Hopefully the next caretaker will be more successful, haha! Awesome looking game, cool sounds too! I couldn't quite figure out what to do, but I dig the backstory and atmosphere you've created. Nice one!
well done!
Pleasant game, I like the variety of enemies. Those little driving robots surprised me :) Well done!
I like it. I'm not sure how to defeat the little robots on the ground though. I couldn't seem to shoot them. Maybe my aim is bad.
Cool Doom style game. Sometimes dead enemies are jamming passages.
This is a game featuring a classic robotic takeover.
I managed to beat the game on the second try after learning about how to progress and how all the different enemies worked on the first try. Sprinkle in a little bit of recoverable panic, and you got what I would call a fun game! Ankle Tasers kinda set me off a little bit.
There was definitely a lot of experimentation on NavigationAgent, and it shows. The basic floater bots were sliding along any wall that they needed to round a corner for, but the Ankle Tasers moved with purpose, speed, and efficiency.
It was a little hard to work out the projectile used by the turrets, but it still worked.
I think I made a bug on the first playthrough involving the lights, which would remain off after I put the core back (I thought I was flipping a switch at the time.). Suddenly, the state had reversed into being on with the core out.
Overall, this is a strong showing, and you get full marks for a fun experience. The panic attacks I had kept me going throughout the long stretch of gameplay, and electing to retry is a big mark for fun. I think a greater variety of enemies and a little bit of polish on the presentation would see this game go really far. Very well done as a newcomer!
Thanks for the feedback.
You're right it's been tricky getting two very different NavAgents working with the same NavRegion, something I'll keep experimenting with outside of jams.
I didn't have a specific name for the ground drones but it's now cannon that they're called Ankle Tasers
I'll see if I can replicate the bug with the lights and get it fixed after the voting period ends, it should turn the lights back on if you return the power core
I liked the different robots that came after me! Took me a bit to figure out where the computer was but after that, it was smooth sailing! Great job!
Thanks! I had planned some hints to guide you through the first interactions you needed to take, alas time was running short
Totally fair! Game jam is gonna game jam haha
