Loving the vibe!\rWhen I saw the thumbnail I knew right away that I was in for some robotic goodness. I was not disappointed :)\rThe game looks and feels really good. Because of the format, it looks like it was originally designed for mobile, but the experience is good in the web browser nonetheless. Once again, fantastic aesthetics, and a totally unique gameplay!"},{"author_name":"brainybeard","author_uid":"65920","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:54am","epoch":1472554140,"text":"Nice game.

For one, the notes were usually off-beat from the main music, so it was really hard to get the right rhythm down.

Really love the bold, colourful art style and I've always thought making a music rhythm game is quite difficult, so props for making one!\r\rI found the controls very hard to get a hold of - mostly it was not understanding that the circle was triggered on the beat, so you could wait till bar 3\/4 and have longer to get ready on the controls.\r\rAlso, making the robots have different time patterns is good, but when you first play the game you have a three second window to click, absorb everything, then make a decision - it's quite overwhelming as a player to be thrown into the deep end so quickly.\r\rFun game and love the music.

Basic interaction on how to move them around is really great and after a while I realized one could optimize for poly-relationships to get the best score.
