The game looks quite cool it remembers me to the bubble bobble game! :D

I like that you can jump on them to kill the enemies and also the kind of "magnetism" of the batteries to pick them up.

Cool game!

Very good game. :) Some variation would be nice, though.

It`s simple, but really cool to play (but sounds are annoying).

Super hard game. The robots were cute, and it functioned well. Not much variety, as the robots come mostly from the same place. I went several whole games without seeing a battery, and movement drained power so much, that I think my highest scoring efforts were just sitting at the start shooting the cascading eggs. I got stuck in the middle chamber several times with no way out, which was a bit frustrating. A good effort, and I did lose by running out of power.

Nice and fast. Too hard for me, though! =D

I really enjoyed this game, it was fast, challenging and had good controls.
†he graphics were interesting. And the idea is a good idea. The fact that you can't just sit still and shoot the eggs is good because you have to pick up ammo which could risk you losing, and that Is what makes the game challenging and fun

Music and sound effects are nice, and the gameplay is light hearted and fun. Nothing over the top, however it can get fairly repetitive, very good job though! Very hard if you go at the bottom levels, however staying at the top and shooting for batteries seems to be a strategy where you could last forever. Once again good job and best of luck!

Egg robots have a hard yet exciting life. I like the arcade feel and bonus points for using HaxeFlixel.

Really addictive, reminded me of an arcade game. My only gripe is that X is a weird button for shoot, other than that extremely fun.

Fun little game but I didn't really know what to do besides shooting at the enemy. Music fits well.

Classic arcade game, but whats to stop the player just sitting in the spot they spawned and just shooting enemies as the come down? There doesnt seem to be much progression, maybe having an additional enemy that could reach the player (maybe with a jump) to stop camping would help make it a bit more interactive.

Cool start. Love the music. The shooting sound effect is a bit punchy. Thought it was pretty hard at first (the collision boxes might be too big on the enemies?) but found that if I stand in the lower-right and face left mashing the shoot button I'm invincible.

Also, love that the batteries drift toward the player for pickup. Good idea.

Neat little game - Seems like you can just stay on the initial pedestal indefinitely and just kill things to the sides. The screen shake on death is a bit extreme, but nice effect.

The music cracks me up, this game is everything an egg game should be and more. I loved the anxious waiting for a battery as I shot the egg bots. I would love to see different levels of difficulty. I am embarrassed but not at all sorry to say that this game could keep me interested for hours. Good work!

If you just stay where you start, you can kill enemies, collect batteries and not run out of power :P The game itself looks polished and well done :)

I like the music and the art a lot too. Good job everyone!

Good game!
But for some reason the battery only appears when playing for the first time :(
I also think that enemy collisions are too big.
Still, the game is pretty fun.
Good job!

Fun, but the enemies should really follow more varied paths. I ended up sitting at the bottom of the screen where both streams cross and it becomes way too easy: you just need to shoot and sometime get closer to the centre to get some batteries.
