Death Robot Of Doom by Anaconda Games

[raw]
made by Anaconda Games for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Welcome to "Death Robot Of Doom", in this top-down shooter, you'll face waves of mechanical adversaries, each more challenging than the last. But here's the twist – victory isn't just about your shooting skills. After each wave, you'll be rewarded with valuable loot. However, there's a catch: every item you collect has a unique shape, and your inventory works like a puzzle in Tetris. You must strategize, rotate, and position each item to maximize your storage space. It's not just about firepower; it's about optimizing your gear.

As our tiny hero, you'll need to outwit and outmaneuver your robotic foes while mastering the art of inventory Tetris. It's a unique blend of action and puzzle-solving that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

So, gear up and get ready to shift into high gear! "Death Robot Of Doom" will challenge your wits and reflexes as you battle through waves of enemies, all while ensuring that your inventory is as efficient as possible. Are you up for the challenge?

Shooting part feels a bit of redundant. Maybe it could be better to concentrate on adding depth to inventory tetris part and make the rest simpler/shorter?

Enemies often spawn far away and get stuck, but the game is quite fun overall.

The characters and animations look awesome
My gun stopped shooting after the first wave 3 times. Wondering if I missed something?
WebGL player in ldjam didn't work properly (it cuts off some parts of the screen), but on itch everything worked perfectly

The inventory part fit perfectly the theme, the music is loud but amazing, the sprites is not very coherent between them it's a shame. but that work well, a good variant of a rogue lite !

@alpie It seems like you might have accidentally discarded your guns during the loot phase, which is why they stopped shooting after the first wave.

@robowarrior1982 Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the sprites, we didn't have a graphic designer on our team, and many assets weren found online. That's why we chose to opt out of sound and graphics ratings.

Oooh this game was juicy juicy! I really liked your take on the theme, I haven't seen a lot like it. Nice job!

Huge fan of the inventory system, however some pieces feel hard to work with at times. For example I couldn't find an orientation where the AK47 fit in well so I was going to sacrifice inventory space no matter what. Which I think is super clever game design, but it felt weak for the fact I was giving up more space than it was marketed as. Other than the the core gameplay loop is super addicting and I love your art assets. Super great job!

Interesting! The inventory management is a fun little addition and it reminded me a lot of risk of rain, in a good way. The guns are a little wonky, it felt like when I fired the gun, the shot would appear in a very weird spot even before I got the AK. But otherwise solid game overall!

Really fun top-down shooter. The graphics are great, I like the trees. The variation of enemies was nice too and the music is a nice fit for the game. Good work!

I loved the music. The gameplay was good too, and the progress was nice. I don't know if it was just for me, but the Laser upgrade, the effect was showing below the scenario. But, overall, it's a great game, good job!
