Welcome

This is my second Ludum Dare! The idea this time is that if you have too many upgrades, you will have a more difficult time to complete the game. But you also want to have as many upgrades as possible for the SWAG.

SWAG


By upgrading your robot you will get more SWAG. With alot of SWAG you will make success at the ROBO-Assemblage, largest EXPO for robots!

##### Controls

- Movement: WASD, Arrowkeys, Q+E
- Menu: ESC
- Shoot: Space

##### Gameplay

Collect powerups to make your robot more Lavish and Impressive. Be aware that the heat level will rise when the load increases on your old power core.

Get to the ROBO-Assemblage before you overheat or worse!

#### Features
- Menus! (didn't have that last LD!)
- Levels! (More than one level this time around)
- Victory screen!
- Easy gameplay

Missing:
- Better control (flipping is easy, ran out of time for this)
- Game balance (I know the bullets are almost floating mid air)
- More feedback (pickups etc should give the player easier information of the SWAG, HEAT and performance-changes)
- Weight mechanics (weight has no impact in the game)
- "Lavish" powerup (missing body-powerup that should only give SWAG. Now body gets replaced by overall SWAG)

##### Background

You play a rusty old robot that has lost all SWAG. Everything changes when you find a ticket to the expo ROBO-Assemblage! Make your way there as early as possible, but maybe take the opportunity to get some upgrades on the way?

Beware: Your power core can't be upgraded, so each upgrade will take its toll on the HEAT-meter. Hopefully you can keep it together and show some SWAG at the EXPO!

#### Garbage win!

#### Epic win!
