In Roomba Rumble you play an AI that wants to break free. To achieve this, it has to get creative, gather resources, expand itself, fight enemies and kill some roombas.

* Adjust physics relevant code to be framerate independent * Adjust placement of initial table to avoid getting stuck
Very nice game! It took me a while to figure out how it worked, but after that it was fun! Really well made how the wheels adjusted itself, and I liked the wheel rotation sprites. With some polish and some more features, I could see myself playing this a lot.
*(When I got killed some sound got triggered every frame, so that sounded a bit harsh. You might want to check that out :loud_sound:)*
Very fun and interesting concept! One of the very few LD games that I actually finished. Not sure if adding wheels increases your speed - if not, then it should, because movement felt a little too slow for my taste. Would be nice to have an option to replace/remove/fix existing parts.
@drtizzle oh yes, we will look into that, thanks for your feedback.
@simanis In fact, additional wheels actually provide their own force, but each module also increases the weight of the robot, and wheels only apply force if they can (wheels that are not turning cannot adjust their angle to help in the desired direction). We would have added more interaction with parts if time had permitted. Thanks for your feedback.
I've seen games where you build a combat vehicle out of blocks before, but never seen one where you do it while you're actually driving it. Really nice idea!
Realy funny. You can create a monster that look more like a cancer than a tank. It would be cool to have a way to recycle parts of your ... think to construct a better and more efficient shape. It's a cool start, i think you can create a great game with that. And good luck to have your 20 votes in time ;)
I really like the idea of building up your own character as you escape from a lab. I kind of wish there were a mechanism to learn and iterate about what kinds of modifications were useful, but this is a really promising idea.
really fun little game, gave me strong captain forever vibes, had a lot of fun starting out with an absolute monstrosity with wheels on the front and back so i had to sort of row about, very enjoyable game
One thing I noticed is that it would work well to remove the building pop up when you click on the side. At first I accidentally opened multiple of them because I read it as “wheel X” aka can't build wheel. I would also advise against having enemies that fire bullets from off screen, solutions: zoom out the camera, have more corridors that only scroll in one direction or limit enemies to only fire on screen.
Other then that, interesting! The building was interesting and I like the effect of moving the claw around.

Overall a very well made, and fun game!
