Lost Robots by stromchin

[raw]
made by stromchin for LD28 (JAM)
The game is COMPLETELY UNFINISHED, but I think it's still fun. I didn't have time to work much on it.
Start Server to play locally (people can join)
or click "refresh hosts" to try to join other people (it doesn't work all the time, sorry).
This is what I would call a pre-alpha.

Features:
Multiplayer time waster
You can knock things over
You can jump using the ramp (sometimes it doesn't work)
Move with WASD keys
Press R to reset position.
No music controls yet sorry

Quite fun to mess around in, I got stuck in a corner though!

This was a pretty good time waster. I'd honestly love to see you turn it into a multiplayer online death-match type of game. Good job on the netcoding and physics!

Nice! Can't really see the point, or the theme, but I love the graphics and sound. Spent a few minutes just driving around knocking down trees :)

@jsjwooowooo, press R to get unstuck!
@ yapshuter63, yes, there is no point yet. I was just wasting time making the map, and then only had time to do simple physics.
thank you for your comments everyone.
Yes, also forgot that the theme is kind of... not there. Sorry.
You only get to control one guy though, it was supposed to be some sort of colony manager... and you're just one guy.
It's a stretch though, so you can rate me with minimum stars in the "theme" category :)

the weirdness and quirkiness of the whole thing makes it really funny.

Jumping the ramp was fun and worked every time for me. Knocking trees was great, I tried to get them to flip on their heads. Add more "stuff" and it could be excellent.

Nice atmosphere. Could turn into some sort of isometric multiplayer mario kart.

Even if the theme is not in this game, it's a really good way to waste some time. I really like to knock down the trees :D

Unfinished, but quite nice. Enjoyed knocking over some of those trees :D Keep it up!

I wish I could get into servers and try it out with others. But still, I loved the concept when I saw this as a journal entry and playing it is pretty cool. Turning feels a bit too heavy, but you nailed the floatyness of the jumps. Great entry!

Very fun for something without much going on, feels and looks really nice!

Very interesting idea! It seems like a pretty solid foundation for you to build something really cool. Nice work!

Yeah fun to mess around, if only there were more players. you could have made the trees enemies or something? nice one anyway.

I dislike the Autotracker-generated music, but boy is it fun to drive that little robot around and cut down trees.

Very pretty! Was fun running some trees down. Would love to see more game here as there's just not much to it at the moment. A nice starting point, perhaps.

I really loved the graphic style.

I really hope you put more stuff going on or make a similar game.

Zipping around is pretty fun! I could see a sweet racing game coming out of something like this.

I still like the art style a lot. The prettiest isometric block games i've seen this LD ;)

I like the graphic style, multiplayer is also cool. Sad thing you had no time to finish it. Good luck in the next LD!

It's fun to play around. Hopefully you'll finish it someday as it's a nice, promising start.

I kinda liked the perspective view... Looked good...
The graphics are rather catchy, for how simple they are... I think it was because of the green grid...
