Loved the sound effects, witty. And the vibe made me think of the old old castle wolfenstien game. Very cool.

wumpus 2012-08-28 10:06

Haha, loved it. Any questions I had about the use of the them are cast aside when I hear those sound effects. The kinda humour only a Ludum Dare game will conjure up. I really liked the extra layer of being able to throw guns and bodies too. Nice work.

Thank you Starman for the startling review :)
Nice to know that you get my interpretation of the evolution theme, I was a bit worried that some might argue it's more "adaptation" than "evolution".

This entry is what I think has the best theme implementation from what I've played so far:

Today I killed a man by throwing the dead corpse of my creator at him. He was three days from his retirement.

All in all a good day for a robot.

haha this was fun. btw, the dead sound killed me O.o

starmen 2012-08-28 10:46

The dead sound is suuuuuper loud. I can turn it down if it's getting to be too much of a problem. The coding situation towards the end got a bit awkward where my partner who was doing that stuff couldn't actually test the game, so the volume stuff is a bit messed up.

Nice voice acting. A few of the rooms seem like you need to know what to do before you enter to beat them (especially the second last one), but the game is short enough that it doesn't really matter.

very good! just z is nasty on german keyboard, and picking up an empty gun can be confusing

dadeyemi 2012-08-28 16:16

Best game yet, Good job! took me a while to work out you needed the multi-shot gun to beat the final room xD.
I dont know if its a problem but this can be sped through in about 10 secs if you pick up a crate run through all rooms not killing anything till you multi-shot gun guy and then kite a bit in the last room b4 running through the door.

dadeyemi 2012-08-28 16:18

I'd actually like to play a full game of this with some story line more weapons etc.

starmen 2012-08-28 16:19

@ Dadeyemi - Yeah, I know that you can do that. We were trying to stop that by putting the light machine gun guys in the last room and that absolute mass of assault rifle guys, but unfortunately it just didn't work out that way. Thanks for the nice words though.

Love those sprites.

Nice game, not my kind of humor. Kinda annoying when you kill a lot of enemies at the same time. Also the map layout not being consistent at one point. Other than that it is pretty nice!

dvdking 2012-08-28 18:03

this game is weird... i think i was quite far, but then i met a HUGE amount of guys in one room, there were so many bullets... i don't think it was possible to pass.
I actually had fun with the game. Really like that i can throw everything.

sience 2012-08-28 21:38

Nice playable game. It's abit too fast for me but anyway good work for 72h!

pjchardt 2012-08-29 05:16

Thoroughly enjoyed the voice acting :) Fun game, nice tempo.

bumpkinrich 2012-08-29 15:19

Wasn't sure what to do at first, or why I was wondering around. Then found out I had to kill people with boxes. Awesomes!

orni 2012-08-30 12:16

haha, liked it
throwing corpes to get more corpes to get more corpes - as a robot!

abpositive03 2012-08-30 22:13

BEEP. BOOP. Can I give you an award for awesome voice acting?

starmen 2012-08-31 00:12

@ABPositive03 BEEP.

madpew 2012-08-31 10:12

Voiceacting is great in this one. so emotional :D. The idea is great as well. Would love to see this mechanic expanded into a full game with more polish.

puzzlem00n 2012-08-31 20:59

Brilliance! I could only beat it through running fast, though, like Dadayemi pointed out. Death sound is hilarious, and I'm glad you decided to voice act! I think Sergei Russiashinov or whatever needs to be in more games!

moomoo112 2012-09-01 05:35

come in from a door, exit through that same door into new room.. are we in willy wonka's factory?
fun though

switchbreak 2012-09-01 17:31

Nice work, loved the sprites and the sound effects. Really hard, kinda weird how doors lead to different places from different directions.

murrayl 2012-09-02 16:08

Pretty hilarious little 2D shooter. Throwing dead people around was brilliant fun!
