Psycho responds:

Try turning the quality to LOW (right click >> quality).

Good news, bad news.

The good news is that any game where you need to fight against gravity using controlled burns of a thruster is automatically fun.

The bad news is that the gravity seems inconsistent, flying right is glitched (causing you to fly far too fast), and the music is such a bad part it requires its own paragraph!

The music is annoying and horribly repetative. That problem can be solved by turning off the speakers to your computer. BUT! Everytime the song ends, it repeats itself, and whenever it starts itself over again, the entire game lags. It's not a very long lag spike, but considering how touchy controlled burns are, it's enough to guarantee you get killed should you happen to be in mid-flight.

This game is definitely good enough to warrant updating it with a better version; I recommend a little dowhacky in the corner you can click on, and PRESTO: no more music! Might also be useful to show what the gravity setting in the level is, and whether or not fall damage is on (seems like its off in some stages)

As for traps coming at you too fast, well, it's a game, and a hard one.

So what do you get if you win the game? A different face on the robot, and it plays a different, not-so-annoying song that doesn't repeat.

Nothing personal; the music just sucks and lags the game.

I am working the robot right??!!!!!!?????????!!!!!

Animation: pretty basic nothing mind blowing and the pyrotechnics were pretty lazily done. 4/10

Music: ...music?...you mean that horrible looping of sounds?3/10

storyline: There was hardly anyhting new with the storyline I could easily find over 100 flash games about out of control robots. 5/10

gameplay: A nice challenge. I enjoy the puzzle parts most. However the controls were jerky, using the rocket is way to slow witch is a highly negative factor considering all the obstacles in this game. Also, moving left in right is way to slow causing me to run into spikes and of of edges. 6/10

Lunar lander

This is solid flash, with a nice look, but it fails to be a game.

Remember Lunar Lander. Note the lunar. Low gravity makes things managable. Regular gravity literally makes playing this game rocket science.

So many things were done well. (The limitless lives for example)
But the basic game mechanic was flawed.

I'm not so sure how easy a fix this is given the level design, but I would suggest that damage over instant death could be a quick fix to make this a playable game.

Just my thoughts. Personally I'm a ham handed casual gamer.
Overall good job. Could be great for the twitch gamers.

eh just didnt like it
