Destroy the evil robot with NanoDog from within!

Music by Deceased Superior Technician

Tools:
Unity3D
2D Toolkit
Photoshop
Audacity
SFXR

Controls:
WSAD / arrow keys to move
Mouse to aim and fire
R to regenerate the level

Rooms are randomised but there's only 5 kinds of room.
Was originally going to add more levels with the dog shrinking down further to get deeper into the robot's innards but ran out of time.

Can you find the power meat?

haha. the story is pretty funny. the game reminds me of the first legend of zelda game in the dungeons. very short, but nice! good job :3
cirolve29 Apr 2014, 02:48
Haha, that's pretty funny. I like the Zelda-style dungeons, and that boss was weird. Good game!

"Why did we give it adamantium hugging arms and loving gaze heat lasers?" lol, best line in the game. I think I got lucky and found the boss after only 3 or 4 rooms, but it was fun. Nice artwork especially on the cutscenes.

I really dig the humor. The first time I clicked the mouse during gameplay... oh man, it was magical.

Good gameplay, too! I was a bit worried that the firing speed and/or bullet speed were too slow and was keeping an eye out for upgrades or something similar. I got to the end with no problems, though. Nice work.

With a story dialog that long, I didn't expect the game to end that quickly. Maybe its randomized. Very cool art!
greysphere29 Apr 2014, 02:55
Yes, I've saved the universe from the loving gaze heat lazers and adamantium hugging arms!

Neat little game. With more levels, and more to it than just shooting, and a little polish, could be something pretty neat!

Yeah, we planned on adding loads more stuff.. You can press R to regenerate the level, maybe you can find the power meat?

Quite hard to aim, but I got used to it. Love the art style and intro. is included in that! Sound great also... very retro.

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

The second game I've finished until the end! The graphic direction was a bit uncohesive, but the general idea was really funny. I only got damaged once, though, so maybe you want to rebalance the room difficulty (please note: I am not very good at Binding of Isaac).

@Solifuge I know what you mean, I threw in some coder art as we were strapped for time. The levels are a bit easy as they were meant to be the first of many :)

I like the Binding of Isaac sort of design! :)
DarkMeatGames29 Apr 2014, 20:03
Liked the story and humor, and it was fun to play. With some more content and polish this could be really fun!

Really appreciate the art. I died once at the boss and finally beat it! Great work

Why did I have to kill the robot? Didn't it just want hugs?!?

Overall a very silly game, and I liked it. I didn't read the controls first so it took me a little bit before I released I was supposed to shoot with the mouse.

It would have been nice to see what else could have been added if you had more time. It still managed to feel complete, just short.

@hitchh1k3r It's a hug bot gone rogue. It's destroying the city and no one can stop it... except NanoDog! If it makes you feel better about it they can plug in a new non-broken chip afterwards :)

Very fun, nice graphics and the moonwalk was really cool
PoQA Games30 Apr 2014, 05:13
Moon walking dog ftw :D I like how this is one of the few games that has an ending that's easy to get to.

Great fun - classic twin stick and I love the dog sprite. Found it mega easy though - would have loved to play a really really hard version of this game :)

Nice. It's like The Binding of Isaac with a dog!
Too short but the art was good :)

Story is so bizarre xD, the dog is super duper cute!
Moosefly1 May 2014, 16:01
Damn, walked in to a room and almost instantly lost 2 whole hearts, talk about bad luck :P. Still managed to finish it on the first try. Nothing too fancy, but a nice little game!

This is Japanese craziness quality here! Fun, funny and cool entry! haha

Iteresting take on an old Legend of Zelda concept. Very funny story and overall it's fun to play. Graphics need some improvement, but good result for a jam entry!

Good Zelda I -like game, fun to play !
