This game stands out for the original concept. After you get the hang of it, it's very playable and quite fun to kick robots around.

This game has a fair amount of replay value in trying to beat your high score. It does get frustrating after a while, because it's just too easy to accidentally let one of the robots slip past and get the best out of you, and you have to start over from scratch each time this happens.

The implementation of the parallax rule is original, although I think it's one of those things that sound cooler on paper than they are in practice. The save progress rule is implemented very neatly.

[These are short notes, not a full review]
The game reminded me of good old Jump 'n' Bump.

It is an actually playable puzzle! Everything is in place but very minimalistic. Characters jump on the heads of each other. The player has to shutdown and then kick the opponents.

Rules of TINS 2012 are hardly touched. An option to save and load progress would be nice. Collision detection is faulty. It is not very convenient to kick a robot in the desired direction. The sprite editor is a mystery.

This was an unexpected surprise this TINS. Despite the simple graphics the gameplay is addictive and entertaining. I guess this is my favorite entry for TINS 2012.
