Robot Care by EpiphanyG

[raw]
made by EpiphanyG for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

I'll be reading the comments to my daughter so please try to be gentle!

You are a scientist trying to keep their trusty robot companion alive long enough for the fusion reactor to come online so the robot can go out and save the world!

Give the robot the deliveries of fuel, batteries and teddy bears to keep the gauge on it's chest at an optimum level until the fusion reactor comes online.

Controls are WASD, arrow keys or gamepad thumb stick / dpad.

Programming by me (Gavin), art music and sound by my daughter Iris.

Fun little game with charming graphics and uhh..music D: Loved the little touches like actually seeing the fluid meter draining on the robot + all of the different facial expressions that the robot would do.

It's so adorable that it's hard to give a proper review <3. Very good execution for a little game. Sounds are good, but the music is not so good. When losing, would be better to add button in the middle to restart instead of small one in the corner - first couple of times I was restarting the browser because I didn't notice it.

Simple but cute. A bit more depth would we welcome, but I guess it is targeted to children so it's ok. Good job.

What an absolutely lovely game. The restart button could be a bit more noticeable but other than that it's a solid game with a unique art style and sound design :D

WOOOAAHH!! This game is so addicting! Did your daughter came up with the concept? :thinking:
Tell her that the art, the sound effects and the music are all awesome! Especially the part when we fill the robot with the items! I loved the part when the robot just flew up! :smile:
Greato Jobu! :smile:

Amazing sound effect, definitely the best that I hear at this LD. Really simple to get how to play this game and 2d art in 3d space looks really cool

Cute little game! I love the audio and graphics, it gives it a lot of character. Honestly might be the best sound effects I've encountered in a jam.

Slowing down on the puddles is a nice touch. Could use more depth with the game mechanics, but it does have a lot of nice details to it. Fantastic job by both of you!
