I wasn't bored, just lost any indication.  Add that and this could be a really cool mobile game.

It's simple, but an interesting twist on the match genre. The aesthetics are pretty great, and I like the sound effects. I would love to see this developed a bit further. Some clearer instructions would help make this easier to understand though."},{"author_name":"mauris","author_uid":"41250","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:03pm","epoch":1418054280,"text":"Enjoyed playing. If you add more animations and FX to robots taking down boss it would be an amazing game:)"},{"author_name":"brainstorm","author_uid":"44355","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1418054640,"text":"Innovation 4\/5: I really liked this mix between match and tower defense!!!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fun 4\/5: It's fun, but after playing a while it's a bit repetitive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Theme 3\/5: It simply is runned in one screen but it doesn' have any reference.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics 4\/5: Simple and well done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Audio 3\/5: Great music but annoying sfx.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Humor 2\/5: I can't really rate that category, I couldn't find nothing of humour.

It's amusing how we kinda forget about the robots sometimes and just play to match colors I had to actually tell myself to look for the right colors :) Good job!"},{"author_name":"daviosmash","author_uid":"44180","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:20pm","epoch":1418055300,"text":"Really liked it!

And more things should happen on robot part of the screen so the player has to make smart choices of components at the right time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only drawback besides balance is that the theme is only considered as a limitation, not an inspiration.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, really nice, release it fast on mobile before I get tempted to make my own variation :p"},{"author_name":"GAFBlizzard","author_uid":"12278","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 12:06pm","epoch":1418212860,"text":"The sound effects were really ear-piercing but thankfully you included a button to toggle them off.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I think this is a great game idea!  You should continue it and try making a full game.  As someone else mentioned there should really be a win notice though.  I was confused why the timer wasn't increasing and had apparently been playing, with a crowd of robots attacking, some time after actually winning."},{"author_name":"UrbanLogicGames","author_uid":"47523","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 2:39pm","epoch":1418222040,"text":"Interesting idea, I like the presentation. Took me a while to figure out how to play, but once I got the hang of it I liked it. Puzzle fighter has a similar hook, but I think this feels more deliberate when you play it.
