The delayed input adds great depth to the experience. Great execution of the theme! gg

What an incredible work. I like that you included a tutorial for the game.

I really like the hand made design all the way long. The game is a little bit difficult to familiar with but as you play it is ok. 3 bosses to beat (at least) and a reminder of the 2 first on the last one, i love the idea.

The last boss is really tough ^^'.

The audio part is also great it fits totally with the theme.

Good job!

The music and sound effects are great! The controls being on a cool down felt a bit janky but I got used to it eventually.

I love this!! The delayed inputs really introduce a nice layer of strategy to the gameplay!! With a bit of polish I could definitely see this becoming a big hit!!

Really creative idea! I love the way the mechanic works but I did find it a bit too overwhelming getting introduced to all the mechanics at once at the start xD. I do feel like this game has a HUGEEE potential to be a full on game with more tweaks. The boss fight feels a bit unforgiving for me (but it could just be a skill issue on my part lol). I do also wish there were more narrative integration and also a bit more polish on the artwork. The audio is awesome though! Overall, this was a creative experience but it could be improved further to make it more awesome! Great work!!

Really creative, I don't think I ever seen any game like it

The game was hard to pick up at first because I was so used to controls not having a delay, but definitely quite fun to play through.

Two things though: I would recommend giving some of the bosses collision on all parts, as i kept using the booster forward and expected myself to be stopped by a hand or something; and the second is that I hoped the menu could be cleaned up slightly. Really fun and creative, I like it overall!

What an incredibly creative game! The delayed signal mechanic is a brilliant idea, and taking down giant robots with a tiny one is extremely rewarding. Fantastic work!

Thanks! I do believe I made the game too hard cuz it seems like nobody in the comments managed to get past the 1st boss lol.

Tried it out! I left a comment.

My brain hurts a bit haha. I think the idea is great and could be executed very well, but I think it felt more difficult to control here. Maybe locking onto a more defined grid would help

Developer

That would make more sense yes. It’s kind of inspired by robo rally, and that uses a grid. Thanks!

Definitely one of the most creative games I played, also I was not ready to face that big robot game after barely beating the tutorial lol, I had fun playing this

Thank you! I kept to the rules of “best content first”, so that robot id the 1st one you see.

Hey !

Great concept! It is quite funny and exciting to prepare our actions and then see them unravell in front of us.

The animation of the Robot Boss are smoothhhh, well done!

And the choice of music is RIGHT on track with the game feel.

Overall I had a great time playing it.

I do lack feedbacks when hitting the boss, wasn't sure if i was doing any damages or not


Well done for your work and end result! Keep it up!

Thank you! Feedback on hitting the boss was on my to-do liet, but I guess I totally forgot about it😅.
