Very cool game and very impressive for the 13kB challenge. As a fan of Richard Garfield games, I really liked this reimagination of Robo Rally. Here is some feedback which might help to improve the game:
Congratulations to this very well made game! Well done!
Thank you for this great and useful review!
Yes, the commands are read from the state of the buttons as soon as the execute-button is pressed. I even thougth about disabling this one, but not the others. I somehow like the idea of changing the program in between. This should be possible by spending some (or even many) of the robots power.
I initially planned a countdown for the programming-phase. somehow that plan got lost on the way.
And i really agree with the games pace. it should be faster.
Hey! Tried to pass the game, and almost did, but a bug kept occurring where it would forever loop the last command(eg. just continuously move forward) randomly, so sadly couldnt finish. HOWEVER, I love the art style and the idea is super interesting and creative, like a preset turn based puzzle type thing! Very cool
Had this same bug yesterday. has somehting to do with the scaling of the screen, as it only occured when the canvas was not at its internal size.
Thx for the kind words :)
I like that the mute button is called “Muse” because of the music. The game is a bit difficult to understand. I’m not entirely sure what to do. The sprites a cute, and we can see the charm of js13kgames in it. Good job.
Thx!
I felt obliged, to honor Muse at least with this button for their song Hysteria with its terrific bassline;-)
