Really good job !

It's just like assembly programming! (well, it felt more like encoding a cassette tape, but you know what I mean)

Great take on the concept! Too bad the web version doesn't run any faster.

Awesome idea. Gameplay is a little slow at times, Is there a way to prematurely end the transmission? I didn't need the entire 10 seconds for a lot of the time. But overall great idea and good job!

This game's pretty hard to get used to, but still really good. The idea's great too.

The 10 second recording time is part of the game. If recording the wrong command sequence leads to frustration, consider it incentive to get better at the game! ;)

For anyone attentive enough to be reading the comments, I have a cheat code to release. Press F2 to enable debug mode, then press F4 to enable direct control mode. This lets you fly the robot directly. Please use responsibly! You can press F2 to disable debug mode again afterwards.

Very neat game. Recording the wrong command sequence leads to hilarity as much as it does to frustration.

Cool idea. I'd love an option to end turn earlier, though. The game was innovative and hard, I liked that ;)

Good job! Funny and very challenging game.

Excellent concept. Love it. Nice job.

Nice and interesting concept. Works well

Good idea! Very good game!

Wow, really tough but cool idea and work!

Awesome game, loved the concept. Just about the best entry I've played so far.

Clever idea, and funny game! Just a bit boring to wait the end of the turn...

Whoa, this is the most original concept i've seen so far!

Great job! :)

This is a very interesting concept, and a fun game! It's quite new to use controls and not have immediate feedback about what position the character's in.
Welll... Actually, it's not... That happens to me all the time when I turn my quality settings up too high in video games. Anyway, though, this makes simple challenges in platforming very difficult. It's like playing with your eyes closed and with no sound, and then being able to watch a replay of your performance.
My only complaint about this game is that it could use a way of resetting without waiting 10 seconds.

Very fun and interesting concept. Felt like I was controlling the mars rover with the delay.

Seriously challenging, but fun! The sound could get pretty annoying at times.

I liked your game's concept. It's a fun, yet frustrating as hell game. I would love to send commands immediately, instead of having to wait forever (8s is too much time) to relay the next set of commands.

Another thing I would suggest: make it possible to only send the commands one time, instead of allowing multiple transmissions. Or at least make an achievement out of it...

Graphic-wise, the game was simple, and so were the graphics. No complaints on that section.

The audio was nicely done, with the jet engine sound and the beeping, but yet very, very simple. It was good enough.

The one thing that I disliked (ie: hated) the most in this game was the waiting times. I spent more time waiting for something to happen than actually playing. And the lack of a replay, or retry key/option.

All in all, good game 7/10, would play again.

Thanks for your comments everyone! I have released a post-compo update taking many of them into consideration. The playback time remains at 10 seconds because I think it would break the core mechanic of the game if that restriction is removed. Please give it a shot - but remember to rate based on the original.

A very strong entry. I agree that pacing is the weakness here but I suspect that it will be a matter of letting the player advance the action or detecting when the action should advance and not finding some magic length of time for the transmission. I do think that 10 seconds worth of commands is more than I would ever want to record so, if you do want to stick with theme later, I think I'd use the 10 seconds for "10 seconds of fuel" or "10 second delay between stick and robot (which I'm not required to wait through)".

The mechanic is fantastic. I actually haven't seen this one before. Very creative and enjoyable. It was fun to try to hone my predictive skills so that I could estimate what a quarter inch of burn on the timeline would translate to in motion.

Love it. Good example of an indirect control mechanic done very well.

Too frustrating xD I think it could be a bit tighter on the controls and the level design made easier. Anyway, nice idea and great game. Hail roboticus!

Great idea; nice UI time bar.

I really like the idea. Very unique

Very funny game and the best usage of "10 seconds" theme I've ever seen!
Only I'd like if there is button to finish recording sequence.
Nice entry!
