I am not quite sure of the interpretation of the theme in all honesty. But it looked quite interesting so I tried it. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>At first I didn't understand why I don't move fluidly then I read your comment. After that I started spamming movement and suddenly I jumped to the bottom of the screen right from its top. So I stopped spamming directions and started pressing 1 per second. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I noticed then a bug, if you stand where you are and just spam space it kills the robots automatically you don't to move even."},{"author_name":"granut100","author_uid":"27528","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:33pm","epoch":1409092080,"text":"Sorry nevermind, I read the description"},{"author_name":"rd127p77","author_uid":"39898","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:33pm","epoch":1409092080,"text":"Love It, Nice Casual Game, When Bored."},{"author_name":"DarkCart","author_uid":"41601","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:37pm","epoch":1409092320,"text":"My interpretation was humans (Earth) vs. Robots (Some distant planet, not discovered yet).
