"You only get one warning". The boss' words ring in your head.

Called into the office for a scolding, Unit 73 finds himself in need of a friend...

-----------

We had a bit of a false start and decided to focus on one polished level rather than rushing content. You only get one level! For now... working on a second :P

Made by Admiral Fancy Pants
A.K.A: Aaron Baumbach and Luke Blick

Art:
Hand drawn, scanned, and coloured in Photoshop.

Code:
Unity 4.3s 2D pipeline, C#.

-----------

Lessons learnt:
* It's too easy to waste time on silly little mechanics like wandering bots
* Photoshop's a bitch
* Making sounds in bfxr is awesome fun
* Photoshop's a bitch
* How to make a game 100x more fun: find the right 'pew pew' sound for your gun
* Photoshop's a bitch

Controls:

WSAD - movement
Shift - look around

amazing job, i did end up spending ages though trying to see if it's possible to gun down that boss man after i got that big robot!?! fun game and technically awesome for 48hrs!

Thanks! We had all the assets for another level, but wanted to try and polish what we had instead of cramming in content :D

The boss was going to explode, that's why he moves after you visit the server room, but alas.

Just uploading the source now ;)

nice one - too bad I can't kill the boss >:-)

LukuluK17 Dec 2013, 13:06

Gg for the arts and the mood ! I would have liked more gameplay with it, but at least it feels clean !

I feel so sad that I couldn't kill the boss !

WiseGAMER17 Dec 2013, 13:18

Nice game you got here. To bad it is short. I would loved it more if I could kill the boss.

Beautiful artwork. Feel like the bots could have died in a more glamourous way than vanisning.
It's obvious that this is unfinished, but I would love to play a more complete version :)

Great job! Game is really good. Waiting for another level to play =)

I really enjoy the plot. Steeve's reactions are fun, and the final drawing just give me the will to play to its adventures as a free robot.

Fun graphics!

Denis Chakarov18 Dec 2013, 17:45

Got stuck after the thief escaped and the guards were called... And I really wanted to start shooting after reading about your "pew pew" sound :)))
Anyway, nice graphics and humor! Good job!

Awesome arts! :)

Almax27author18 Dec 2013, 18:05

Thanks for feedback guys, we're currently working on level 2 and fleshing out your 'options' in level 1 hehe, check back in a few days!

@Denis Chakarov
Try having a look at the the centre of the big flashing light :P

archaeometrician18 Dec 2013, 18:21

Nice art ! I can't kill the boss either :P

Hyoga-3D18 Dec 2013, 18:51

Nice art, but I didn't understood what I needed to do.

Infin820 Dec 2013, 14:22

Interesting, but it doesn't exactly have gameplay though.

Benoît Freslon20 Dec 2013, 14:48

Nice game! But too short! And I don't have a QWERTY keyboard. :(

drkrunk20 Dec 2013, 14:49

I would really like to see a Post-Compo continuing with the story. Overall, this was really fun and entertaining. It was really polished. Great job!

Arkrothe20 Dec 2013, 14:53

A pretty good game with a quirky story. Would like more levels!

OddballDave20 Dec 2013, 14:59

Great graphics and sound. Was a little short, but not surprising considering the time restraint. Good work.

Almax27author20 Dec 2013, 15:17

Cheers guys

@Benoît Freslon - I'll add arrow key support in the upcoming 'post' version, thanks for the heads up :D

cappelnord20 Dec 2013, 15:35

Awesome graphics. Not very much game play though, but good writing.

wdebowicz20 Dec 2013, 15:43

I like the art.

dudsen20 Dec 2013, 21:18

Great potential, and cool character designs! And yes, I DID try to kill the boss with the gunner robot ^^

Shigor22 Dec 2013, 13:45

This has a lot potential, too bad it's so short...

I'd consider making this a bit bigger game on your place. I like Steve :)

OneDee26 Dec 2013, 07:09

haha!

Christina Nordlander1 Jan 2014, 21:20

Very short, and I kind of wish there were more of a challenge to it, but all that can be put down to the time limit. The graphics are absolutely brilliant and lovable, five stars on that. The writing is very funny, and Steve is an excellent hero. I like the hacking.

By all means keep making games. This is great.

Forgot to mention: excellent Simpsons reference in the start screen.
