Running Low

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★24%

A ship piloted by robots has been infected with a computer virus sending the robots mad. One lowly recharging robot is left uninfected. Now he is trying to survive with what little resource he has left. Using an EM blast which drains the charging unit of all his power you must use it wisely to chain together enemies and collect energy back from their explosions for another charge.

I've got install web player in the web link
And I'm sure that I already have it. :)

Its using the latest version of Unity. Might be that yours is out of date? I am able to view it myself without a problem.

Also it might be that your browser is blocking page content. In IE I get a bar on the bottem that I have to accept. Chrome gives me a thing at the top of the page I have to accept.

Nice little game :D

Thank you sir. My first crack at this. I'm happy with how it turned out specially since I have minimum art skills.

I've got the latest version of Unity and all I am getting is a install unity link.

I had a bit of difficulty to get it to load in Chrome, but it works. (I needed to allow unsafe scripts, and allow plugins to run.)

It's a cool idea. I like the chaining. It gets pretty crazy. Nice entry.

Couldn't get the web version to work in any browser, and the Windows version isn't working either (the data directory is missing).

For the web player you have to allow unsafe scripts. Sorry I don't have a SSL key to make it so browsers will allow plugin scripts to run without it. I am fixing the windows version I'll re-upload it shortly.

Something wrong with web link

littlefreak3000author29 Dec 2013, 04:15

Explained above.

Brilliant idea, the chaining concept works amazingly, and super strategic too, nice simple graphics too! Though enemies keep respawning after game over :D I'm a bit crap though, could only manage about 300 :(

I like the game concept very much. The game is pretty hard though. My highscore is 316. It seems to be mostly luck, because it's not foreseeable were the next spawned robots will go. Maybe a bigger area would help or the robots could be spawned always in the same position with every new try. And I would like to have some audio. I played the web version with safari, because chrome wouldn't allow me to play it.

Thanks guys. Yea if I had more time I would have definitely worked out making the difficulty curve more reasonable. Your points per hit will double with each successful chains. So try for longer chains to score more points. The enemies do spawn in the same place with the same timing every time except the smaller enemy will have a random heading.

Interesting concept, pretty fun!

I first got the 'you must install...' error. Downloaded the Windows version and got no enemies. Tried the web version again and it worked.

It's a fun game. Core mechanic works well, though sometimes it seems that I don't get recharged by the EM blasts from opponents. Could use some polish.
