Cannot play! It says it's missing the Extanation_Data folder.

Cant play it too. Unity Games need the *game*Data-Folder and its missing here :(

The graphics are very nice, but I did not understand what I needed to do, I just crunched behind a box, but I was not able to shoot and then the robots killed me. Also the game did not restarted I needed to refresh the page.

Goog-looking hand-drawn graphics but buggy controls.

dat_not_my_game 2016-04-22 14:06

Nice handpainted cyperpunk-style graphics. But unrelated to the theme.

The graphics was VERY nice. The setting is also amazing, and so is the mood.

Once I figured out controls, the game became interesting.

But a tutorial would be nice. At least, add the controls to game description. Lost of people seem to be confused about them.
Also, make camera float ahead of character, so players can see enemies before it's too late.

Good job overall. Again, graphics is amasing.

Btw, what the left building does?

P.S.
@confused_people HERE ARE THE CONTROLS
* WASD/Arrows - move.
* Space - jump.
* Right mouse button (hold) - raise your gun (aim with mouse).
While holding RMB you can:
* Left mouse button - shoot.
* E - mind-control an enemy (only when you aimed your gun at him).

I love the graphics, and I get running out of time to do a tutorial, but I have no idea why you wouldn't include information about how to play in the description. I guessed that maybe i could walk with WASD, pressed D and got shot dead and couldn't figure out how to restart (I know now that Esc lets you restart).

Thanks to HolyBlackCat I was able to play for a bit, but I still die so easy that I don't think I understand how to play. I controlled a couple robots but don't understand how to use them. One that I mind controlled got close to me and then I seemed to lose control as it just kept shooting at me until the timer ran out and my shield dropped.

Love the concept and realization, the controls need some fine tuning and i'm searching the link to the theme

Fantastic art, and nice use of parallax scrolling to make things that much more epic.
I think you could tweak the camera a bit to make it more user-friendly -- perhaps either keep it always centered on the character or even have it off center so that the player can more more in the direction they're facing. For a game where you can die easily, that would help a lot.

The art is wonderful but the controls (and the theme connection) could use a tad more polish.

a333 2016-04-23 17:45

Looks like it's almost inspired by Josan Gonzalez' cyberpunk universe. Nice drawn and well animated. Music is great too.

However, there's almost no theme connection, you are often dying without any visible reason, and controlling robots is useless.

fatalfemalesvideogamefactory 2016-04-23 18:27

Wow graphics really nice!!

siczecheg 2016-04-23 18:31

cool, very sophisticated and complex gameplay

randomhuman 2016-04-23 18:38

Great art style, I love it! I got to control two enemies, but neither were in any position to do anything unfortunately. Then I got to the top of the building and there didn't seem to be a way to proceed? Good overall anyway, aside from a few problems that others have mentioned.

hectigo 2016-04-23 18:44

The art style is gorgeous, but the gameplay is a bit frustrating with collision bugs and camera that lags behind the character. Lack of muzzle flash is also odd especially since the rest of the graphics are great.

retrograze 2016-04-23 18:47

I would love the game...if there were any game to it. The artwork is amazing, but the mouse aiming kept desyncing, the robots in the building got stuck together, and I didn't really see the point in hijacking a robot if you couldn't kill other robots with it.I got killed without seeing what robot was killing me, and since all it takes is one shot to die, I had no way of avoiding it except to keep shooting offscreen and hoping I hit something. The sound design is great, but I think you forgot to loop the main soundtrack, becuase it just cut out on me about a minute in. I would love this game. Just fix the bugs.

neondx 2016-04-23 20:55

died soon, and it's good, but for that kind of gameplay, a restart button would have been great

blan4 2016-04-24 07:15

Graphic is fantastic! Looks like comics book or somepthing. Can't see strong connection with theme, it's not shape shifting, it's more like soul-taking! =) But still good entry overall.

lumscum 2016-04-25 15:45

Really enjoyed the graphics! I didn't quite understand what to do with the enemy control ability though... also the game doesn't seem to restart after you die!

rockhoppergames 2016-04-25 15:52

Gorgeous graphics, and with a soundtrack that really laid down the mood. Unfortunately, the gameplay really didn't live up to that level. People above me have detailed most of the bugs I experienced, so I won't cover that, but I'd recommend getting more programming help for the next time you want to take part, it's a shame to not see the world the graphics and audio belong to not be fully realised...

thommazk 2016-04-25 17:06

Awesome graphics, but there are some things to consider:
— I didn't understand how to control the robots, I kept pressing E when I was told to and nothing would happen;
— The camera is hiding enemies, I was shot before I got to see who killed me;
— There are some bugs that killed the mood for me, for example, my gun suddenly stopped shooting and I don't know what caused that. Since it's a jam entry, that's ok, but you might want to give it a check;

Aside from these matters, I think you really should give this some further polishment, it has a lot of potential.

solkar 2016-04-26 12:01

Two buttons to shoot seems like a very counterintuitive controls. Environment artwork is great.

bradur 2016-05-03 19:25

Good looking game with nice music. Too bad it wasn't very related to the theme and quite incomplete.

thecain 2016-05-08 05:05

The aiming is off, there is no restart button, the enemy control doesn't work, things like this. This game has a lot of issues, and it really isn't very good in it's current state. The only thing going for it is the graphics.
If you come back and overhaul a lot of the issues, this might be a great game. But as it is, I'm going to rate it low.
Except the graphics. Those were nice.

mghareeb32 2016-05-08 08:37

Graphics and animation look absolutely stunning. Audio was very effective as well. However the game mechanic (being able to control robots) wasn't utilized enough. I think there's more that you could have done with that. Good job! And keep up the good work!

jaenis 2016-05-08 15:07

Great looking game, some instructions what to do would be nice though. Couldn't figure out what is the benefit of controlling the robot

rock-eaters 2016-05-08 15:32

Nice Graphics and good mood !

thecain 2016-05-08 17:21

I played the post jam, and you fixed most of issues I had. Now it's a lot better than it was before (don't worry, i'm not changing my rating. It was post). One more thing I would suggest is autosaving every time you enter a new floor.

fin_nolimit 2016-05-08 19:23

The graphics completely rocked but I could not figure out what to do. I read through all the comments and that helped which made the game a ton more fun! nice work!

kovalsky 2016-05-08 19:25

Great atmosphere and soundtrack. If you fix some problems with control we get a very good game.
