Did not run on my testing laptop (which normally is able to run "light" games - and "Rouge Droid", too). The only what was initially there was the godot logo and the music. It blocked even the task manager. I had to shut down the PC. So no vote for this game.

Whoa, I'm very sorry you experienced this! I don't know how this could happen. I hate to ask you to try it again (maybe redownload it first, to rule out something going wrong there), but could you? Maybe it was a fluke.

Well, on another PC the game worked normally. You've got a story there but it is only in the itch page, not the game itself. This is not optimal, and even with the text why a droid blows kisses, who the other creatures are and why they are against you. So it feels more like a cute FPS in a simple environment.
Bugs:
- I was not able to defeat the grim end boss even when I fired my hearts onto him (head and center keyhole as well) for several minutes. (His AI needs an update because he mostly fired into a wall I used as cover.)
- The text "Why did you do this..." appears at the transitional door no matter if you did fire a single "kiss" on someone or not. If you didn't, there should be another text, or none.

I'm not quite sure whether this was really cyberpunk. SF, yes, of course, but I missed the classic ingredients of cyberpunk. More context, a richer environment and more of the typical colors would have benefited the game, I think. But I liked that the "kissed" androids get pink, wave and vanish; that's a hint of closure, even when it is not very clear what it does actually mean for them in the game world.

Cool theme, giving out the love to free the neon bots! I couldn't seem to love the big guy, though, maybe he's just filled with too much hate?

Ah, yes, saw your other comment and yes, he's not full of hate. He has a big heart and a cheesy grin!

I really like it. The enemies’ expression changes when they’re hit by love are hilarious. And how they change color when converted is great too. I just couldn’t defeat the boss. Since I didn’t see a health bar, I’m not sure if it’s even possible to beat him. But I want him to know what love is too 😢. Such a cute game!

I'm glad you liked it! For the boss, it's like a big mech (think N.Gin from Crash Bandicoot 2/3, if you're familiar). Try to destroy its cannons. If a heart (one of your bullets) plays a little explosion on impact, that means it did damage.

Also, I uploaded some bugfixes a little while ago, so if you downloaded before that, I recommend redownloading it.
