Definitely off to a good start with this one. Hopefully you develop it some more to work out the kinks and polish. Had a very classic game feel and sound. Well done!"},{"author_name":"raarlac","author_uid":"11711","time":"Sep 5, 2012 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1346861940,"text":"Good game! There's a little bug: if you aproach those pikachu rock things sometimes you get stuck."},{"author_name":"localcoder","author_uid":"1113","time":"Sep 6, 2012 @ 11:49am","epoch":1346931840,"text":"There are some cool ideas in here.\r\rHowever some little technical issues are holding it back - the text disappearing too quickly, the slow rate of fire and the way you can get stuck.\r\rI enjoyed finding and reading the notes. I found one ending, where you touch something blue - I'm not sure what it was. I tried collecting all the skulls but got stuck on a wall and stopped."},{"author_name":"goffmog","author_uid":"2011","time":"Sep 9, 2012 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1347196680,"text":"Technical issue kind of spoil the game for me. I collected all the carrots but the text still said 1\/5 - I collected something else, about which the game had nothing to say, then got stuck on a wall tile :( Played it another time, now slow pointy things seem to fly out of me at random and I occasionally teleport back to the middle... I have no idea what's going on!"},{"author_name":"Gabriel","author_uid":"11099","time":"Sep 15, 2012 @ 9:21pm","epoch":1347743760,"text":"Good start! Definitely needs more interaction and gameplay, but I like the mood and can imagine a good game emerging out of this. Keep going! :)\rOne cool thing I noticed, not sure if it was on purpose or not: despite my ability to kill the robots, I don't WANT to do that because they seem very pacific to me! I still need to kill them because that's what all the years playing videogames tell me that is what I must do to win in the game, so I kinda do that against my will, but it almost reminds me of the horrible sensation of executing prisoners in Blackthorn (oooold stuff, remember that one?)... And then the ending has a message exactly about that. Nice little touch. ;)"},{"author_name":"mappum","author_uid":"7962","time":"Sep 15, 2012 @ 9:43pm","epoch":1347745080,"text":"The graphics felt sluggish, and the framerate was pretty choppy, which got annoying. Also, the enemies didn't even move, so it was super easy. i got all the carrots and shot a few robots, and nothing happened.\r\rI really did like the graphics style though, and the notes and opening "where am I" put a really good mood to it."},{"author_name":"tripleVisionGames","author_uid":"12495","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 6:54pm","epoch":1347907740,"text":"Hey this is a really good start! Work on the technical side of things and get the movement and controls feeling good and you'll have the start of a great game. The game has a really good retro style that I think could be brilliant if you add more enemy types and add in some behaviours for them. Great work so far though in just 72 hours!"}],"images":["ld24\/2572-ec180bbb6fdeaa6d63a1d1c687b61520.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/Gornova81\/bot-volution","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"29835","g_author":"2572","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"29865","g_title":"Bot-Volution","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"246","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/2572-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Find your way to evolution, in this little game.\r\n\r\nWASD or arrows to move\r\nleft click to shoot\r\n\r\nMade in 72 hours for LudumDare 24, theme Evolution\r\n\r\na Game by: Gornova and nickFla1<\/p>","title":"Bot-Volution"}
