Station 8 by quadtree
Note: This is a game about making incremental progress each time the robots drag you back to the pod, since you keep all the programs you collect. It's possible to complete the entire level on one "life" on low difficulty, but not really expected.
Try to escape the endless loop of being thrown back into the pod by the robots of Station 8. Collect the three key programs and get to the pod bay door to escape. Luckily, the robots don't erase programs from your multi-tool. Your multi-tool has limited energy though, so use it wisely.
Note: I recommend playing this game in Chrome. Firefox will work but performance is worse and there are a few minor bugs.
Controls: * WASD/Arrow Keys - Move * Space - Jump * Left Click - Shoot

Took me a while to understand that I die when I run out of ammo.
Nice that the pickups are maintained after death.
I did however find even the Easy setting very difficult.
Not sure what they keys are used for.
So I ended up running around dodging the enemies and luckily found the exit.
I will rate your game once the ratings open up.
I also played on easy and died like 8 times. The one bad point was that the reticule only works well over a longer distance. For schorter distances, it's off by quite a bit, mostly causing my to shoot against walls when I tried to stay behind cover. :sweat_smile:
Very atmospheric FPS. Baiting robots one by one and shooting them is very satisfying and the stealth factor in this game is really good. The models are very nice and simple, the atmospheric soundtrack fits the scene.
As mentioned in the first review though, the Easy setting is already really hard. I ran out of ammo really fast and eventually just ran through the level to win.
