Wow nice! The 'car' robot was a little challenging to steer, but great stuff, really cool concept, shifting between types, and trying to get that one last shot in before you morph away from the tower shape keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Really Fun game! Super interesting concept and well polished! Would love to see a bigger version in the future!
Very polished! I appreciate being able to set up AI vs AI, kinda fun to watch :]
Love the concept and impressed by the AI. I need to grab somebody to play it multiplayer at some point!
great concept and very polished game! also AI is good - took me some time to win :)
This is awesome! The AI was definitely impressive and the controls feel so good to play with. Really innovative use of the theme too, great job.
Awesome game that is really polished for the amount of time that you had to make it. The music was good. Took me a minute to get the hang of driving the car, but it felt nice once i got the hang out it. I like the concept of switching from offense to defense and the map changing around each time.
This game is so fun! I love how simple yet effective it is at keeping me playing for so long. the "WAKAWAKA" sound when the game changes is a nice touch as well. wish this was open source tho as I would love to check how the ai is designed to drive and to shoot at your future position etc.. great work!
Very fun game. I guess it would be even more fun with a friend :D Great entry!
I love the concept of the game, the art is smooth and mechanics seem very polish. GJ!
really nice flow, the idea is good and the ai is really well done!
I played a long time to beat this AI hahaha, very nice animation and sounds, looks so polished. The idea that one player only shot and another only move is vary interesting and you showed it very well. It's a really good job, thank you.
Great game and use of the theme! The transition animation when transforming was really nice too!
Great, fast-paced fun. With some tuning on the controls, this would be a fun little multiplayer game. The animations and audio were especially awesome.
Really nice and polished game! I felt that the 10 seconds time for each round played quite well, and it was very fun to play with the AI. I like the implicit mechanic that with the moving car you can be more risky, and try to end your turn closer to the enemy to then him it better when you swap roles.
I've barely seen any multiplayer game that also allows to play nicely as a single player, so congrats to that!
This is fantastic, theme is spot on, and the gameplay is super hard but not frustrating. impressive af.
Very innovative and fun! The controls feel a little wonky, but otherwise very solid - gameplay, art, music, and sfx are good. The splatter when someone dies is cool too.
I won after a few tries :)

Nice action-packed game.
I enjoyed switching roles from the hunter to the hunted. Graphicly the game looks good and has a nice soundtrack to jam to. I feel the idea could be explored further with all kinds of different things.
I only wish I turned as fast a turret as they do in the main menu.
This is probably one of the innovative I've seen so far! It's both fun and polished. Also, work on the AI can't have been easy. Great job!
Took me a couple plays to understand why I enjoyed the music so much. That's an awesome music loop! The way it switches every ten seconds and gives each of the robots a different personality - that's some really nice music direction!
I also liked how there were lots of little bits of feedback - from the different sound effects depending on what the bullets hit, to the leftovers on the ground when a box explodes or a car skids, to the way the bullets slightly push the car back and the car flickers back - lots of really small things that really make the experience feel complete.
The controls felt a bit unresponsive at times (I felt like the bullets push you a little too aggressively, and so when playing the car, I could get stuck at a bit of a tight spot that was tough to get out of and didn't feel as fun).
Altogether, that's some great game design!
Great entry! congrats!
Fun little game, I found the combination of momentum and tank controls a little awkward but I get why it was that way too. Can imagine it might be more fun with 2 players but it's pretty engaging even solo.
Wow, what a creative idea! It took me a minute to understand the forms switching back and forth, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. The graphics and audio were polished and went well with the game, and the feedback when I hit/got hit by the enemy was satisfying.
This was really fun and kind of unique! Well done!
Nice and fun game, cool graphics and sound, congrats for the car AI 😊👍
Really cool concept, it really good as party game : easy to understand, can be tricky and is multiplayer (btw, well done for the AI, I think it's pretty good !)
The scratch sound when changing phase is REALLY COOL
Loved the polish on this one! Very satisfying sound effects, shooting and getting shot at both feel great. One of my favourite entries overall this year!
The bot is too strong with their predictive aiming, heh.
I remember your LD50 entry, *Chicken Dinner*. Always good to see returning faces! I saw this one on the frontpage of Newgrounds as well and was looking forward to playing it, as the asymmetrical battle concept sounded great.
I'm not disappointed. This is a slick, well-polished game, with simple controls and enjoyable gameplay. The music switching every ten seconds along with the gameplay is a really nice touch. The enemy AI is good but I've noticed it has a tendency to run into blocks and get stuck, which makes it a sitting duck. I expect this would even more fun in two-player mode anyway, so I don't mind. Good job!
I watched my friend play this game and it looked kewl
played this on newgrounds. thought it was pretty good, steering was challenging but fun and a little funny. music was cool too, ive always liked the song
tl;dr i love this game. but i think it's a little too hard. i had to use the cheat code just to get past the first level. but other than that, great game. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is very challenging. I love how this game is more about the journey than the destination. lol I also like how you can use the environment to your advantage. This game is a lot of fun and I'm glad I found it. i give it 4 out of 5 stars
Very cool game. Love how the tables turn every 10 seconds and the hunter becomes the hunted. Also like how the map changes to give both players some cover so its fair to both sides. The AI messed up a few times and just ran into me instead of running away, but there's not much you can do about that. It'd be cool if there were some powerups that helped out either side and add some more variety to the levels, but overall the game felt very complete for a jam game. Nice work!
