Also, there may need to be a bit of tweaking for the first time player. I guess I went the wrong path initially because I didn't see my first robot until like 65 seconds into my first game.

Died 6 more times immediately after....
Explored during that time. Adjusted the strategy: *just hide*. in that long hallway....
I'm typing this as I survive ;), 194 and counting....
In all seriousness, it's a good game, because of the restrictive sight, the scary robot sounds, and the goal of defeating machine generating spots. (245)

So I made a pact with myself that I will continue to give a review until I lose. Hopefully these little guys have more than pure random AI....

**Okay yeah, I give up. It's inevitable that I lose, because I have to go to bed haha. Thanks again!**

Great job!!
I found this spot where they couldn't find me and afk'ed there for a bit. I think its infinite points and I have delayed the inevitable! =P
I thought the visuals and audio were great and created a really nice atmosphere! Well done!
I'd probably also suggest making some tutorial instructions or control guide available, just something to explain what the numbers are object are, but otherwise this was a nice entry!
Other than that, great atmosphere :)
