A good game. Nice style and music. I was really interested from the first minutes. But it's too easy. Too many resources. Once you figure it out, you immediately start throwing bots at the enemy. The mouse is completely imba; I bet and won.

Interesting symmetrical gameplay. I'd like to see more units that can interact with each other. I liked the mini tornado unit

The game is easy to understand, and the sounds are pretty good. But the bots are way too dumb — I just placed one robot in each row and won everywhere except the last one, where I put down four mice :)

I really like the idea to get parts from your opponents and the multiple options of different bots!

It looks like you definitely could have made it more difficult though. As soon as you get the 'wind-up'-bot you can just place 4 of them at the start and win the last levels within seconds. I still tried to check out the other bots and found it quite fun to build defenses! :smiley:

Heyo! I liked the graphics, the sound design (especially music) is addictive. Didn't understand at the very beginning where i should drag my bots from, but the second time i succeeded. Also, after losing the game went to a loop and didn't restart? I had to reload the page

Good job guys!

Hey i just finished the game it was pretty cool but the AI is too easy to beat ! Also the mouse can just one shot the light bulb which instantly win it might be a bit too overpowered. Also the player bots maybe shouldn't give that much scraps because you can easily spam any bot without thinking

Overall it was pretty cool but it could be balanced a bit to make it last longer !

Easy to finish but the overall experience is pretty cool! :v: Nice job!

Okay, that might be interesting once balanced and expanded. First few levels felt very tight, yet last two once I just won by placing 4 mice that just destroyed one enemy base and that was enough. Another little nitpick is that money (cogs) looks like something I can also drag on the play field and not a resource, so it was a little bit disorienting. However, it's a nice little game that definitely can be expanded into a more complex Plants vs. Zombies kind of game, but with both sides attacking. :)

Fun game with good presentation, a little easy once i figured out that i could just overwhelm the enemy on all lanes but really reminded me of Plants vs Zombies

The idea behind this game is great, the graphics are nice and the music is pretty fitting. Only downside is the enemy AI, may it's the game balance. After the first two levels the AI was almost exclusively deployed defense units which made the game easy. After unlocking the mouse I only needed to deploy a single one of those to win the round and unlock the next unit.
