Player 1 controls a bot, that controls another bot, that fights another bot and it's controlled by another bot, which is controlled by player 2.
Player 1 Controls: * WASD keys - movement * Space-bar key - action [hold key to pick up components]
Player 1 Controls: * Arrow keys - movement * Right-Shift key - action [hold key to pick up components]
Objective: Beat the other player's bot by gathering components, making instructions board, sending them to the fight bot and it will execute your command.
Change Log: * Changed action key for player 2 from 'Right-Ctrl' to 'Right-Shift', prevent browser shortcuts from triggering in WebGL build. Sorry.
The graphics is lovely, the bots are so cute. Interesting idea to say the least, although gameplay may have suffer because of the tough controls. Nonetheless me and my gf had a lot of fun just trying! Thanks for making this!
It looks so cute and I really want to try it, but I can not get anyting done. I hit Space, get the purple part, than hit space again and the part disappears. How do I play?
@pestodesign hi thanks for dropping by! You would need to hold on to space to carry that part and drop it off at one of the two workstations behind :D various combinations for the different moves when the board is built bring it to the control station of your bot and it will issue the command for the move you created :D
@mau Works fine on my Mac mini. Hmm I'm guessing you played the earlier build where player 2 uses the right ctrl key. I have since changed player 2 action key to right shift key. Try refreshing your browser? :confused:
Got to go back and read the comments to actually understand that I have to hold space to move the parts unless I wanted them to disappear! Which I instantly forgot after I succesfuly made first command plate so it disappeared soon after I let go of space after I picked it up and then the basic plate dispenser (dark green) bugged out and stopped working - it only gave me glitched half plate which could not be picked up and also never gave me another working plate. Besides that, the controls feels a bit floaty, I think that is partly on purpose (as the ride on that little wheel), but still think it is a bit too much for my liking. The idea I find briliant and with more precise control (and few debugging rounds, but hey, 72 hours) bursting with potential. The game is fun when you finally get what you need to do and the artstyle is really cute and awesome! Thanks for making this, enjoyed plaing it!
I took some time to understand how the game works, but after that I really had a good time playing it despite it's a little bit slow. The art style is amazing, good job in this! Overall is a good a well polished game.
I played the game with my roommate. Both of us thought it was well made creative game. Only problems we had was the display of the combos and not liking that if you don't hold down the button the piece disappears. If you expand upon the game I think music and sound effects would add a lot. It's a very innovative game that used the theme amazingly. Also the art is extremely well done. Great job.
The lil' bots are freaking adorable - love those guys! I Played it with my better half and while she was not very keen on it, I was. What a shame there's no sound.
I'd have liked: * components/instructions not disappearing on letting go of the action button, maybe just putting them on the floor (and saving it for later) * ~~possibly a shared instructions pool~~ mentioning to players they in fact can steal instructions from each other (I raised the fun rating once I noticed it's indeed possible :thumbsup:) * being able to run around the whole arena, no just around the bottom * basic controller support, at least for 1 player (as some cheap keyboards can't take in more than a certain keypresses at once)
These are just minor complaints. Other than that, I like the game a whole lot and it's possibly my favourite multiplayer entry (well, other than mine, obviously :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:).
BTW. I did not get what genres it covers, so I skipped the theme rating.
The gameplay cycle wasn't very intuitive, it took me a while to figure out how to do things. The graphics were nice, but it felt a bit slow. I don't think all the commands were very balanced. It was very cute though.

@pestodesign You will have to hold the action key to hold on to the components.
Thankyou for the game
Please, take a look at my game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/confessional
