A co-operative game for 1-2 players

Blue SanitationBot 70™: WASD and Shift

Pink SanitationBot 70™: Arrow keys and Ctrl

This is a nice little game. I understood what I was supposed to do right out of the bat, but the controls were very fiddly. I think that more normal top down controller would work better than tank-ish controls.

Funny game! Poor robots... We survived 79 seconds. I'm not sure, if our work delayed the inevidable. Maybe a bit more feedback, e.g. the sound of the machine changing, would help.

Nice game! It was very fun trying to control both robots, it fits the theme as the crusher is going to do it in the end! The graphics are simplyfing style and cool too, great work! :v:

Fun little game. Made it to 86 seconds and that's with mostly steel coming out at the beginning. Interesting concept. As a single player I didn't feel like it was making much difference as the pink player was doing nothing. Perhaps an AI could be added to help out in 1 player games?

I liked the idea but the controls are a bit off for me. The robots seemed to move in the reverse direction I expected.

Maybe adding a way to add some time to your survival time or stop/move back the jaws would make the game more fun.

Nice game, I really like the idea! The fact that it works singleplayer as well as coop makes it even better. Great job!

Intressting concept. I had fun playing it. I found tha tif you do nothing you life for 66 seconds. I did this to check that what i was doing actually did something. :-) I survived for 83 seconds. Some anymation that what you did had an effect would be nice. Overall great entry. Good Job.

Cool game. I really like your approach to the theme. The gameplay, art style, and audio work really well together.
