The movements of the other players/scientists? was pretty good! It felt like being in multiplayer and the others are very rude XD

Fun game! It took me a couple rounds to get used to the controls, but after a couple rounds the controls felt nice and fluid. I'd love to play a multiplayer version of this with friends--it'd be a blast. Also, the music slaps!

Some more variety in the gameplay I think would be all I'd recommend to round out the experience.

Wow, fun game. I liked the idea of carrying boxes so as not to explode. Really unstable reactor

Really good! Had a lot of fun once I figured out what was happening. The "enemies" felt REALLY smooth and it was very satisfying to dodge their attacks! Great entrance!

That was so much fun :). I agree with previous commenters that this would make an absolutely awesome multiplayer game. Really, really enjoyed it.

I really liked this, the gameplay was nice and simple and the controls were unique, I found that after a few minutes I was just camping the reactor and letting the bots cool the reactor while trying to hit me, I ended up quitting at around 8K points. Overall a very great effort!

really cool game! i only wish dash was on spacebar, it's a bit unusual for games to have shift-dash

Got just over 10k points! This game had really good game-feel from the sound effects to the screen flashes which made it really hectic and satisfying when you eventually got out of a pile-up. Liked the music too, nice work!

Nice game! The mechanics are solid but its too easy once you figure out the AI. I just stood infront of the reactor and let them collect and throw the green boxes at me. Could probably have stood there all day.

This feels exactly like every online game ever. (And I mean that in a good way) Very well-made, I love how you can just make the AIs do everything for you! (Thanks @memoryfloater 😉)

I died with

but some of the AIs spawned after the reactor became unstable and kept throwing stuff everywhere, so I managed to boost my score by doing nothing.

Heck, I'll gladly take an extra 2000 points!

Funny game, noticed it keeps the score when you press reset so you can keep gaining points lol

Pretty fun game. The AI is fun. Btw the score stays the same between restarts.
It's very similar to my game lol.

Fun game. Looks very nice. Picking up stuff is a tad awkward, but I was able to get used to it. Awesome entry!
