The laser arms were great fun to play with. The ship controls not so much.
The physics seem broken with the raise/lower control so it was hard to move it accurately.
Forward and backward were inverted on the centre stick.
The player hands started jittering like crazy after a while and it became unplayable, so I never collected the full 50. I couldn't see any more civilians around by that point anyway.
It could do with more ambient sounds, like screams of the people, or big stompy footsteps of your vehicle. Not sure if it was supposed to be a legged machine. It felt like it should be.
My complaints are these:
The player is not parented to the room (I think) which causes this nauseating jitter all the time, which also makes the controls difficult to use. And I got totally stuck in a wall at the end.
The center control stick is inverted, which it doesn't need to be. My experience is that most people get annoyed with inverted controls and I feel the same.
There should be some explosion noises or something, and more dramatic noises when I knock things around with the robo hands
I was confused about how I won.
Anyway, I had a smile on my face while I was playing this, the whole concept felt awesome and funny. Great submission!
