Fun concept and the game is short, but the controls can be clunky and hard to use.
It's a cool little idea for a game but its only 6 levels and when I finish the last one it just cuts to a black screen and I have to restart the game. The bonus levels aren't fun and I had a bug where upon killing the last thief my robot got locked in place and I couldn't do the final cleaning part of the stage and had to just sit there for a minute or so
Not a bad game but not worth the price at all. Get it in a sale

A small experimental stealth indie game where you play as a roomba defending your home from robbers. Similar to home alone. It's kinda janky and very clunky however has lots of potential for its (now released) sequel to be something special. You can also 100% complete this game in about 30 minutes. I'd skip this one and just get the sequel.
eh
This seems to be more of a demo showcase of sorts for Samurai Punk's full game, Justice Sucks, which came out a few weeks ago, meaning there's only 9 (6 original, 3 bonus modifiers) levels available.
What's available is pretty fun, though I forgo the 'stealth' approach pretty quickly when I realized the best solution was to activate the fire sprinklers and fans, honk like a madman, and then let the robbers crumble underneath, finishing it off by sweeping up the blood and then ramming them once I'm able to do so.
It's 5USD overall, but while I do recommend it, be in mind that it's unfortunately rather janky. I counted a few instances of getting stuck after using the ram move (I'm assuming the game locks up between you hitting them, while also doing a killing animation you get when sweeping their body), control lockups, and Titular Funny Ragdolls that impede game progress. Nothin too bad since these levels aren't so long, but it got annoying regardless.

I really don't know what to say about this game. There isn't much to say about this game. Roombo: First Blood is the clearest example of a title that does what it says on the tin I've experienced in some while. The play on words based on the first Rambo film should tell you everything about what you'll be doing though to be honest if we're going theatrical here, it's more akin to Home Alone.
It's Christmas, your family have gone out and you're asleep in the charging dock like the good little Roomba you are when you hear burglars breaking in. Not on your watch! Being a self aware Roomba you can hack obviously and the whole game revolves around you running away, sometimes hiding and setting off traps. Exploding electrical sockets, showers, coffee machines, dropping fans on them, whatever you can do to kill those pesky thieves. Once done you need to clean up as best you can munching their corpses, blood and footprints. Suck up enough blood and you gain a ram move to physically smash into them.
The whole experience is, in case not obvious from the name alone, all very tongue and cheek and silly fun. It's only issue is it becomes monotonous extremely quickly. There are 6 levels plus 3 bonus levels but they are identical except more enemies. Same house, same traps, literally nothing changes. The bonus levels at least try for some gimmicks like loads of knives, invisible enemies etc but not enough to keep any real interest.
Fortunately the game knows what it is. It's priced accordingly, is cheap as chips and doesn't out stay it's welcome as you can finish and platinum it in an hour. Worth it as a palette cleanser or to take a break from bigger games one evening and is entertaining while it lasts.
