The design of the robot is well made.. Sounds and musics are good too..

Simple to play and easy to understand what I have to do..

Yeah, it's a nice game.. Congratulations on your entry for this Ludum Dare o/

Really cool graphics! Audio was nice. Moving around was interesting and unique.

I thought the small cubes were parts at first! When I got my second upgrade in the southern part of the map (the two containers on the side), my up/down movement became extremely slow. Not sure if I was doing something wrong though.

Nice work!

I really wish to play the game but I couldn't get it to work, the itch.io link didn't have any download and when I downloaded the source project and opened it in unity it didn't seem to work...

Something is wrong, on itch.io it says "The developer has not uploaded a game yet..." :confused:

I really like the sound changing when you get chased.
Game is really good looking, but the corridors are way too dark for my taste.

@logflames @jon50 There was indeed a problem, but that should be fixed now. Can you get it to run now?

A bit basic but enjoyable enough to play.
The level design could do with some work and I wish the forklift did more.

great graphics, great sound effects;
I didn't find the controls easy enough to enjoy the gameplay entirely

@oroshix It's working now, very nice game, the controls really mess with me :laughing:

The robot don't really move along parallel to the walls and when you gather more part and get wider, it gets clunky and messy, also the you can get stuck with the little boxes laying around.

Overall great entry, nice work! :)

The graphics and sound are really cool. I was a bit confused about the controls so it was hard to move around and I wish there was a tutorial to tell me what to do. Other than that the game looks nice and polished, congrats!

Thanks you all for your feedbacks, we know that the controls can be messy but they should be better now with new version

@jon50 the robot is moving more parallel to walls now ;)

@afroant the slow movement effect should be fixed now, I hope you still have enjoyed our entry

Nice game... The controls are a bit wonky, but otherwise well done.
Nice graphics as well :)

I enjoyed the graphics style. Interesting setting with a promising premise. But I found the controls annoying, especially with the bouncy and slow rotation. Took me several attempts to find my first part, and with my second part I couldn't turn any longer. Sorry, but just a bit too buggy.

Impressive graphics and lights! And the design of the car is really cool.

The controls are very counter intuitive, continuous rotations would have been better IMHO.
Got stuck in a corner, couldn't move anymore :-/

I am not able to rate games because I have not participated this time, but here's some feedback:

1. I wasn't able to understand the game to any degree. I don't know what I was supposed to do. I saw those blocks that looked like my vehicle, but I coudn't do anything with them.

2. I obtained one of those power ups by collecting the white placeholder capsules, but I don't know what the powerups were for. in my case I got this grinder looking thing in front of my vehicle. It didn't do anything as far as I can tell, other than making it more awkward to move around, as I climbed over the cube things.

3. I had a lot of trouble adapting to the controls, given that up is top right, up-right is right, and so on.

4. I had trouble understanding how much health I had.

5. The game's visuals are fairly good looking.

Conclusion: Too unclear for me to play, unfortunately.

Fun look, felt well considered and polished, but I really wanted more direction on what I was supposed to do and what things did. I found the movement a little frustrating, with direction keys not always moving the tank in the direction I thought it would. Overall though, great job!

It reminds me of Robot Wars, something that I really enjoyed watching as a kid. When I got used to the controllers the game became a lot more enjoyable. Visually the game is just stunning, absolutely gorgeous! Well done :v:

Nice job, the game is well polished: music, graphics, level. It just took me a few minutes to get use to controls. Maybe not the best choice for me but does work anyway.

Great graphics and scenarios.It's really hard to understand the controls and my car got launched to the skyes when a trap catched me, i don't know if was intention,but was very cool!
