After his Spaceship was destroyed Roboson Crusoe stranded on the tiny planet Muranus. He tries to send an emergency signal but then the evil Spiders attack him.

Feed the Antenna with battery cells to keep the signal alive. You can find them on the surface of Muranus. Fight against the spiders and eventually Roboson will survive.

Everything in the game (including all textures, 3D-models, effects, sounds and music) was made in 72 hours from scratch.

I couldn't seem to find a battery anywhere, but shooting mechanics with the gravity are crazy cool. Good job!

Well-developed concept, felt polished and the gameplay was fun, though slightly repetitive after a fair chunk of play. The only major annoyance I found was the smaller spider's attack movements chaining on the player infinitely, being virtually impossible to escape, but that could be managed, and turned the game into more of a challenge avoiding the small spiders. Love the models, really good game.

Pretty cool! Definitely liked the day/night changes when you went around the planet.

in my head : Hell Yeah I found da battery wait... where is da ship ? The planet is this big and somehow I'm still lost oh damn those spiders are chasing me too!!!
after play for a while I just take the benefit of shooting mechanics (it's pretty cool) by keep shooting at the ship to find my way back lol

@pisito thank you for the feedback :) I also think it's a problem, that the antenna is sometimes hard to find. Someday we may add an indicator which points at the ship all the time or something like that :D

Pretty nice game. I like the gameplay, the animations and the music. The intro scene was cool. I also liked the idea of the bullets going around the planet. I somehow managed to lose with the antenna runnign out of power when the timer went to 0. RIP me.

@whitefox Thank you! Well thats pretty bad luck. We should have set the if statement to 0 :D I apologize for that. Glad you liked it nevertheless :D

Very well polished game. I have great time playing it and when you win its very satisfying. Cool graphics, very good music and sound effects, although i think the "ouch" sound effect was a bit loud comparing to the other ones. Very nice game overall, nice job!
Semmlerauthor22 Apr 2020, 16:45
@alkis thank you. I agree with you, that particular sound sucks, we should have removed that sound completely :D

Fun, unconventional interpration, simpel models, no clutter, good stuff. You might squeeze out a bit more graphic wise if you used post processing and the effects of light a bit more. It could lead to a more interesting effect? But well done!

The game was awesome, but I found a issue - If the player has 2+ monitors the cursor doesn't lock and loses focus on the game and causes OS to freeze(I'm with a high end PC). But still, the game is good :D
Semmlerauthor23 Apr 2020, 13:31
@bobost2 thank you for the report. I'll try to fix it :D

A simple and effective design paired with a competent presentation. The intro scene and "voice acting" really stand out.

Bullets looping around the planet is a neat idea. Roboson mostly took damage from those, actually! The planet is just small enough that finding the battery doesn't become all about lucky guessing. Well, the planet could be slightly bigger, if there were landmarks to traverse by.

As others have pointed out, the running and gunning aspect does become somewhat tiring in the end. In a longer session I'd like to see a few other abilities (shield, dodge roll, etc) and more enemy types, which start spawning the longer Roboson dares to disturb the local fauna.

Proper good work!
