Coolness★★★★★★★★★★87%
You are a guy that lives in a small house and one day you found a robot hand. It is a very rare weapon.

The next day the robots went out to attack you because they want to get the robot hand back.

Try to beat my best score, 393! (Old game)

Pro Tips:
Don't hold down the movement keys too long!
Use your jetpack to throw bombs. Don't waste fuel!
Keep the robots close to each other, so they don't guard the items.
Don't stand in the middle of the battlefield!
If you think the controls are awkward, try the post compo version! :)

Cool jetpack and bombing mechanics, nice job! :)

Wow! Looks good, but is sooo confusing. Resolution is all blurred out(use SamplerState.PointClamp instead at spriteBatch.Draw method). I'm going crazy fast and I've no idea what I'm doing. Hilarious!
I like the graphics, even though I find them a little ugly. Audio is nice, it's fun to do.
Great work!

Nice! I think the graphics works fine :) I had some trouble with the movement, I ended up gliding around while frantically pressing C without much control.. Might try it again later though. I want to beat that 241-score..

Controls need to be toned down. I know you say not to hold the keys down for too long, but the game is still way too hard to control. Other than that, nice job.

Controls are super slidey, enemies spawning felt like it ramped up rather quickly, I didn't feel like there was much strategy, but I could have missed some aspect of the game.

Fun mechanics, but I do not like the art style :P But its Ludum Dare so yeah :P

WOw controls are awkward. That make the game quite fun and more original though. I'll never beat your score...

AnnaGavaldalKedavra: I laughed so hard when I read your comment XD
Thanks :)

I scored 23. Didn't know if I was even dealing damage.
Controls are too sensitive. I held up (with jetpack) for less than half a second and I went off screen. It would help if there was a pointer to show at least my horizontal position so I know where to drop bombs. :)

All in all, it's ok.

It didn't seem to want to launch for me. Possibly a windows 8 thing?

Did you read the Readme.txt file? IT says that if it's not working you may run the xnafx40_redist.msi file.

The controls are really awkward and I struggled to do anything but run face first into the robots.
