Good theme based idea, and you are right no one likes dead pixels.

psychomonster 2014-12-08 22:19

You need much more screenshots :D Funny idea... don't know what to do ;)

Aspect ratio is a bit too wide, I can barely see the screen on kongregate.

Other than that, really fun game!

murchurl 2014-12-09 13:21

Kinda confused as to what i have to do, but i love how you've interpreted the theme!

kraln 2014-12-09 13:25

Kongregate broken :(

spartanicecream 2014-12-09 13:27

Nice job but it has one of the strangest aspect ratios I've seen (at least on the web version)

gamedevextreme 2014-12-09 13:30

I updated the game page, hope it makes it more understandable, and about the aspect ratio, its 960*600, whats weird about that? it's less wide then 1080p. thanks for playing:)

gamedevextreme 2014-12-09 13:33

Oh, it was 960*60, its now fixed and back to 960*600, sorry.

The web link to Kongregate doesn't seem to work, will try the windows version instead.

dieblume86 2014-12-09 14:27

Nice game.

gamedevextreme 2014-12-09 14:27

the link works for me, anyway, the windows version works as well.

maxyan 2014-12-09 14:29

Interesting concept, but need some tutorial.

schuranator 2014-12-09 14:32

I wasn't completely sure what the purpose of the player was, since the robots seem to spawn in random places once purchased. Is the player supposed to be able to repair pixels themselves, or is that also a job exclusive to the robots?

floorman 2014-12-09 14:33

I like your adaptation of the theme. But I'm entirely sure how to play the game. =(

blobby101 2014-12-09 14:35

Nice idea, I found the gameplay a bit confusing though - my repair bots never seemed to repair anything, and eventually all my gun bots died and I had no money left. That was probably just me being bad at it though!

mechanicmoon 2014-12-09 19:34

Very fun gameplay, cool animations and good graphics. Maybe it needs a bit more of polishing, but great implementation of the theme, good work!

tsabanski 2014-12-10 08:46

The idea of the game being physically on a screen is really good -- definitely on-target for theme. The music was also fantastic!

Though, after I played it for a few minutes, I wasn't quite sure if I was doing things correctly (or at all!) due to a lack of player feedback. :( There aren't any sound cues, or explosions, or visual things that let you know you're doing things correctly. You kinda just put down the robots and hope they do the right things.

Keep the base idea, though. :) It's a good one!

grabengroup 2014-12-10 11:42

i just jumped down :D jumping animation is awesome :D

mintarcade 2014-12-10 12:31

No one likes dead pixels. Good use of theme.

shampop 2014-12-10 14:32

Great use of the theme !

After a minute or two, I earned so much money that I couldn't spend it all, and the game was becoming slow

gamedevextreme 2014-12-10 15:24

by slow, do you mean low frame rate? or boring?

sushin 2014-12-10 16:43

Loved the theme! I really enjoyed going all over my screen fixing stuff :)

davesoft 2014-12-10 19:14

I like it, nice use of the theme :D

geckoo1337 2014-12-11 06:43

I hate this avatar which is embedded in unity. I would prefer instead a simple cube, but it's good enough ++

x70x 2014-12-15 15:50

Couldn't really identify the strategy that is the "best". I just kept getting money and buying lots of bots. Interesting concept, but you probably should have opted out of the Graphics category since you are using a Unity third-person controller model that you did not create.

cakencode 2014-12-15 15:53

The mechanics work, but as others have mentioned, it'd be nice to have some feedback on whether everything is going well or not. Just a little bit of status information so you can guage what needs prioritization at the moment.

mrshoestore 2014-12-15 16:00

seemed broken to me. on first load the movement got stuck, so if i press forward it would forever walk forward. then on reload of the page, the entire floor was black.

freaknarf 2014-12-16 17:35

Weird concept!sadly it's a bit laggy on my computer.Cheers!

gins 2014-12-16 20:44

Cool interpretation of the theme, but I don't really understand the game :(

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-20 20:50

I dont think I really understood the game. I Included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/09kdLS-s81I

pht59x 2014-12-27 21:54

Theme-wise you're spot on! Very original use of the theme indeed. The sound is crystal clear as well as the 3D scene. With regard to gameplay, I am less sure.

01rafael 2014-12-29 18:02

Lovely default unity builder! this guy is awesome!

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 21:31

garethiw 2014-12-29 21:33
