Rusty by Primum Ludum

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

Lost in dark labytinth left by humans a long time ago prior to their exodus, Rusty, a little robot with a lamp in his head, can see only a small part of space around him when moving, but if he stops for looking around and deciding which turn he should take, then he will eventually become... well, rusty. And the more rust he has the less power is left in him to take another step, so when all covered in it, he would... How did humans call it? Die?

And he definitely wants to be alive, like every human and every robot always wanted before!

Help Rusty to get out from these labyrinths, grab some oil to get rid of rust, explore the remains of human civilization to get some hints about how we got here, and move, move, move! But beware of some traps slowly killing you and don't be scared by eerie atmosphere, it won't bite you! :D

I like the art style, the robot looks good and has some nice simple animations. I'd recommend toning down the chromatic aberration, it's quite hard on the eyes. I like the concept of stopping to increase what you can see but rusting quicker if you do so. Ya'll had a unique approach to the theme with the rusting, so bonus points for that.

Nice work everyone!

Keep it up the good work!

I really like that blurry-ish effect, but sometimes it gets annoying.
I think it's a little unfair that in some parts of the map you have to walk on the water only to get a repair.
Overall I really enjoyed it

Best looking game I have played so far. Mood is really nice with atmospheric music and dead robots all over the maze.

Took me a while to finish last level, and I had to draw the map while I was playing :)

Somehow I have missed that when you stand, you can see more. Guess I was just afraid of rusting.

Great game, thanks.

Cheers!

Nicely done, I really liked the graphics, and especially the robot. I got lost more often than I'd like to admit!

great atmosphere! more sound effects i feel can add more to this game, maybe the ui can be polished a little(the "rust bar" maybe be can be attached to the character instead of a giant bar ontop of the screen), the graphics is also pretty well done with the looks of the character and the level design.

The graphics, music and atmosphere is all really cool. The gameplay idea is overall simple and pretty fun, but parts of the game become too much of a random maze game. Overall is this a good jam game. Well done.

Overall, this is a really impressive game! The graphics are phenomenal, and even though the audio for the character is repetitive and doesn't loop well, it sounded good! And of course, the mood of the game was spot on. I will say that the paint popping in and out of visibility was pretty distracting, and the gameplay boiled down to walking through a maze and hoping you went the right way, which wasn't very fun. But those are just a few flaws. Great work!

All the best,
The President

Great visual art, very fit to the atmosphere. I must said that some visual effect on the game highly increase the sense of playing. Even though this is a very traditional small game I can still get fun from it. Great job!

Really impressed with what you guys did visually in such a short timespan! Gameplay was well-polished for what it was, but I was of course disappointed that the game was so short. With a few more gameplay elements and some more levels, I think you could have a real game going! Great work!

This is a great little game with some nice graphics. There is some good polish here. The aesthetic fits perfectly and the theme matches well. I would not have thought about keeping a robot moving as an idea for keep it alive. I love it!

Great execution, keep up the good work! I look forward to the next game that you all make!

The game is great and fun, but you put a creepy mood to it even though there was nothing scary.

What an amazing-looking game! Very impressive art. I like the gameplay tension between standing still to see and staying moving. However, I will note that I did not realize that standing still increased the light radius until the credits level - perhaps I missed a note somewhere, but there you go. I also found some of the credits text impossible to read, haha.

Love how the game works and plays. A real nice feel and the art stands out! Nice dark mood really hits the spot on this one! Gameplay was nice and I had a hit of WALL-E Nasatgia. Nice Submission

This is really polished and nice game. I really enjoyed playing it and I like a lot the mechanics view changing whether robot is moving or not. I like it a lot!
