Don't Go Flat by wh05herlock

You are a robot.
WASD To Move. Point + Click to Fire.
You can't fire behind you.
Everything you do will drain your energy (even firing your own laser).
Getting hit by an enemy laser will drain your energy.
You are faster and have slightly longer range than your enemies.
Destroying enemy robots will cause them to drop batteries which you can pick up to replenish your energy.
To win, either collect 10 solar panel parts, which will give you constant energy regeneration, or destroy all enemies.
If your battery goes flat you die.
Good Luck, and don't go flat!
Made with Unity 5.6.0f3 Personal Edition, MonoDevelop 5.9.6, Gimp 2.8.18, and Audacity 2.1.3.
Hint: The minimap is very useful :).
Please let me know if there are any typos etc. in the game. I was in a massive hurry to finish at the end. Thanks :)
EDIT: Hey everyone. I recently made a newer version of the game, with the addition of an options menu, where you can change the camera rotation to be fixed in place if you want.
In the options menu you can also edit many variables in the game which affect difficulty etc. (e.g. you can make the robots do less damage).
This means you can change the difficulty however you like, and also fiddle with the options to the point of completely changing the strategy. (e.g. one change I like to play with is to make the robots turn really slowly, but have longer range than the player, and do more damage, so that you have to sneak up behind them to kill them).
You can also change the map generation e.g. I think the map looks a lot better with wall density set to 2, and wall size set to something small like 3.
You can access the new version here with this link: https://w05herlock.itch.io/ld-39-post and if you don't change any of the settings in the options menu it will still play almost exactly the same as the competition version.

Good job!
Btw, thanks for the awesome feedback everyone! :)
The graphics were clear enough to see what was going on, and the minimap was very useful!
Having to collect 10 solar panels was perhaps a bit much, considering how fast your power drains. A suggestion could be to lower that number a bit. Then it would be a viable strategy to try to avoid the enemies, instead of having to fight them for energy. I think I hit a bug as well: When I collected solar panels, and then died, the next time I respawned, I got the "victory" message (and restart-button).
The explosion animation was a nice touch :-)

I made a new version of the game recently trying to incorporate all the feedback I got from you.
The main change is that it has an options menu, which lets you play without the camera rotating with you when you turn.
The options menu also lets you change the difficulty by changing the amount of damage enemies do etc.
The other change is that the new version lets you restart without having to watch the animation of you exploding, because it's a bit annoying having to wait for it to finish before you can restart.
If you want to play it you can play it here: https://wh05herlock.000webhostapp.com/ld39-post/index.html.
Thanks :)
