Time for my in-depth and all-important review. We'll do it sandwich style.
I like the music choice, and the enemy sprites are pretty dope!
Couldn't use mouse to select main menu options, however, mouse button is used to shoot?
mouse button to shoot while having your body determine the direction of the shot is strange. If using mouse is needed, might as well have 360 aiming, so that this becomes more of a dual stick shooter.
Coins can only be generated when you have no energy? My strategy ended up being running to a corner, running out of energy, and then spamming spacebar until I had 5-6 coins to finish the level without worrying about energy.
The energy bar and health bar being the same colors made things a bit confusing.
No pause button?
Becoming the big guy had more disadvantages than advantages. Each coin only gave like 30% of the energy bar back, so I was super unprepared as far as number of coins I had. And his health seemed very low compared to his size. His only benefit is the DPS, but his large size, energy consumption and low health will make me stay away from him probably.
But, I really like the concept of switching bodies, especially when it means your character becoming stronger. I would also explore the possibility of adding like a little tiny robot brain that operates the robots, and when you robot is destroyed, you have a chance to run to a different body instead of losing right away. Another option would be to downgrade your robot to a lower version with each death.
So ye, all in all I liked it!
