Alpha Delivery Mission by Bastillas

[raw]
made by Bastillas for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

WARNING: THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON IS NOT WORKING, and we don't know why, still, thank you very much for the interest in trying our game, but sadly you have to skip this one.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to last hour modifications before submitting, Beta (The green square) can shoot the battery, but it won't move and you will keep control of Beta so you won't be able to play further than Level 2, and we cannot upload the newest version with that issue fixed, so if you still want to try our game, we'll be really grateful for the opportunity. We tried and we failed. :P

SYNOPSIS

... ... ..pha.. ..alpha... Alpha, do you hear me? Our city is in danger. If central power of the Central Laboratory doesn't get the energy of Alpha Robot, every citizen will stop functioning and we'll must abandon our city. This is why you were created. Every Alpha Robot were anihilated by all laboratory obstacles... You're the only one left. We created you to resolve this emergency. Our city counts on you, Alpha. You must go to the power center and transmit your energy to the power supply... That's the only way left to save all of us. You must overcome all the obstacles of the Central Laboratory and get to the power supply. There is a "Battery" inside you, it'll be useful for the Laboratory challenges. We are counting on you. Good Luck. ... ... Alpha: ... Save the city... Roger...

INSTRUCTIONS

Move Alpha (Red Square) with A and D, or with arrow keys, Jump with Spacebar, Hold V and select a direction with A, W or D to shoot your battery and control other robots.

Move Beta (Green Square) with A and D, it cannot jump but can destroy fragile terrain, shoot the battery the same way as Alpha.

Both Gamma robots (Rockets) function the same way, they move only horizontally or vertically, and shoot the battery on a perpendicular way.

Deliver your energy to the rest of the robots so you can move on to the end!

I was able to download and make it through the game just fine, so I hope whatever issues were previously present have been fixed!

Unfortunately, collision issues prevented me from getting the most out of the game. Robots would frequently get stuck on or in the terrain and I'd be unable to move without button mashing a few times to free myself. But I did really like the way Alpha moved—the jumping, in particular, felt quite good.

I think the game was a little too short and I would have liked to have seen some extra time spent on exploring the mechanics.

Great job on the music, too! It was very good!

Great concept, collision issue is there but fixable by going back and forth, art is kinda all over the place but the main mechanic is a solid idea. The controls for throwing the battery could be a little more intuitive as well.

Enjoyed this one! just the same collision issues that others have mentioned but got around them by shimmying back and forth, good job!

The idea of this game is really good! The mechanic of changing the controlled robots to solve puzzles it's a lot of fun.
