Shapeshifting to represent different roles working together is an interesting take, and there does actually seem to be a high degree of shapshifting required to get the hard missions. Switching to a person to make tight turn, and a helicopter to jump obstacles seems like a weird approach, but works well mechanically."},{"author_name":"WizByte_Games","author_uid":"56690","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 1:48pm","epoch":1460986980,"text":"I don't know why but this reminds me of GTA2, but instead of a criminal you are a Rescue worker.

Especially if you've got a patient in the back of your ambulance :-)\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\n===== WEB GAME USERS README =====\r\nI've added WebGL as a build, so it is easier to play. However, the indicator arrows are broken in WebGL. This bug does not occur in the normal version.\r\n===============================\r\n\r\n-----------------------------------------------------\r\n=== Post Mortem and LD Review available here ====\r\nhttp:\/\/blog.dizelabs.com\/2016\/04\/19\/rescuebot-ludum-dare-35-game\/\r\n-----------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nControls\r\n========\r\n\r\n===============\r\n== IMPORTANT ===\r\n===============\r\nIf you can, use a gamepad. It is easier to control and thats pretty important for a rescuebot.\r\nThe keyboard controls work too, but I did not fine tune them. Sorry, I know this is an issue and I will try to make it better for the next LD project.\r\n\r\nController: (XBOX)\r\n- LEFT Analog Stick: Steer Left\/Right\r\n- Button A: Accelerate\r\n- Button B: Brake\r\n- Left Bumber: Change Shape to \u201eMan\u201c\r\n- Right Bumber: Change Shape to \u201eCar\u201c\r\n- Button Y: Change Shape to \u201eHelicopter\u201c\r\n\r\nKeyboard:\r\n- LEFT\/Right Arrow: Steer Left\/Right\r\n- Left SHift: Accelerate\r\n- Left CTRL: Brake\r\n\r\n- A: Change Shape to \u201eMan\u201c\r\n- S: Change Shape to \u201eCar\u201c\r\n- D: Change Shape to \u201eHelicopter\"\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------\r\nHow to Play\r\n===========\r\n\r\nI hope the game and the intro screen show you what's important. If not, here is a small manual:\r\n\r\nYou are a rescuebot. Rescue as many patients as possible and bring them savely(!) to the hospital (indicated by the red arrow if not on screen). The green arrow indicates the patient to be rescued. Now go, drive or fly to the patient.\r\n- PICK UP PATIENTS\r\nTo pick up a patient, you need to be in the \"Man\" Shape. That's the guy with the stretcher. If you try to pick up a patient while being the car, you will hurt him!\r\n- DROP OFF PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL\r\nTo drop a patient at the hospital, drive onto the striped area and be in the \"car\" shape (that's the ambulance).\r\n- THE HELICOPTER\r\nThe helicopter can only be used for a limited time (there is an indicator in the top of the screen). If you used your helicopter time, you will revert to the \"car\" shape. The helicopter time regenerates over time.\r\n- COLLISIONS\r\nColliding with anything is bad! Well, if you are the man or the helicopter, you're fine. But if you are the car, colliding with an obstacle will damage your vehicle, and hurt your patient if you are carrying one.\r\n- REPAIRS\r\nTo repair your rescuebot, drive on the striped area at the repair station, indicated with the wrench arrow.\r\n- DEATH\r\nIf you are too slow or too careless, patients will die. Once the third patient dies, the game is over. You also loose a life if your rescuebot gets destroyed.\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------\r\nAbout this LD, Post Mortem\r\n=============\r\nI've written a blog post about this topic, read it here:\r\nhttp:\/\/blog.dizelabs.com\/2016\/04\/19\/rescuebot-ludum-dare-35-game\/\r\n\r\n------------------------------\r\nQuestions, Bugs, everything? Write a comment, or write me a mail at support@dizelabs.com\r\n\r\nThanks for playing! I will play your games now!\r\nThomas Diehl\r\n","title":"RescueBot"}
