Robo Runner by mrwillowb

[raw]
made by mrwillowb for LD 39 (COMPO)

It's your first day working at Robotech industries as a Robotics training engineer. You have to teach the robot new skills, and train it to walk and jump and to collect batteries to stay powered on. You learn while powered up. Everything you do causes your power to run out, so make sure you use upgrades to make the robot function for longer.

Created in under 24 hours for the Ludum Dare 39 Compo. You are a prototype robot technician. It's your job to train robots to run really fast. Upgrade the robot to make it run faster and jump to collect energy.

Post Compo fix(webgl version only): Added Reset button added high scores

Created with Unity 5.6 Sound - BFXR 2d Graphics - Adobe Flash/Photoshop you can find the source and PC Build on my patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/dosgamecreater Ld39RoboRunnerGameScreen.png

Good graphics, sound is appropriate, but the game doesn't actually work right for me. Downloaded and ran the game, click start, the robot starts walking and picks up a battery or two, but it doesn't recharge him. Eventually I run out of power and the game ends. When I click start again though, I've still got the money I accumulated from the previous run. I end up with enough money to buy a few upgrades and I bought 7 speed upgrades without paying attention. Now the robot runs out of power in about 3/4 of a second. I can't get anywhere, restarting the game didn't help, so I deleted the game directory and unzipped it again. I have to assume the settings are stored in the registry somewhere because the game still has all of the settings from the old install. (Sure enough, there is an entry in my registry for the game - that's a little disturbing). Graphics are nice, but ultimately the game doesn't work. Maybe you can fix it later. Thanks for the game.

Added Reset Data button to WebGL version.Allows you to reset the game if you use the wrong strategy and get stuck :)

I don't get it. Tried at least 20 times to walk this damn robot, but I'm not even able to jump.
It seems the upgrades accumulate when your respawn, but even with this, I'm still can't make more than a few step before the robot runs out of power.
What did I miss?

you need to make sure you keep upgrading the max power because every other upgrade increases the amount of power used. Im working on some bug fixes and extra features this week for the webgl version on Kongregate

I collect batteries but my power isn't increasing so even though I got 10 power cells I still just run out of power to game over. I red that you need to train the robot to do everything (including picking up batteries) but I don't know how =) Looks quite nice though!
