There seemed to be a huge difficulty spike there. The main frustration comes from the bomb's timer; if the bomb just detonated when it hit a robot, it would be far more easy to play and more fun. I can't evaluate further because of the difficulty spike in room three."},{"author_name":"7Soul","author_uid":"2958","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 3:09am","epoch":1355799840,"text":"I liked it, a few problems here and there but overall a nice game. Only problem is that it glitched at the end. I got to the robot boss, he said something then I died immediately.

But in the Final boss room, the room height is 480 and since the player is below the room for a slip second, the game thinks he fell and died down a bottomless pit.
