It wasn't bad - felt nice, controlled wellish (aiming was a bit hard but \/shrug) - if this gets some polish and some more interesting mechanics put in (enemies perhaps? clock? etc?) Who knows, but I think it has a lot of potential!"},{"author_name":"Morgawr","author_uid":"8711","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 5:28pm","epoch":1367515380,"text":"I totally agree with what the others have said, there's not much in here to do at the moment, might become a cool game if polished and improved."},{"author_name":"Bernhard","author_uid":"20775","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 6:06pm","epoch":1367517660,"text":"Not sure why there is collision for the shots but not for the robot itself.\rHere it didn't show the mystery yellow number in the lower right from the screenshot.

I love this community! Friendly opinions instead of hate. I agree this is more of proof of concept than game, but I wanted to actually make something "gamelike" and LD was a great motivation. When I'll have some free time I'm going to fix this "thing"(I guess I'll rewrite most of the code). I want to implement more levels, working player collision and maybe something else. I thought about making this game an action game with time limit and some other dangers (mainly traps). I simply forgot to do player-wall collision :( (but I think it could be easily done now). The yellow number is fps counter from FRAPS."},{"author_name":"netmute","author_uid":"11213","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 11:53am","epoch":1367840880,"text":"I'm on a Mac.

But bit to easy => no challenge and no ending! At least I didn't see one once I minimized all computers ;D. Add some enemies and build a couple of levels and you would have cool game.

I like the animation of the robot and the visual style of the game, but there isn't much content. It could definitely use some sound as well. I also noticed that the robot always turns to face up\/north any time I stop moving which is a little obnoxious. In any event, good effort on this one."},{"author_name":"mikeware","author_uid":"272","time":"May 9, 2013 @ 3:03pm","epoch":1368111480,"text":"It seems really weird that you can walk anywhere but your bullets are stopped by the walls. Also, returning to center was really annoying as I couldn't let go of the arrow key to stop moving and then shoot. The graphics are pretty nice and I like the idea; just would like to see a bit more behind it."},{"author_name":"cakemonitor","author_uid":"5357","time":"May 11, 2013 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1368284100,"text":"it need some sense of challenge and some sound effects too, but it's a good starting point"},{"author_name":"Zim the Fox","author_uid":"21185","time":"May 18, 2013 @ 3:56am","epoch":1368849060,"text":"Fisrt of all, when you press the arrow keys to start the robot does not appear, it only appears when you press space.\r\rCongrats on making an entry for the Ludum Dare!
