Crazy game! As was to be expected, I'm not great at it, but made it through the demo smacking the bejesus out of all the robots. Killing anything tech-related seems like a good use of my time to me so for 800 points I'm very tempted. Very much doubt I'll 100% it though as I have trouble spotting when the attacks are about to happen.

I actually found it easier once my guys had a few more hps. At the start I found I was getting killed easily unless I used a lot of items; which isn't so bad as they replenish every time you revisit an area.

What's the 2nd one like? More of the same, better, longer?

Bought it, and then promptly suffered repeated insta-death on the first round of robots on the next level. Just not fast enough it seems.

More of the same for sure. The combat system is added to (chain up attacks), and tweaked slightly (it actually says 'BLOCK' for example, rather than just flashing a light). It too me longer to get through, some nice puzzles. Great hidden achievement as well! There's also a few rather amusing scenes involving a robotic monkey.

[edit]Stick with it Mark, when you start levelling up you'll soon get to grips with it

I found the trick was to use loads of items especially the reduce attack by 75% one at the start. Hit one or two guys with it and then concentrate on the other. Don't worry about using a lot of items as you can re-enter panels as many times as you like you like to replenish them.
