The controls respond well, and I didn't notice any bugs. Some suggestions: add some animation to the robot when it walks, and I think that running towards the files and destroying them immediately was to strong, maybe add a knockback to the robot when the player does it. The particles are nice. About the sound effects, I think that the shots are too loud, it's a bit annoying.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Anna Petrova","author_uid":"1083884","time":"2018-08-16T13:40:29Z","epoch":1534426829,"modified":1534426829,"text":"Funny game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ryunigia","author_uid":"1102425","time":"2018-08-16T13:41:19Z","epoch":1534426879,"modified":1534426879,"text":"The sound is very loud for me some volume control would be much appreciated also... it crashed\n\nIt looks like when i save powerups for later, as soon as i pick up 1 the all disappear?

I beat it on my  first attempt but had fun doing so and there is just the right level of challenge. Sound effects got repetitive after a short while, some music would have helped improve the atmosphere significantly. I liked the sprite work and the user interface was easy to understand. The only things I would think could be improved on would be the general 'game feel', a bit more 'juice' on screen to help the player feel connected would go a long way, and maybe a few additional features such as powerups could help expand the gameplay further. All that being said, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected from the screenshot alone, and I'd probably come back to this one when I had five minutes I wanted to kill. Good work, hopefully I'll see more games from you in the future!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"seizethedia","author_uid":"1004139","time":"2018-08-17T01:30:39Z","epoch":1534469439,"modified":1534469439,"text":"Can't load the page atm, will try again later","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"seizethedia","author_uid":"1004139","time":"2018-08-17T22:54:08Z","epoch":1534546448,"modified":1534546448,"text":"Sooooo close, ran out of disk space right at 4\/4 wave.
