The *idea* fits the theme, the controls are fine, the laser is well implemented, the visuals are ok (simple 3D models always work when it comes to graphics) and the audio is passable (even if some sounds are too quiet).\n\nThen to the negatives. The *mechanics* don't fit the theme! \n\nBatteries affect the maximum energy count and energy recharges over time. Further more there is, nearly, always a battery right next to a location where a battery is need. Put together, these details mean that it is possible to complete the level with nothing but a single battery in store. No need to sacrifice anything!\n\nIn my opinion a sacrifice need to be a choice, it needs to consume something, and the outcome of the sacrifice has be somewhat risky or in doubt. Without choice the action is mandatory, not worth worrying about; without losing something the action is a gain, always worth taking; and without risk or doubt the action is a trade.\n\nIn this case there is no choice, as there is only a single path towards the exit; nothing is lost forever as energy recharges automatically; and there is little risk as there are, nearly, always more batteries to pick up right next to the obstacles.\n\nHere's what I would change:  \n- No automatic energy recharge\n- Batteries recharge the energy tank once energy runs out\n- If the robot has no batteries when energy runs out, then the player has lost\n- No extra batteries apart from the first room. Some energy recharge pads in places, why not?\n- Multiple (at least two) paths to choose from at any given time. Maybe even multiple exits? \n- Some way to gauge which paths are higher risk, but shorter; in comparison to low risk and longer paths (higher energy drain).\n\nUsing batteries to destroy enemies and to remove walls (unlocking new paths) would be a sacrifice, if the robot's energy reserve depended on it.\n\nGood idea, adequate graphics, the design needs work.\n\nOverall: *Average (3.0)*  \nFun: *Above average (3.5)*  \nInnovation: *Below average (2.5)*  \nTheme: *Terrible (1.5)*  \nGraphics: *Above average (3.5)*  \nAudio: *Average (3.0)*  \nHumor: *N\/A*  \nMood: *Above average (3.5)*  ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rumor","author_uid":"1105232","time":"2018-12-08T20:24:45Z","epoch":1544300685,"modified":1544300718,"text":"Impressively complete for a compo entry! Nice graphics and decent sound. The mechanic of sacrificing my battery is *clever*, but unfortunately running out of juice just isn't very fun. Scrap or lessen the charge cost to move (cost for lasers is fine). I wish the batteries had some indication of their blast radius before I shoot them. Blew myself up more than once. But I think you did good job across the board, and great on graphics, innovation and theme.
