Your robot arrived on the distant planet LD-28. There seem to be other robots around. The transmitter was damaged while landing. You only get one frame per second. The objective is to find any artifacts and analyze anomalies on the planet.
-------------------
Features: - You only get one FPS - Random world generation around the player - Many parameters for balancing can be set - Feedback after your death to alter the settings according to your performance
(There is no actual win condition)
-------------------
Controls:
Mouse - to look around and shoot WASD - to move M - to mute the sound ESC - to go back to the option menu
Very interesting use of the theme. I no longer take my FPSes for granted after having played this. :) Having to predict where enemies are going and shooting at 1 FPS was kind of hard.
Haha "lags way too much" :] Love the idea of 'one'frame per second. It worked quite well, although my head wanted to burst after playing it for a while. The music is, well, not that good. Thanks!
Haha never thought I'd see lag advertised as a feature! Not sure how well it works from an enjoyment point of view, but I found it a thoroughly interesting idea. Nice ;)
Didn't read the 1 FPS before playing and was was extremely annoyed. Now knowing about the 1 fps as your hook, I am still extremely annoyed by it.

1 FPS... I'm so glad you didn't create that game for LD 27 (Theme: "10 seconds") xD
For a game, there are a bit too many adjustable parameters... Maybe use difficulty presets, and add a customizable one. It's just that I prefer to play games the way they have been designed... without "modding"
Hm, nothing happened for me. I see my robot, run around and nothing happens. But I also didn't see any text on the menus, which I had on other Unity games. I will therefore not rate, but it looks like an interesting game.
No, there isn't any win condition. Edited the description. Only feedback afterwards, functioning as a score and to alter the settings according to your skill if you were very bad or a bit better.
Haha, I thought having one frame per second would be a terrible idea but it turned out ok! It felt like I was remote controlling the robot from a far away location and therefore had only limited data (hence the 1 FPS). Overall a cool concept!

But if you mean real lag (Camera not smooth, Particles lagging),
try disabling the "Use lighting with flashlights" option.

Interesting idea though.
Was there an win-condition?

Great idea
