Shooting is wonky as hell though, seriously. Also walking around is kind of counter intuitive (I know I said it wouldn't be but after a few rounds it didn't get much better :p), but that's kind of hard to solve for an isometric game. The gameplay is actually pretty fun once you get the steering of the robot down and figure out what the drops do.

This is awesome! \r<br\/>But it was very hard to play because the controls are way different to other games of this kind... If you would polish the controls and the enemy movement this game would be a very good rated game. I really love the art... Good job!"},{"author_name":"davidkanc","author_uid":"92874","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:06am","epoch":1461060060,"text":"Man! this art is awesome! control is a bit confused because sometimes I wanted to go in a different direction but is fun and... hard! congratulations!"},{"author_name":"monaarc","author_uid":"34192","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:12am","epoch":1461060420,"text":"the controls are a bit confusing but after few minutes playing, i get used to it :)\r<br\/>The graphics are awesome, the music fits very well with the idea.\r<br\/>I think it could be good to see the bullets because i don't know exactly where i'm shooting, sometimes i thought i was front of the viruses but i didn't kill them (the isometric view can be a trap ^^)\r<br\/>Nice game, i think it deserves a bit more work to be GREAAAAAAT !"},{"author_name":"IcyLava","author_uid":"36159","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 10:13am","epoch":1461060480,"text":"It seems like the robots die only if they are right in front of you when your shooting animation finishes, you really need to fix that.

The problem was I still ended up without the ammunition. I think you should add more creates with ammunition in the time between the rounds because I was always waiting for the next enemies without ammo - kinda frustrating :-) Graphics was very nice but maybe the robot should do some other kind of movement when standing still, i am not sure which one, but this didn't look very robotic :-)"},{"author_name":"siryakko","author_uid":"49920","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 11:16am","epoch":1461409860,"text":"The art direction is really good, the controls are a bit sensible and sometimes buggy."},{"author_name":"guoboism","author_uid":"24432","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 11:07pm","epoch":1461711720,"text":"Well Mac runs well, and I like the graphic and animation\r<br\/>But also things to improve: not using the 45 degree view port with arrow key control, add some bullets"},{"author_name":"solkar","author_uid":"9271","time":"Apr 29, 2016 @ 11:39am","epoch":1461929640,"text":"I like the atmosphere but the robot holding a handgun looks a bit off for me.
