Super Steve by Almax27

[raw]
made by Almax27 for LD28 (JAM)
"You only get one warning". The boss' words ring in your head.

Called into the office for a scolding, Unit 73 finds himself in need of a friend...

-----------

We had a bit of a false start and decided to focus on one polished level rather than rushing content. You only get one level! For now... working on a second :P

-----------

Made by Admiral Fancy Pants
A.K.A: Aaron Baumbach and Luke Blick

-----------

Art:
Hand drawn, scanned, and coloured in Photoshop.

Code:
Unity 4.3s 2D pipeline, C#.

-----------

Lessons learnt:
* It's too easy to waste time on silly little mechanics like wandering bots
* Photoshop's a bitch
* Making sounds in bfxr is awesome fun
* Photoshop's a bitch
* How to make a game 100x more fun: find the right 'pew pew' sound for your gun
* Photoshop's a bitch

Controls:

WSAD - movement
Shift - look around
Space/Left Click - action
Escape - skip dialogue thread / abort hack

Thanks! We had all the assets for another level, but wanted to try and polish what we had instead of cramming in content :D

The boss was going to explode, that's why he moves after you visit the server room, but alas.

Just uploading the source now ;)

Gg for the arts and the mood ! I would have liked more gameplay with it, but at least it feels clean !

I feel so sad that I couldn't kill the boss !

Nice game you got here. To bad it is short. I would loved it more if I could kill the boss.

Beautiful artwork. Feel like the bots could have died in a more glamourous way than vanisning.
It's obvious that this is unfinished, but I would love to play a more complete version :)

I really enjoy the plot. Steeve's reactions are fun, and the final drawing just give me the will to play to its adventures as a free robot.

Got stuck after the thief escaped and the guards were called... And I really wanted to start shooting after reading about your "pew pew" sound :)))
Anyway, nice graphics and humor! Good job!

Interesting, but it doesn't exactly have gameplay though.

Nice game! But too short! And I don't have a QWERTY keyboard. :(

I would really like to see a Post-Compo continuing with the story. Overall, this was really fun and entertaining. It was really polished. Great job!

Great graphics and sound. Was a little short, but not surprising considering the time restraint. Good work.

@Beno卯t Freslon - I'll add arrow key support in the upcoming 'post' version, thanks for the heads up :D

Great potential, and cool character designs! And yes, I DID try to kill the boss with the gunner robot ^^

This has a lot potential, too bad it's so short...

I'd consider making this a bit bigger game on your place. I like Steve :)

Very short, and I kind of wish there were more of a challenge to it, but all that can be put down to the time limit. The graphics are absolutely brilliant and lovable, five stars on that. The writing is very funny, and Steve is an excellent hero. I like the hacking.

By all means keep making games. This is great.
