Last Bot Standing

Audio is a surprisingly important part of a game, when I played it it was totally silent during gameplay though. Something simple like a little beep coming from the robots so that you know where they are can do a lot.

@ljn Thanks for checking the game out man! Perfect feedback and I totally agree. We've since added some music to give a dash of character, and some sound effects for the battery pickups, winning, and losing. We hope you get a chance to check out the improvements once it's all finalized!! Cheers!

@LJN - Sound is added to our project but it's not uploaded yet. Please check back and vote after the deadline.

EDIT: Sound and music was eventually added.

Great gameplay, great graphics.
The blue cop really freaked me out.

Sweet graphics, and that's nice to have some physical elements

Solid Game with good graphics and audio!

It is a cool Pac-man but with robots, nice to see that you included some audio!

Congratulations!

I was the last bot standing. I like the pacman style outro music and the music in general. I like the idea of enemy ais and the player competing for resources. I was so caught up in getting away I did not see if the ais would seek the power or if they only looked for me and got it by accident. Do the bots go for power if they need it if they are not chasing? They definitely will die chasing. Its nice to see some interesting ais in a ludum dare entry in any case. Good show!

@internetpaulicy - The bots have different AIs. The red one is always hunting you. The blue one is always looking for batteries, but if he sees you he willl chase you instead. The orange one patrols around in an attempt to get ahead of you, and will chase when he sees you.

Had fun playing your game, kinda like a more dynamic pacman game. Kinda hard to :)!

Really liked the concept and felt good to play. You should definitly add a screenshot to this page, I think it would help make more people click the HTML link

Thanks everyone for checking out the game so far! I am going to be busy playing and reviewing tonight!!!!

had fun playing it too! i feel like WALL-E running away from robots! :)

When I fired your game up, I actually thought "oh great, just a pacman clone" at first. I was definitely wrong. As soon as I noticed the meters at the top, I realized what you were going for and it all clicked. What a cool variant on the formula, and it applies to the theme perfectly. The game got pretty intense for me at times when the robots closed in (or I messed up a jump), that's certainly a feeling I don't get from Pacman. I think a cool feature would be to have the robots get a little faster as they neared battery drain, to connect the battery to gameplay more.

Very interesting take on the theme, very nice graphics and smooth gameplay.
Liking it:)

Just Awesome, really fun with simple, yet interesting gameplay with great graphics and sound effects. I think that the game is just one big easter egg - the reference to polybius and bot's AI matching AI of Pacman game. Great job!

Neat game ! :D I really like it ! Congrats ! The musics are awesome and I find it not too easy and not too hard. Well done ! Keep coding ! :)

Very fun game, the chases were very intense. The resource competition fit the theme quite well.

Nice pac-man with 3d graphics :) The camera made it a bit too hard to know where the robots were and I ended up running into them way too much, but it's been really fun to play.

Very good to see this game with sounds, make the whole difference. I love pacman and since this game is almost a 3d pacman, I must say that I liked a lot, the art the map looks really good also

Nice game. It had a fresh feel but also the core elements of pacman. Music fit the game really well. The gameplay and graphics were also very well done.

Overall, an excellent game! Good luck.

Felt like a solid fresh take on pac-man, which is definitely a cool thing. Some audio cues and additional feedback would help out a lot, and perhaps if you borrowed some more elements from pacman like the dots and the side loops to help the player avoid getting cornered. It also felt like the AI was just completely relentless in chasing me, it was hard to notice any behaviors other than blues. I'd also suggest some secondary motion in the bots arms as it moves to help give the bots a more physical presence would really take the art to the next level. Definitely a cool game.

Feels like a modern pacman, that music was fantastic, love it.

It is a really nice game. I love it.

This was very good game!

- Graphics: Very good graphics! Quality of models, texture work and art style is general is golden.
- Sound: Sound design was on high point too. I especially liked the music. Sound effects definitely added some depth and gone perfectly with the art style of the game, keeping whole art direction consistent throughout.
- Gameplay: I died first few tries till I figured out the controls, but I managed to win on the third try. Yey! Anyway, I love this take on Pacman (or at least it felt to me like it), although Orange was constantly chasing me, regardless of if he saw me or not, much like the Red one (your description said something different...) but this is just a nitpick and it didn't ruined my experience at all.
- Overall: Very fun little game! Quite short, but time flew by really quickly with this one, which is always a good thing. I liked the art style and gameplay felt really great. I didn't found anything niether Humorous nor Moody though, don't know exactly why you opted to this category but thats your choice :)

GJ guys, looking forward for your next entry in next Jam :)

EDIT: sorry for double post, it somehow lagged :/

Editting this out so it doesn't take half the page :)

Excellent graphics and gameplay! Good work!

Very nice graphics and level design...
My main gripe about this game is that it becomes easier the more you win, which is kind of backwards imho.

Very enjoyable PacMan-like - the non-grid movement and physical reactions with the environment were both nice touches, and the visuals/audio fit well. Excellent entry!

Very fun! I'd have liked a little more of difficulty, but overall a really good job :)

Very fun, 3d graphs are dope, the downside is that I wish there was more levels to play

Amazing idea :)

Good job on this. A lot of the jam games that involve driving have really loose controls. These are some tight controls and a good level layout. It was a genuinely enjoyable few minutes of play.

It reminded me of PacMan, and I really liked the 3D art!

Pretty tough but I finally won! I thought it was a sneaking game at first but it turned into just a straight up game of tag. :-)

Reminds me of PacMan a lot, just would have been nice if your character also lost energy. would have added some tension, cuz the game is super easy to beat. Anyway good art and nice sound effects.

Fun game! Like a modern Pac-Man. The art was nice, the music was fun, and the gameplay was really fun too! It did get kind of too easy once you get the hang of it. Also, when I won at the end, there was no way to see what my score was. Maybe I got 90?

Fun to play!! I miss having more levels and a bit more challenge though. The Scene is great, I like the atmosphere. Also with the addition of music and sounds it looks good. The best is the art.

Fun game of robot tag. I think the sounds and gameplay/art fit well together. I would have put a bit more dangers for your guy as it becomes a bit easier the longer your play but definitely i good submision

This one is really fun to play! It looks rad! And also seems easily adaptable to a fun couch multiplayer.
If I had to iterate on this I think it will be worth trying to change the points for the same battery system the enemies have so you need to seek actively for batteries to survive while escaping from the rest.

Your game remember pac-man. I liked the idea, and the controls difficulty are great, it's challenging.

Game was fun, didn't like the music that much but the graphics were pretty good. :snowboarder:

Excellent 3d modelling and top-notch graphics. The robots seem to be pretty smart but if they bunch together its relatively easy to run them around in circles for a while, so perhaps some swarming ability or randomness like in Pacman? Sfx and bgm was great as well. Seems like it could make a good multiplayer game too. Great job!

I think this was the first LD39 game to have another unit/character run out of power instead of the player. Pretty interesting twist on the theme! Also, I really dug the graphics and controls.

Great graphics! Like others say, reminded me pac-man. Enjoyed playing this cute game!

Liked the graphics ! It was so funny ! I liked the graphics. And the sound when I pick up a battery was so nice. Great game at overall !

The web version starts freezing the browser (Chrome, Win10) for some reason and Windows link is the same as web version. Any chance for a standalone build? Thanks!

@Coauctor - Haven't heard of any freezing before but I'll look into it.

If you click either the WebGL or Windows link it'll take you to the itch.io page which contains both. Underneath the WebGL version there's download links, including the Windows standalone.

I recommend the standalone versions even if WegGL works for you, as they perform way better.
