Constantly having to stop platforming to collect the necessary parts to progress got annoying. Reducing the requirements for upgrades would've helped, as the length of this game felt very artificial. Also, spikes insta-killing felt unfair, but I appreciate dropping your inventory on death so it didn't bug me too much.\n\nOther than the grinding, the art and music was definitely nice, and the platforming was very creative, good job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1005313,"author_name":"Nanamaki","author_uid":"nanamaki","epoch":1696428504,"text":"Oh god this cost so much time to get used to the control.

The shooting as well was a bit hard to use. Maybe you could make it so the the mouse aims and make the bullets last a lot longer? The enemies were quite spongy too. I liked the idea of having a very small inventory but if the crafting requirements were reduced and your movement speed was faster then I think the grinding wouldn't be so bad.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1008708,"author_name":"He Li","author_uid":"he-li","epoch":1696468633,"text":"Great drawings! graphic style is really consistent and coherent. though the game is bit hard for me \n\nalso there is potential for improvement in movements.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1008713,"author_name":"PabloAbraham","author_uid":"pabloabraham","epoch":1696468802,"text":"I really liked the retro style of RoboRage!

Once I got the hang of the controls and movement, seeing how much farther I could push my abilities at each enemy spawner was a fun time.

That being said, the fundational mechanic of shooting down to boost the height had a very limited time space to be effective, and it was really important to use. The vairance of height of jumps made what was otherwise a fun platformer into a furstrtating experience. The upgrading felt great even if it made grinding become part of the game.

Getting used to the platforming is the most difficult part, but when you figure out the timing, its satisfying to hit those multi-jump combos! If the game gets made to be longer, maybe drawing out the learning curve might make it easier for players. ALSO, funny glitch, you can time your jumps to jump off of spikes, treating them like floors. It's very funny. Love the music and art, and overall had a great time.
