a game about 𝒷𝑜𝓂𝒷𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓇𝑜𝒷𝑜𝓉𝓈

Good work! I felt like the controls were really smooth and everything felt really cohisive. I jumped in without reading the directions (rooky move i know), so I didn't realizes I was running out of money by left clicking. Nor did I realise I could right click to detinate. Once I figured that out I started to have a ton of fun. I figured once I ran out of money I needed to use my shockwave to kill the robots but I couldn't line them up right to make it happen. I might suggest giving the player a little more money, but I could just be very bad haha. Anyways, good work! Lots of fun!

I am very bad at your game.

I got confused at first because I ran out of money on Wave 4, but then I saw the part about using shockwaves to push the robots into spikes and it made more sense. Unfortunately, I'm pretty bad at using shockwaves so I only got to Wave 5... 😳 I think having a slightly more complicated room layout would have been nice, but it was still fun to play!

Pretty decent entry overall. Immediately being thrown into the gameplay made it hard for me to configure sounds and stuff and generally get set up before stuff just started happening. The gameplay is okay, but I think it has much potentail to improve. Since you only have a limited number of bombs and pushing enemies into spikes is easy you are encouraged to use that over and over, but it's actually really annoying to kite enemies in such a way that you can force them into the spikes. I think the Ai could be improved in such a way as to make them easier to kite and I also think that the level could be improved as to further accentuate the mechanics

The first thing I would do actually if I suddenly was given control to this game would be to make the level a lot bigger and coat the outer walls in spikes. I would then remove all damage potential from the bombs (maybe a single type of bomb does damage) but what they will do is instead launch the robots with incredible momentum. The goal here is to use both your shockwave and your bombs in a way that launches the robots all over the map and into the spikes. I think this would automatically make the game way more fun because now you have this chaos element and you can't damage yourself.

I would also remove the cash element because instead of resource management I just want the player to spam bombs because it's a lot more fun that way

The sounds are like 10 times louder than the music 😭

This isn't easy, I think I died instantly on my first 3 tries :'D I feel like 15% slower would be good for me. But only using environmental damage is pretty cool, I was just terrible at getting the robots in the right position, especially while avoiding just walking into spikes myself. Though just before dying I think I noticed robots were really slow if they walked near a wall, maybe I should try and exploit that later 😈.

This is sooo good! The music is great, and the combat is simple but quite enjoyable and balancing your money was a good way to add some extra depth. My record is currently at 8, so I'm proud to be the second on the leaderboard. Great work and I hope to see you in the next one!

I totally thought they were zombie-robots! 😅 this was an interesting mechanic and I liked the vibe of it despite being 𝓪𝔀𝓯𝓾𝓵 at it myself 😂 I only made it to wave 4, I think there needs to be a kind of failsafe to cause damage if you run out of money or a different way to make money, if there is something like this though, then I might have missed it! Overall though, fun entry, good job!

I feel like I've been lied to. This is a game about using your shockwave ability on robot and only occasionally bombing them.

The money mechanics were a bit unclear to me at first, but once I understood them the game made sense. The shockwave is really hard to use, which became a bit frustrating on later rounds where enemies had a lot of health and a single (cheap) bomb couldn't kill them, it felt like I was forced into continuously shockwaving enemies.

Still, I think the game was pretty fun overall. I enjoyed the aspects of bombing the robots, and only really stopped having as much fun when the game became more about effective use of shockwave to make money. Still, an entertaining entry that works with the theme.

Very difficult game for me! I found the spacebar thing very hard to hit consistently for a while. I finally placed a bomb on wave 5 (which was my highscore), and I tried to lead the robots there, but it blew me up instead. Didn't realize that would happen. haha The art style is pretty simple, but serves its purpose. I feel like a few more mechanics/levels would've been nice to see, but it was pretty good overall!

Love the scoreboard integration!
