✦ AI summary

Nanobots is a unique concept with frantic mouse-control gameplay that players find either compelling or frustrating depending on their precision and stamina. Common praise centers on the novel idea and visual design, but the overwhelming complaint is that the game demands excessive mouse precision and speed without difficulty options or accessibility features, leading to wrist strain and early-stage frustration for most players.

[h1] Frantic gameplay where you have to hover and jerk your mouse to get rid of ever growing horde of nanobots. More frustrating than fun. [/h1]

I think it requires a bit too much precision, and otherwise could have been a very fun and unique game. It's a neat idea, but it required far more precision with a mouse than I apparently possess far too soon for me to recommend the game. With some difficulty options or options to change the size of your reticule, this would be an easy thumbs up, but as it is now, it's a thumbs down if you don't care to be frustrated too early to actually see the fun looking levels.

Lame/boring gameplay. All you do is left click and move your move in precise in order to beat nanobots from growing. The gameplay might be enjoyable if you own touch screen monitor or there's easier difficulty option.

I can't move my mouse precisely enough to play. If I could slow it down slightly then maybe. As of now it's just an excercise in frustration.

Mixed feels right for the review score, but I'll give this a "recommended". Very unique concept. Gameplay-wise, it plays exactly like it looks like - drag the mouse to delete triangles and prevent them from restoring adjacent triangles. Your wrist does get very sore, and there is no way to pause a level besides forfeiting/restarting. I had to take breaks a few times simply because my hand did not have the energy to make the movements to beat a level. Level 3-9 is where I got stuck the most (but I got past it, thanks to this comment https://steamcommunity.com/app/449120/discussions/0/385428458160155275/#c3043858879876868829 proving that it's possible) The last level was a kinda neat idea for a boss battle, [spoiler]hover the mouse over a moving boss to damage it, in between times when all the nanobot triangles are destroyed[/spoiler].

This game looks like it would be fun if I could get past stage 1-11. The only difficulty options being normal, hard, and very hard, it looks like the tutorial levels are all of what I get to experience. I can't shake my mouse across my desk fast enough apparently. An easy setting or skip button would be greatly appreciated.
