Actually I disagree with rincewind, not saying their wrong, but I like the minimalistic-ness and the game is actually quite fun, if you couldn't destroy the robots it would be boring, but because their is a method to fighting them it gives you hope to fight on. My only suggestion would be to make the levels either change after time or have moving obstacles to make it more interesting.
Nice Simple idea. Being able to move diagonally means you can forever out run the bad guys. Also about 16ish robots in, they all stopping moving and just started jittering.
The idea is pretty interesting, but it lacks content. It was fun running away from robots first few minutes, but then I figured out the best strategy and the game became doing the same thing over and over. You should add some variety. Different levels, for example, or different enemies.
Also, I managed to block the passage to the right of the central wall. I think, theoretically it's possible to block both of them.
A simple game, but rather enjoyable! It does what it set out to do. Path finding works well. I like the mechanic/strategy. varying the level layout would be good.
It's a decent enough game. I like when two snowbots hit each other. Heh. At first I thought, you have to get to that spawner to actually escape really but then I notice its impossible.
Somehow, this feels like a really good game. It's really small and minimalistic. You can't really win, but you can crash two evil snowmans into each other which is very fun to do. I see myself constantly trying to get a higher score, finding new strategies, and it keeps being fun unlike some other games. It's really balanced. The fact that you could move diagonally, gives you the feeling you can actually outrun and beat those evil snowmans. Sounds would have been a nice touch, other levels would have been nice too, but it's still a complete game without it.
Definetly one of my favorite games. Great submission.
Reminds me a little of the classic Unix game "robots" (except real-time and with graphics). Because of this, and because the fire stayed on the screen, I kept expecting the robots to crash into the burning wreckage of other robots.

I like the burning snowmen of evil. That was a nice touch.

I think trying to make less repetitive can improve it.
I would have like a bit of audio, too.
Lovely graphics!
