I never did manage the first wave but I had fun dying and though I was failing miserably I was having fun. Music was really superb in combination with the aesthetics and mood. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Things to consider:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Esc to quit the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Have the menu\/introduction disappear with mouse click or add instructions on what button to click\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Add a recharge meter under the hexabot for the blast.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe add some repair kits as well for us less talented players."},{"author_name":"pandamicro","author_uid":"35910","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1418219220,"text":"Quite lovely effect, the control is a little bit frustrating for me."},{"author_name":"orion_black","author_uid":"1990","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1418227560,"text":"I like the general feel of the game, a bit on the floaty side, but still pretty responsive. I think the melee weapon should be power up in some way, aside from finishing up crowds after shooting it's kind of useless. Basically if you miss the penalization is too high. Just by running away and shooting at groups of enemies I got to wave 3 on my second try,  I think, for an action game like this, having interesting risk-reward propositions results in a more engaging experience."},{"author_name":"Mechamew","author_uid":"46811","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 5:09pm","epoch":1418231040,"text":"Fun gameplay and solid action.

Give it a go!\r\n\r\nProtoBot is a game about a tenacious little robot getting ready for the outside world. \r\n\r\nDecades of research have taught the robotologists at HexCorp that freshly-made robots - 'protobots', if you will - have a tendency to malfunction very quickly if not properly equipped to withstand challenging environments. The required training is fast, hard and often lethal. Many robots don't even make it past the first wave.\r\n\r\nYou are not those robots. You are *the* ProtoBot. You will survive, avoiding hostile swarms and deadly hazards, and emerge into the outside world battle-forged and ready for anything.\r\n\r\n\r\nFailing that, you'll at least beat the first wave...
