Good game! I especially liked work with sound: music is very rocky (?) and perfectly fits the game, and sfx make it juicy and polished. That is something I think 90-s rave parties felt like.

At first I didn't understand that you have to pass the package between two characters and tried to outrun the timer and get through a level in 10 seconds. But on 5th try it clicked.

Difficulty curve is nice, as well as level variety. It would be nice to be able to choose the level, 'cause I got stuck at some point and couldn't see if there are any new mechanics or ideas later.

Overall, great job!

This was really really hard. Just trying to pass the package about and knowing which robot was which... but well made and interesting use of the theme. I managed to complete the first level after a bunch of attempts, and with that in mind I would suggest making the first enemies - or enemies on the first levels a bit easier. Perhaps only taking one hit and slower to shoot.

Nice game though!

I love how the cute little robot legs move! The dual-control mechanics are used nicely, I like how the non-package robot fires missiles at enemies, and how you can throw the package to the wrong place if you move the robot that's receiving it. Nice aesthetics and music.

I have to agree that the game was somewhat hard, but once you got into it, it was really enjoyable. I liked the idea and the constant juggling you had to do - to ensure neither bot explodes and make it possible for the threatened bot to shoot at enemies! Very creative and fun concept :)

Hard game, but the "two characters for one player" works really well and gives depth to the game.

Nice entry, well done !

really fun! as other people have said, it's pretty hard but you get the hang of it. seems like it'd be most fun to play locally with someone else at the same computer

Loved the double input mechanic! Was difficult and I sometimes felt I couldn't see very far, but overall enjoyed it:)

Definetly a fun game, it might help to pan the camera out a bit since at a lot of the times only one player can see thier vehicle.

Wow! What a lovely small game with quite challenging mechanic. I really had to think through to sync my brain parts to work together. It's really cool how such a small mechanic might be working pretty cool overall!

I love it, and regarding graphics, THOSE LEGS ARE SO ADORABLE! :smile:

Love it overall, dude!

A very novel concept! I found it very hard to keep track of which robot is controlled with which keys, but that makes it feel like there's a lot of depth to had in this idea. It feels like an idea that could develop well with different puzzle ideas. You delivered a game with a very unique idea!

Funny! It needs multiplayer. And maybe some ingame tutorial notes. Good job!

Really solid game. From the gameplay - simple yet amazing idea of coordinating two objects, to well-suited sounds and graphics design which reminds me of older rogue-likes. I really enjoyed playing it.

An interesting game and a cool setting with delivery robots. Intuitive controls, and you can even cooperate with a friend, like in old flash games. Cool visual style and music suitable for it. Great job!
