Puzzle Bots

Awesome! Though the fact Erin's name isn't mentioned anywhere on the Puzzle Bots pages is slightly perplexing. Is there any reason why you don't include a "Credits" link on the side by Story, Screenshots, etc?

That is truly odd.

There is the team page.  Is that what you're looking for?  That reminds me that I need to add the rest of the crew up there.

Ah, well now you've made me feel I've gone mad. There was either no visible link to a team page yesterday or I encountered serious mental issues...

But that's exactly what I wanted to read! Some updated info on Erin who's been a minor celebrity the last year and something about Chris wouldn't go amiss

Other than that, good luck with the release!

Good reviews!
The second one seemed a bit harsh on the final score.

Greetings,

I'm the Site Editor for Fraggs. Just wanted to respond and share my thoughts on Puzzle Bots and the actual review we posted.

After playing the game myself and reading the review that Ryan wrote up, I thought the review was mostly accurate. The Puzzle Bots team did a great job but the game has some obvious problems. Graphical flaws. The voice acting was rough and sometimes obvious that the material was read off a script. The voice acting was so rough at times I could have sworn the inventors were indeed the true robots. The controls we're rough and clunky at times.

With that said, the game was clever at times, fun at others. The game is a great attempt at creating a casual game that features robot humor, and a game I wouldn't mind if my child played it for a few hours. I appreciate the problem solving aspect of the game even if it was a bit simple at times.

All in all it was a good effort and the final result was good. I believe the review score was right about where it should have been. Let's be honest, to expect any higher of a score you would then have to compare the game to a Grand Theft Auto, Alan Wake, Super Mario Brothers, etc. You can't compete with those games quality, or their budget.

I'm not saying your game should be punished because you can not compete with the big studios, I'm simply saying if you feel Puzzle Bots is on the same level as those titles, you might need to rethink your side a little bit.

Have a good one and thanks for reading. It was a pleasure checking out Puzzle Bots and hope we hear more from you guys in the future.

I'd edit the original post but Erin is the one who wrote it.

Shouldn't the game be moved to "Completed Game Announcements"? 
BTW I got a preordered download link today. Downloading now, will make some comments on it later... in few days maybe.
