A very fun game, but the bugginess gets in the way.
Sorry to hear that! Wish we had more time to patch everything!
A bit clunky in certain areas, but overall a very good and unique concept with a lot of potential.
Thank you!
Very fun little game! Assembling little robots with different pieces to design your own combat strategy is really neat. I love any kind of game where you try to find the balance between economy and power. It took me a little while to figure out that I was placing robots in columns and not grid squares, and it seems like after a certain point the game decided it was time for me to lose and started spawning an impossible horde.
Nitpicks:
Thank you for the feedback! I guess the shovel should be the default. And for the tablet someone else in this comment section said that maybe it could be activated with the press of a button. That’s the best solution I’ve heard so far. It could either be that the tablet is open while holding the button or you just click it to open and close
Absolutely awesome! Love it!
The gameplay was well crafted and nice presented. The audio FX weren't too bad either. The story is good enough and I like the graphics. I would have really benefitted from deleting bots to replace them (Maybe that's possible and I missed it)
Glad to hear that! We wanted to add that feature last minute but it would just give out errors and with 10 minutes to go we decided to just build it as it is. Will add it later though
Placing the bots is a little clunky. Reminds me of Plants vs Zombies.
Yep that was our main inspiration. You can only place bots by columns though (and 1 per column)
Really liked the concept and the story telling. I started to get console errors and couldnt do much else but it was fun!
Yep unfortunately as I detailed in this comment section before I forgot to uncheck the “development build” option when building the web variant so that’s why the errors popped up😬. And yes there is a bug in the tutorial where you can’t lose but during normal gameplay there is no such bug. Just 1/2 more hours would’ve been enough for us to fix those bugs but I guess it is what it is
The robots didn´t go where I place them (or do I only choose the column?), they shoot through each other, the tablet is kinda of a chore to open and close by clicking a button and at one point errors filled up my screen. These bugs impact the game quite a bit but if you could fix these things I think it´d be a pretty neat game
Ok to address all of this😅
- yep you only choose the column. I guess I should’ve made it a bit more clear in the tutorial
- We thought that it would be better to have them be able to shoot trough each other since we were greatly inspired from Plants VS Zombies
- The errors war probably from the tutorial. If you encountered any more errors than please tell us (for the browser [webGL] variant we unfortunatley forgot to turn off “development build” so that’s why the errors popped up)
Anyways thank you for your feedback and patience!
Ah I see, that explains everything then, only thing I advise is to make bullets be drawn over the robots, to make it clearer that the bullets are going by the robot´s side and not perfurting them
Oh that’s a great idea! Thanks! Oh and about the tablet. In retrospect I think it would’ve been a good idea to also add a key bind to it
Yep unfortunately due to limited time some bugs were left unfixed. As I said before in this comment section we unfortunately forgot to switch “development build” off when building the game so that’s why the errors popped up. Although I see there is no timer on your screenshot so I believe that you were in tutorial mode where there is a known bug that you can’t die. If you want to learn more about it then you can visit the description.
Thank you for your feedback about the difficulty!
Cool concept! Found some small bugs, like not being able to place any robots and the timer not resetting, but it's definitely got that Plants vs Zombies vibe!
Glad to hear you liked it! Unfortunately due to time constraints some bugs were left in. We hope to fix them in the future (after the jam ends).
My best is 03.45. Is it good? (it's bad isn't it D:)
That’s really great! Considering that the difficulty ramps up really fast! Congrats!
pretty good
Thank you!
Took me a long time to figure things out - maybe tutorial needs to be forced but quick where it guides you through main game loop with tooltips? Well done either way :) Had fun <3
Thank you! Yep tutorial is forced on the PC variant the first time playing but for some reason on webGL it doesn’t force it. Anyways there is a bug in the tutorial where you can’t loose (there is more info on that in the description). But thank you for your patience!
took me a min to figure it out but was really fun once i did! Automated ai plants vs zombies that does some really cool unique things -awesome work on this one! Loved all the custom options on the bots too! :D
Thank you!
Very nice work to implement all these customizable robots in such a short amount of time. Good job! My only suggestion is to pause (or slow down) the game while building the robot, especially at the beginning if you do not know by heart the cost and effect of all the items, you are overwhelmed easily.
Thank you for the feedback! I guess you are right! Will add that in the future in case this turns into a full release!
i really enjoy the story telling and really appreciated that how you guys made the most features such as custamization, manus , sound , VFX in a sort period of time that absolutly insan 9.5/10.
-found a little bug after restarting the game i didn't able to spawn the robots idk why but this happens with me XD
Thank you so much! There are a few bugs since we didn’t have much time to playtest. Sorry for that😥
but I really enjoyed the game 😄
Cool game! I like the customization and the different perks you can give the robots.
Thank you!
Nice game! It's great if you could finish the game. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We could add something like “at a certain time the rescuers come” and you finish the game and we might add that in the future but for now we thought that just having an endless timer based game would be cool. But thank you for your feedback!
Nice job! I like the creativity behind mixing character customization with functionality. The visuals are also really nice, with particle effects and animating the menu. I'm not able to get to a lose or win state though.
Hi! Yes. Unfortunately in the tutorial level (the one with the story first) there is a slight bug that doesn’t allow you to lose😢. But if you restart the game you will be greeted by a main menu and you can click the “PLAY” button which starts a normal game where you can loose. There is no win state, the purpose of the game is to resist for the longest time possible. But thanks for playing!
