The game idea is great, but it's really difficult to avoid getting shot. The voice is interesting, but also a bit difficult to understand what she says. The buttons also needs a sound when you uses them. Overall is this an okay jam game, but it's need a bit more work to be really fun to play.

The concept is cool, but it's pretty hard. I couldn't get throught the 1st level (are there any other?). I guess the robot is too fast. And the whole scene is a bit dark. First I didn't see the button on the wall. Some Indicator would be cool to see what have happened after I pressed it. By the way, nice entry!

Man...this is tough, I can't get past the first robot. Graphics are clean though!

the graphics are nice as i love portal-like games
but the gameplay was a bit rough, it was challenging for sure, but i don't think it was *fun*

I would have loved to see the levels from the screenshots. But I too am not good enough to even pass the trial. Still, I liked what I saw.

The concept is great, but if I'm perfectly honest, the execution needs a lot of work. The audio is way too loud, and I have no idea what the A.I is saying, you should have used a better text-to-speech machine, or voice acted it yourself. Also what's going on with the crosshair? It's all over the place. Otherwise I like the art, and the robot design is cool. With some polish it will definitely be a great game :)

Just make the downloadable version in itch.io, that would make it better

This was a somewhat confusing game imo. I managed to get to level 3 before quitting. I would say it's way too hard, and also the fact that the audio repeats each time you die (which is frequent) gets annoying very quickly. Good job on finishing though

Good graphics, audio is too loud and voice need a lot of work too. Game is too hard, take forever to pass the 1st robot. Overall: good concept bad execution

A good idea for game but as others have said it is a bit too difficult and confusing. In the future having someone playtest your game during development is a good way to see how other players might react and can be helpful for adjusting difficulty before you release a game!

Nice idea, good controls and good graphics. The AI voice is cool too.

Waaay to hard and unclear for me though :robot:

Well that was a little bit impossible! Couldn't get past the first level. I liked the voice and the writing though and the graphics were nice. For some reason I couldn't press the button at all.
