I got this error message on linux "error while loading shared libraries: libmikmod.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
I actually have that lib installed, but still it did not work so you might want to include it.
Keyboard controls felt weird since I've been playing so much Binding of Isaac, so if you're going to continue this game add an option to switch WASD and arrow keys.
And the controls are backwards - it feels really weird having the fire controls on the left...
This is difficult :(.
Robots getting stuck in walls!
I love the music.
Also, for the music, it's a sin wave w/ a shifted log based on time, clipped out the "interesting" part, mirrored and time shifted in audacity :D (didn't have time for real music)
And yeah, for keyboard I would also suggest swapping the WSAD and arrow keys, for me it's way more intuitive to have movement on WSAD.
The graphics aren't the best, though the sounds are good. The gameplay itself is a lot of fun. You've got to love that classic arcade action. My best score is 87350, on level 4.
When I tried the game with an Xbox 360 controller I could only fire up and down.
Tough game, though. I found when I tried to change direction back and forth really fast I would end up stopping (I think because I was pressing one key before I released the other, or I was pressing one key, pressing another and releasing the second key without ever really releasing the first or something).
Fun game.
