I think the controls and feels a bit slippery, combined with the enemies the game feels super hard.
Not sure if the abilities have cool downs but couldn't work out how the dash worked.
Graphics are really nice for the enemies and background set!
Keep it up chief :)
The voice over was great, but there were a few places where if you moved too fast or died too fast, it would cut off or step on itself in a slightly awkward way.
Great game though. I played through to the end.
Still, it was a very fun game and I got some "Will you snail?" vibes from the evil A.I. Great job!
There's a lot of really nice level design in here and different enemy robots scattered around each level are a good touch too, well done!
