Cute game... I like the graphics a lot :)
The elevator..... The elevator will spawn if you stand on the platform for 3 seconds... the elevators will disappear after 30 seconds.... ran out of time to make a better system.
@lolninjacatz Thank for the kind comments... I agree with you on the movement.. I had a huge problem getting Gamesalad (ugh) to work when I exported to HTML 5 and I had to remove some of the friction of the movement... so its kinda like the robot is on ice... :( And the game looks so much better in 720p... GameSalad doesn't let you export HTML5 to anything bigger than 420.
@jugglerrob Yeah... I kept putting off fixing the elevator, then it was too late to fix it for good :(
Thanks for the kind comments :)
@lekochen, Yeah its GameSalad.... their web player is kinda garbage... I'm going to polish it up and try to get it onto iPad and iPhone for free in the next month or so.
@spotline - Yeah... :( I really regret that the most... I just ran out of time... My plan was to work on sound the last hour... but I ran into some problems with how the game worked.. so I lost that time.
@renatopp - Thank you for commenting... yeah I would have to agree with you about being intuitive... I tried to make visual clues about what to do in the game... but you can't really see them when it shrinks the game to 480. I originally build it to be 720p... Its really hard to tell that the robots eye changes color between the blue and the green... and also the arrows are almost invisible. Thanks for playing though :)
@designernap Yeah... I already am thinking about working more on it... I really like the direction it ended up going in... I feel like there is a bigger story going on here with the robot... or robots...? :)
So I was reading up on the rules about fixing bugs and I might go back in and fix the slippery movement. It was not originally made this way. When I uploaded the game to GameSalads servers there was a problem with the movement of the robot and I thought it had something to do with the friction settings of the robot and the floor...so I made them both zero, this didn't fix the problem.. but I never changed it back. I will update the friction settings to the original settings before I fixed that bug and hopefully the controls will not be so bad.
Thank you everyone for the comments and the insight into my little game. This is my first Ludum Dare so all of it is invaluable to me. I am going to keep working on the game and see if I can get it more polished and then put it out on iPad for free... I feel like the game looks so much better on a large screen. I started working on sound lastnight... because I do feel like that is a huge part of any game... Thanks everyone again.
Interesting idea
Cool game, was over a bit too quick though... you should flesh this out more cause you have something neat here.
I like how the bugs crawl over the score and the ui.... I am really itchy now... Nice entry :)
Cool game, but not sure how it relates to the theme... but cool :)
Nice music to die to :) I like the simplicity of the graphics. good job!
Liked it, a lot of fun :)
