I would have liked a dash or push away mechanic for when you get too swarmed. But really liked the idea thought it was very clever take on the theme by not having 2 control buttons but 2 actual buttons. There’s lots of cool things you could add with future levels as well

Great job on this !

Very tense and fast paced but not rage inducing difficult after some practice. Well done this is a solid game or at least prototype for something later on. 

P.S The little robots remind me of the scary robot dog like thing in that episode of Black Mirror. That one was relentless too like these little guys are in the game.

Actual Theme game :) It wasn't too hard to get the buttons pressed, which was nice. This is definitely a game that needs further development.

Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it wasn't too difficult. Would love to work on this more in the future and add some multiplayer features.

Nice work! Good use of theme!

A bit easy perhaps, but as a jam prototype, excellent!

Hope you keep working on this!

It's funny as I had a few people play it and they found it too hard. I was worried people would be put off by the difficulty. Fortunately that's not the case. Certainly this game would benefit from different difficulty modes

Unique interpretation of the two buttons theme! Not directly affecting the player/character like most games! Great job. Love the graphics and the gameplay is bug free. Would have loved more of a push look on the buttons but it didn't ruin the game at all.

Thank you and glad you had fun. I think it has become evident that a few more visual identifiers would have enhanced the experience so will definitely take that on board. But glad it's bug free! 😁

I enjoyed playing. But the button sprites stay the same when pressed, and the robots show no sign of being hit until they die. Needs more juice!

My Rating:

Yes the animation change on the button is too subtle and their needs to be more impact effects. Will definitely take this on board! Thanks for the feedback.

Ey man, nice entry.
By the way for a Topdown shooter like this, try to implement some of this tips from this video. you need more juice.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. If I had more time would have polished it more but realistically I only had about 8 hours the smash this out over the weekend.
