The gameplay is really smooth and satisfying, though some of the art is kind of blurry. Had a lot of fun in those 5 minutes !

Fun game but the enemies were really small and somewhat blended in with the background so they were hard to see. Lots of robits from this theme and I love it.

I think it should be called teeny tiny bats vs robo q-bert.

Classic, good gameplay, good jump and shoot feeling, good animations and effects, well balance difficulty and exploration over levels... what can I say? Simply one of the best games I've played from the Jam so far. The only thing I would improve is enemy variety. Since exploration is rewarding and well done, it will nail it if there were more enemies of different types.
Nevertheless, excellent work!!

Bug: If I press ESC in the Menu the background disappears.

Gameplay is nice, the level seems to be too complex for me (I've found just 1 chargepad).

The game was well made. cool sfx and graphics. One thing you could have done to improve is give the game a goal instead of a score. Overall well made though.

It's a great game, the art it's not amazing, but it's cool. This game remember me games like metroid and castlevania, because of the exploration in a 2D World. Has a lot of potential!!

A solid, well-put-together and simple game, fun to play if a bit repetitive. Everything handled quite smoothly and there's a respectable little bit of tension that comes from blasting around tunnels trying to make it to the next charging station in time. I also like your clear anti-capitalist message, represented by the foreign intrusion of industry into nature. The bats are mere innocent bystanders reacting to this invasion of their natural habitat, while the robots are the disposable minions of capital - if one dies, another is sent in its place, the body is not even retrieved. Is this invasion for the sake of civilization? For scientific discovery? No, just raw material wealth, plundering jewels to feed the capitalist hunger for luxury and riches. Bravo, comrade!
