The concept is, I think, very damn original. Could be expanded upon a lot, which is why I think you should consider continuing the work on it and try to sell it maybe. Expand on the graphical and audio aspect, as it's where the game is lacking the most (but it's pretty good for a LD game !), balance the systems better (I could basically survive forever with shield + magnet systems on), and finally get some progression in (module upgrades \/ modifications, more enemies...) and you got yourself a very nice, yet simple game with quite a lot of replayability.\n\nFeel free to check our game out : https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/berzerk-hunt","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rigdonware","author_uid":"1034728","time":"2017-08-04T06:01:29Z","epoch":1501826489,"modified":1501826489,"text":"Animations were very good in my opinion graphics can use some enhancement but I really liked the animation when you would shoot.

The extra layer of juggling the different systems was an interesting addition, which included a certain tactical element to the game as well.\n\nI would suggest adding hotkeys for the systems (e.g. using the number keys), and making the movement keys be relative to the direction the robot is facing. The shield was an extremely powerful weapon, perhaps it should just have repelled the enemies instead of killing them. \n\nThe game was a good fit to the theme, and the music was a nice touch. Without using the shield, my record time was 142 seconds.\n\nBy the way, you should consider \"hearting\" the comments\/feedback that you find useful. It encourages other people to also leave good comments, and it is an important part of the new karma algorithm on the ldjam website :-)\n\n>Swarmed by robot foes!  \n>Engage systems!
