VS: Battle of the bots by jdoughty

[raw]
made by jdoughty for LD 39 (UNFINISH)

The unfinish dramatic show down between two robot counterparts! You've found the rouge robot and must now take it out with your Plasma lance! Destroy the rouge robot before your own battery shuts down!

This was my first attempt at doing combat with wind up and recovery animation. I had fun doing simple animations for those, but ultimately only had about 8 hrs this weekend to try to nail down the concept alone. I got the base concept down, but I'd have loved to have made more encounters, a victory screen or a reset. And sound... sound would have been lovely...

Controls are the arrow keys (or wasd) for moving and jumping (which takes energy) and space to activate the lance attack.

Love the concept, it is very similar to the one behind our game. Sprites are beautiful too, even though you didn't finish the gameplay. Do not give up!

I really like the sprite work! It's a tad too small though, I had to raise my browser zoom to 300%! Sucks you couldn't finish, but there's always next time!

Nice graphics! I like the concept with jumping loosing power and charging for hit. but on my screen it was too small too, are you goint to finish it on post-jam? Love to see it finished

@catoto I may revisit it. I want to get it to a point that I can at least put it on my portfolio. @zee, I'm glad you were able to zoom at least. I need to see if its possible to scale my game in its engine (I think it is, but I'm unsure).

Thanks for playing!
