Robotron: Reloaded by SuperDisk 2016-12-14T17:47:00
A twin-stick game is always a classic and with the upbeat music it keeps it lively but buy menu every round feels like it is slowing it down once the player gets in the groove. The screen transitions are quite nice!
Unfortunately it felt more of a remake of 2084 rather then a game that can stand on its own. Don't get me wrong the buy menu is a good upgrade but a good upgrade to 2084. In my eyes Robotron: Reloaded stands too close to Robotron 2084 and falls into clone territory. The sprites are 90% identical and the indestructible hulks are the exact same sprite with the only difference being white arms. (I wish I could upload my side by side comparison for other to see)
Credits list game is different then what is stated in compo entry (what did zack and rubert work on?)
Source code is also not currently available and is a requirement for the Compo.
