Robotic Plans by Diventurer

[raw]
made by Diventurer for LD31 (JAM)
== CONTROLS ==
Movement: WASD
Shooting: Space
Use control panel: Space (will flash [space] over when it can be used. You need at least 1 card)

[Note: We didn't have enough time to finish this game, so description may sound different to what is in the game. For example, there is no boss or robot snowmen to fight. Sorry!]

Robot snowman has taken over Santa's toy factory! He's turning all snowmen into robots, with every spare metal part.

This factory needs some saving! Crack down every floor and get personal with the robot snowman boss.

Every floor has a control panel, and it's up to you to get a smart card from a snowman to control the manufacturing process like the 1337 hacker you are. Want the factory to make coal instead? Sure! What about bombs?! Go for it! How else can you go down? Shoot those wrapped bombs with your AK-47 and crack the floor open.

== TROUBLESHOOTING ==
1. If you get MSVCP dll missing, install vc++ redist 2013. Direct link:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=40784

2. Collision might seem odd a few places, because the player sprite was changed at last minute from placeholder. Not enough time to tweak.

Good game! Generally fun, but needs a bit more feedback (like damage sounds). Diagonal shots FTW!

@stalker1586
What happened?

@sorlok
Thanks! :)
I tried to add as much sound as possible. There should be a small explosion sound when the player gets hit as well. When you see an explosion, a sound should play. Maybe volume is low on your computer?

Thanks for playing and commenting. :)

@Hellquin
Thanks! :)
I know it could be improved, but the project was too ambitious. We didn't even get to put in boss. :/

PRO HINT: Our player is actually Diventurer (dib) who was really upset that the theme isn't snowman, so he goes rambo mode and wrecks all the snowmen.

@ignoramendola
Thanks ☃ :D
I do not think I will make a finished version. I had hoped we would finish within the 72 hours.

It'ss fun at first, but a bit boring once you played with that more than 2 minutes. Maybe with more added things would be better in that way but congratulations, with the time you had, is a good entry!

Thanks all! :)

And I agree @Pulsartronic, the game gets boring quickly at the state it's in, but like you said - we were limited by time.

Loved the graphics, and how snowmen only appeared from the snow. I noticed the tanks can drive off the screen, and that snowmen and tanks can destroy each other.

@thopis
Thank you!

@Sharky
Oh. Well, there is a _RAIN_Debug_Log.html file in the directory. Maybe it says something useful?

@Adam
Thank you. Yes, I like the snowman morphing detail. :)
I was too tired to notice tanks driving off screen, and noticed last minute that tanks destroy eachother. But hey, haha, it's LD. :)
