoyance than anything else.

The robots themselves are very interesting looking and i love that you spawn as a random one each run that really adds a lot.

I think theres a really interesting foundation here and its and congrats on having a pretty complete game experience nice work!

I liked the idea of taking over a new steambot every 10 seconds. I was a a bit confused as to what the penalty was if you didn't switch bodies within that initial 10 second period, and also wasn't sure how to win/end the game, but overall this game was fun and I enjoyed playing. Cool concept, good job!

The bots look very nice, and all the abilities are really cool!
