Pros:
This game has an impressive amount of depth for the relatively short time frame in which it was developed. I like that I was shown the ropes of how each mechanic worked by having to actually execute tasks. The creator could have easily thrown a video or slideshow-esque tutorial at the player, but this would not have been engaging or effective in teaching how to play. The game takes very few rounds to get in the flow of it, which contributes to quick improvement and the realization that there exists a high level of skill expression. The area scroll speed is well-tuned to allow the player to feel engaged, and even frantic at some points, but not helpless. The presence of a Robot that persists through runs with other rogue-like elements significantly elevates the experience for something that could have been a low quality flash game. I really like the audio and sound design, and, combined with the interesting graphics and visual assets, it creates a unique experience that will have me coming back for more.
Cons:
While there is significant depth to this game, it feels slightly front-loaded. The player may feel less overwhelmed if certain game mechanics are introduced a bit later into the game, after the player has a few knockouts under their belt. However, it does not take long to feel out the game loop, so this is a minor concern.
