Love the fact that you can customize the look of the character! But I didn't get the chance to buy anything as I didn't know what to do exactly. It might be a bug? Do fix it up as I'd love to play!

I *loved* the various missions! It was very entertaining!

Good game, but very hard to start. Human Jump and Bug Jump are absolutely useless.

Then, when you get Turtle Jump and Kilo Buster, you don't need anything else to finish the game at all. Too bad that, after winning, I can't even return to buy new stuff and have to restart to see all the parts.

Some weird walking animation is going on with Metal and MBat Legs equipped.

Also you can't shoot the energy weapons from the left edge of the screen - shots disappear.

killmonday, it seems that you've downloaded something wrong, this game isn't supposed to run in DOS window. Try again.

I love the music, the graphics, the all retro feel of it. Your interpretation of the theme is nice, one of the best games I've tested so far! :)
But the 3 seconds to wait before the start of each mission are waaaaaaaaaaay to long :p

I did not like that mission begins far too long. Just a pity that I was not allowed to play again after a victory, because I had not the best upgrades. It would be great to see the development of such a game.

Would make a really fun expanded game. For now I only got to buy 2 components before beating it. D: Fun though. :)

I really like the concept of the game, and the customization options!

I thought it was a little hard at the beggining.

This is a great game and could be a very nice iOS release. Keep working on it!

Really neat concept. I would have preferred to have been able to skip the mission intros.

If you're thinking of extending this past the compo, definitely add more variety to the missions. It could use something more (not sure what) than shooting things.
