  • This game is really fun and gets you hooked pretty quickly. You just want to keep playing to beat the enemy 😄 The cyberpunk look is awesome and adds a cool tech vibe that fits perfectly with the game jam theme about machines. The music is also spot on and gives everything a strong futuristic feel that matches the visuals really well. It’s great that there’s a button to check the rules anytime too. Super handy if you ever get a bit lost during a match 👍 One thing that could make it even better is adding some extra sound effects when the players move or when they collect nodes. That would add more feedback and make the action feel even more satisfying. Overall, it’s easy to pick up, really fun, and super enjoyable to play. Great job and thanks for choosing Phaser!

I played 4 matches even though I beat the opponent on the first try. Something satisfying about predicting their moves.

very interesting concept, took me three attempts to beat the enemy haha. this would go really well with PvP settings.

I love this idea and you executed it really well.  The UI, the graphics and music are really polished.  I think if you cook it a bit more, you could have something really good.  PvP perhaps?

Looks really good.

1 ... Aesthetics -> more animations: Make game alive.

2 ... Simplest way (if you have no map/game element animations): Create little camera zoom/rotate/transform MotionClass.

3 ... It feels like game logic is RNG and sometimes is completely unfair


Very good sound +1

A nice and polish game!

I have the feeling RNG can make some fights a bit unfair, but it's a bit nitpicking.

Very solid entry, well done!

The tempo is great, and I think this game has so much potential! By the time I got the hang of it, I was losing by a huge point gap haha (ツ)ノ

Nice game! The randomize board keeps the game interesting over multiple rounds.

This would be a great game to have on a two-player game website if you made a two-player mode. One could control with WASD and the other with arrow keys. You'd have to remove the path showing where each player is going to keep the prediction vibe, but maybe that would add an element of memory to the game as well!

Thanks, yeah I think you’re right, 2 player would be good, I’ll plan it out!

Cool game very polished.  Doing the  AI for this must have been a challenge, it  plays really well.

Developer

Yeah, was finding the balance between stopping it win all the time and it being totally useless!

Definitely one my favorite games I’ve played so far. I felt like you did a great job in all five rating categories. I could see you taking the concept so many different places.

Developer

Wow, thanks for the great feedback

Neat concept, it's like a streamlined Robo Rally!  My main complaint is that the computer is too dumb/predicable, but that's to be expected, I guess =).  It also feels a little bit like  whoever happens to be closest to the new, big point spawn is just guaranteed to get it, although I won every game, so maybe that wasn't too big of an issue ^_^.  I feel like this could be interesting as a multiplayer (possibly even N-player, not just 2-player) game, would play well on a big screen with controllers for inputs.  I liked the visuals, it provided a nice mood and felt very consistent.

That was really fun. I didn't expect setting the positions to be so much fun.

The game mechanics are really well-designed! The rules and UI are easy to understand and visually clear, so I was able to get into the game right away. Combined with the cool background music, it was a lot of fun!

Simple, intuitive, and really fun to play! I'd love to see more moves added in future updates. Great job!
