Lol, great game! Totally love the grafix and the music. :D
But it's HARD to live longer than 30 sec. XD

Time has passed since the humans all died out, their mechanical servants inheriting the earth solely because there was nothing else left. Without their human masters, the machines were directiveless and directionless. Soon, even their basic artificial intelligence became bored and restless and they sought escape, if even for a brief moment.
Groups of the larger machines have started building smaller robots out of scrap. They place bets on how long it takes to crush them with rubbish. You are rob, one of those ill-fated robots. Crafted from an internet modem and parts of a tumble dryer.
Survive as long as you can.

i found the game to be fun, simple, but challanging. and i thought i was having issues with the yellow box's, untill i payed closer attention to them and found i was hitting but only causing them to spin but keep on track.
Decent game, pretty simple and difficult. Only way i've found to last longer than 30 seconds is constantly move around, and hold one of the 1 TON things over my head to block anything else that falls.

Thanks! Yes, it is pretty difficult - I was trying to keep a bit of that hardcore edge older games had. I'm surprised at some of the scores on the high score table myself!
A pleasantly simple game that I enjoyed quite a bit. I like the hand-drawn graphics, it had a certain charm to it that was pleasing. The main character, Rob, remind me of Glitch from the Metal Arms game so that was nice to see.
The game play was definitely addicting and I kept attempting to reach the top of the leaderboards (failing miserably) because the addition of the clock right at the top of the screen kept fueling my addiction to continue. I like the concept of debris falling all over the place while your character scurried back and forth like a trapped rat.
Really neat addition of the under-powered blaster gave me some hope of not being crushed to death and I have to add the fact that I enjoyed that the debris flew all over the place and even ricocheted off the walls at times.

Great review - thanks! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it, it makes the hard work worthwhile!
