The mechanics that the robot has are pretty fun. It feels tense when you believe that it is chasing after you! The way you used lighting to highlight objects of importance was really neat. It didn't make much sense in the story for the key items to suddenly appear around the map after you interacted with the monitors, but I can get why it's that way from a gameplay perspective. The game is a lot of fun!
dude.....

thank u so much for enjoying the game :D
I enjoyed playing this game and I think it has some potential to be a full game. The gameplay is great. I like how the starting screen shows the highlighted keys on the keyboard, that’s a great way to show the controls without text! The level design could be improved a little, it’s a little hard to navigate even with the flashlight on. Having more places of interest would be good. Another suggestion is to just spawn all the items and let the player collect as they go; it doesn’t make sense to have to finish each part in order, and have the next set of items magically spawn in. The robot AI needs some work too. Other than that, I think everything else was executed very well. Great job!
Yea hard to navigate was intentional and the way of spawning the parts was also intentional, I wanted the player to spend more time playing the game and feel the annoyance of how unpredictable the robot can be than just finishing the level in a couple of mins. I agree the Robot's AI is kinda dumb, it can only spot u if u come anywhere near the where it's eye's lights are pointing at.
Thank you so much for enjoying the game <333333333333333333333333333
That was a fun game!
I wish you would always hear a faint sound of the robot though.
And the robot was really easy to escape from, but towards the end the sound of it being close just made me paranoid, and I did not want to lose.
Awesome :D
Thank you for enjoying the game <3333333333333333333333
it's a great game mate, I think having the flashlight outline when selected would make it easier to know which item is selected, I hated that robot! Great art and asset, good job! Can you take a look at my game too? Cheers
Thank you so much for enjoying the game <33333
Ofc I'll look into ur game :]
Cool idea, reminiscent of the old "Duke Nukem". I received the Blue and Green keys, and then the enemy robot froze on the "flash drive", it was impossible to get around it and it grabbed me 2 times. After each loss, the game crashed :(
In general, a very cool implementation, I liked it!
I made it so the game quits itself when loosing.
Thank you for enjoying the game tho <3333333
BTW guys please read the "Notes" I wrote about the game on the page itself to have a better understanding of the game before playing.
A great game overall. Though I think you should have more purpose to the little device we're given. I didn't really see its purpose that much since I can count how many I've collected in my head. Sound wise could use a little touch too. When the robot is near, found it a little too jarring of a transition. After figuring out the robot doesn't really chase, I didn't get scared afterwards.
Great game overall. đź‘Ť
Yea true the Robot doesn't really chase u unless ur infront of it's glowing red light thingi...... But what's kinda scary is the way it moves around is very unpredictable..... Thank you so much for playing and enjoying the game tho <333333
