Best time: 480 Seconds, 19 Enemies exterminated. I love the speedy robot, reminiscent of N64 Micro Machines. Really good game!

Surprisingly fun, but you should make it such that you always spawn as the speedy robot (it's the most fun having to outsmart/outrun your enemies).

Fun game! A lot of battles aren't terribly exciting, though, when two people just face off, drilling each other. I'd like to see upgrades or powerups just so there'd be ways to turn the tide of battle in your favor :]

I originally thought that this game would be no good, no offense, mostly because of the art style presented, but after playing it for about 15 minutes, I see that this game has a very original gameplay and is almost like an Atari game, which is hard to replicate to a tee, in my opinion. That being said, the art style was still gross, no music, it didn't really need, and character speed could have been upped to improve the flow. As a result, the game wasn't that fun.
Despite all of these problems, I did actually enjoy the end product. While it was a perfect game, it was more than adequate, and definitely one of the better games that I've played so far. Good work.

Surprisingly more fun then a thought it would be, but but for a weird reason. It a lot harder than it really should be but after playing for a bit I was able to scrap some strategies together and rack up 17 kills. It reminds me of some of our recent games where we didn't have enough time to polish it up so it's playable but really unevenly built.
