How does your game fit the theme?
You play a kamikaze robot who's goal is the survive long enough to get the countdown to 0 than blow up. Attacking also speeds up the countdown for some reason idk don't ask me.

It was pretty fun. I didn't relly make it far because I suck at the game but it was still fun when I was able to do stuff.
I tried... but unfortunately I have something called a "skill issue" so I don't think I was even able to get past the one minute mark 😭😭😭😭. That said, I think it's a very creative concept, the artwork is simple but effective. The music really drives you to keep trying even if you have skill issues like me 😭. And the narrative was cool though I got a bit confused as to why these two guys were fighting.
I wish I was able to see the ending, but Im sure it would take me a lot of tries to get there 😭
ty for playing and glad you enjoyed!!! if you really think you cant beat it than theres a vod of someone here, tho i encourage you to keep trying!! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2832847442 and also in a nutshell, they're both the results of an arms race spanning thousands of years between 2 fighting states. rubos more of a traditional emotionless robot while X3 is more dramatic but one of them has to win due to there not being enough resources left on earth for both states. the story was kind of a strange blend between absurdist humor and me actually trying to world build tho so i dont blame you for finding it confusing. still, ty for the feedback!
Really cool game! This gave me an experience of a boss fight though I dont play that much platformers so it was really HARD for me. I attempted so manyy times but unfortunately I wasn't able to beat it! I still had fun attempting it though but I do feel like the jump to it is targeted to people that are more experienced in the genre. I can tell a lot of love was put in the narrative which was great and the artwork is also very stylized which is really cool! The audio is also integrated quite well! Overall, I had fun attempting this game but I wish there were a more easier option for it xD. Great work!!
Im a huge fan of both hollow knight and cuphead and I would really like to see you develop this further into a boss rush game. Easiest 5 out of 5 of the jam for me
Crazy fun !The humor , them power poses , the craziness, the epic battle music and cute little rubo ! absolute epic boss cinema. Really fun experience . My kind of humor . Im covered in goosebumps playing this game. I feel like I cant enjoy anything after playing this. I need to become a hermit Ive seen it all
Absolute cinema indeed. Truly the cinematic experience of a lifetime and makes me wonder why people even watch movies anymore when this is the kind of stuff game jams are dealing with. No hollywood movie can deliver this level of narrative AND give me a dope boss fight along with it.
Only issue I've had were some of the awkward hitboxes but no complaint otherwise for what this game is trying to do.

Truly a beautiful game. 10/10
all jokes aside, this was a really solid game! great balance of funny text and art with genuinely challenging and interesting boss fight mechanics. i'm quite fond of the art style, and the music fits in really well. those tiny bullets combined with the laser kept getting me lol. charming game, great work!
omg this is like this first time ive ever gotten fanart for anything ive made tysm!!!!🥹
Such a well crafted game! The experience of a final boss without all the filler to get there!
okay this will sound insane if it's wrong but is that lancer from Ribbit???
really charming and funny little experience, I like when boss fights actually force you to respect the bosses attacks and this is a cool way to do that. though I accidentally spammed through the opening cutscene so I didn't realize hitting the boss actually reduced the time so I just learned the attacks and locked in for a minute and a half. woops
how do i keep getting all the ribbit players, everyone's noticing my blatant plagiarization 😭(ty for playing tho!!! glad you enjoyed)
It's so much fun and a great challenge!~!!
Pretty solid game with a funny story. Its quite hard to dodge the attacks but other than that, great job!
Super fun! Ending made me laugh out loud with the anim + sound effect lmao. good work
pretty cool game :)
Really fun but omg are the motorcycles hitbox soooo hard to dodge aghhh. I really enjoyed the little characters. The story was pretty funny paired with the audio. Great job and I especially liked the ending hehe.
wait just realized i never said that literally everything was pogo'able and tried beating the game without it, yeah its borderline impossible thats one me sorry lol. ty for playing tho glad you enjoyed!!
YOU CAN POGO! NOOOOO! thrashing around screaming
im biased beecause hollow knight and dm; dokuro and ribbit lancer aa
The bossfight is good, well telegraphed, and the timer mechanic is creative.
FUCK someone recognized my blatant character theft (tysm tho!!!)
Peak Cinema, you've made a banger boss fight yet again!
On a more serious note, This was an insanely cool take on the idea of a timed boss fight and figuring out a balance between zoning out the boss and getting hits in was really fun since the win condition was so vastly different from most games, you knocked this out of the park!
And the ending was really funny too, it was absolutely worth the effort of finishing the game
Really really fun, loved using the pogos to dodge stuff, also DM Dokuro's Descent was my outro music on youtube for years so that was surreal to hear lol
Aside from bugs others have mentioned, the hitboxes for the lightning felt a little unforgiving, I could swear i'd be standing right outside of the visual and still die anyways. Probably a skill issue though. That ending had me laughing my ass off btw
tysm for the feedback!! (dm dokuro the goat, the second i realized they allowed their music to be used for unmonetized games i started milking it dry). i remember making the lightning's hitbox like super thin but im pretty sure i accidently made the shake affect apply to the hitbox too rather than just the display cause its range to like triple. that ones on me
Really fun game. I don'T know if it was intentional but I just kept walking to the side and the boss couldn'T hit me. Really intersting game.

ty!! im guessing you ended up clipping through the wall and falling off the map tho?? other people have mentioned something like that so its prolly just a bug on my part.
Fun game, funny, and hits the charm of an old newgrounds game! Funny ending.
ty!
