It's a really high-quality game,  I just think the charged attack is so strong and powerful that the normal attack loses its purpose.

This is a fun game! I enjoyed the interplay between moving to charge the weapon, and speed is affected by how much charge you have. Short and sweet submission while being well-rounded and polished. Great job!

An authentically Game Boy game with good controls and a fun sense of humour! I also think the battery power and recharging mechanics are a fun and unique twist to combat. (as well as the detail of moving slower when battery power isn't full). Maybe there should've been a way to heal, but since you respawn at the beginning of where you die it's not too big of a deal.

Overall, you guys did a great job with this!

The dialogue cracked me up. Charging the robot's battery before each attack adds a fun twist to combat. Great stuff!

Very gameboy-like! The combat feels snappy and the hitbox was pretty good! Super nice aesthetics overall :)

That was great!

Loved the story, the humor and the battery-based gameplay.

My only nitpick would be that I was fighting the controls a bit at times, but I understand that that’s how things were on gameboy.

Still, really well done :)

This was amazingly well made!!! Great job its fantastic. The dialogue was really funny and engaging, making me want to find out everything they had to say. The sound and art work perfectly together. This is a stellar game  I  finished it, 10/10

I absolutely loved this game. It’s really original, especially the characters and their designs, as well as the dialogue, haha. The music is fantastic too. I wish I could have made a choice at the end, it would have been exciting to experience both situations. Congratulations on the game!!
