Roguebots is a narrative roguelike about robots that grow consciousness. Control with mouse (left/right button). There are 5 levels. It may be a bit hard! So good luck!
//Update Apparently there was a bug resulting in not being able to get past level 2
//Update 2 Finally fixed the camera going all apeshit sometimes!
This is really cool. Loved the music and the connectors at the bottom. I found the camera movements a bit confusing at times but other than that, awesome!
Controls are not intuitive. Camera is always on a frenzy and it makes the game worse. Things at the bottom were a pain at times. Will play more of it. :)
Interesting idea. Tactile UI wasn't clear initially but a neatly presented. My biggest gripe was the rotating camera made it a little disorientating. Nifty though!
Man, if the robots actually went where I clicked, this would be pretty fun. It took me maybe too long to realise that I could possess other robots. The wildly rotating camera is quite nice, I like it. You've got a good game here, but it's held back by how non-obvious its core mechanic is, and by the inaccuracy of movement. If those issues weren't present, it'd be an easy five stars.
Really interesting idea. Game looks awesome. Especially the uhh.. wire attachy thing with the sort of.. rope physics. Feels really good.
I was confused at first on how to open the guard seals, and I had to back out of the game to find you had to use the mouse, it'd be nice to have had an explanation, but otherwise it was cool.
In terms of the gameplay, this is a really good basis. It'd be nice to have more robot types like.. ones that can float above pits and shit like that to solve puzzles. I found the purple bots completely useless, as it was easier to just warp into all the guard bots (and warp into grey bots in between) until all of the bots were gone. It changed up when there was a power bot but I just stayed out of its range and fired rockets.
The ending as well, is there an alternative ending? It would've been nice if so. I felt like that guy was the antagonist, so my immediately response to him saying "hey he can end it now" was to put the pin into "restart" and restart the level, which meant I had to watch the cutscene again. It'd be nice to be able to defy the machine, portal style.
But yeah, I think you have a really good basis for a game here, it looks fucking awesome. Music is awesome too. My favourite game so far.
I like how all your LD-games have a total different style. This one is very innovative and you had me playing for quite some time. Like the rest said: I had to get used to the way the camera works, but it wasn't bad after a while. For some reason I always like your style when it comes to graphics. Juicy! Good job!
Wow, awesome entry. Art is amazing, especially this wire clip thingie. Great level of overall polish! The camera tho... oh the camera. The world is still spinning after playing the game for a while. :D Impressing stuff!
When I overtook a robot, I felt impressed. If you continue to develop this, when I got to the third level and took over a half dozen robots I wasn't sure what I could do next besides take over another robot and open a door.
Fun little game. Slightly confusing when I first encountered the secured door, but I was able to figure it out quickly enough. Wonderful graphics, I might add; great job!
HOLY CRAP! Even though I don't think I fully understood the gameplay, I still had a lot of fun, and this is definitely the juiciest game I've ever played for LD! Amazing work!!
