Works with Chrome.\nThis game is not very fun but surprisingly addictive. I could only clear the lower 20% of the screen but it was enough to keep going to 500 points. It would be better if there was an incentive (maybe speed booster on the raising-lowering of the neck) to go higher because that's where your main mechanic reside. The audio really feels like a coin machine. Overall well done.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"domrein","author_uid":"1011765","time":"2017-07-31T16:10:25Z","epoch":1501517425,"modified":1501517425,"text":"Bummer it didn't work in FF.

I also enjoyed the raising\/lowering of the neck. In terms of criticism, I think the overall play experience is missing a few key elements. The timer seems too generous, so I never experienced any tension. Without music and audio cues that the console is running out of power, there did not seem to be much motivation outside of basic game loop of shoot\/collect\/deposit. Additionally, a start and and end sequence would bookend the game play and be a nice way to give the player a frame of reference. Hope my feedback helps Thanks for sharing!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ruerob-hyky","author_uid":"1006170","time":"2017-08-01T10:17:10Z","epoch":1501582630,"modified":1501582630,"text":"I liked the little robot with his elevating head a lot! haha!

The graphics are good and there are no bugs that I can find. The problem is the lack of challenge.\n\nThere is no reason to reach very high. The enemies close to ground give out just as many batteries as the ones on the top so risking it makes no sense. This leads to a very dull experience indeed.\n\nHere's a suggestion for wrangle the difficulty curve. The power drain of the computer should raise overtime in increments with some sort of a gauge showing the current drain. The enemies on the top should give out bigger batteries or more batteries more often. This way the player is forced to reach higher and higher, taking risks.\n\nOk entry, needs some tweaking in the challenge department.","likes":3,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld39\/43767-121e8aa89d66f5cac51634b35803a8b1.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/paulmilham.com\/robitneedslove","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"42864","g_author":"1011765","g_event":"LD39","g_eventkey":"74","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"240492","g_title":"Robit Needs Love","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"370","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"43767","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"43767","n_urlkey":"240492","n_parent":"32802","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/robit-needs-love","n_slug":"robit-needs-love","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"11765","n_created":"1501439809","n_modified":"1502633833","n_version":"139595","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":43767,"parent":32802,"superparent":9,"author":11765,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2017-07-30T23:30:33Z","created":"2017-07-30T18:36:49Z","modified":"2017-08-13T14:17:13Z","version":139595,"slug":"robit-needs-love","name":"Robit Needs Love","body":"Don't let your lab power down.
