But it was missing a way to exit the game and you can move faster by moving diagonally.
Thanks!
The only complaint is that it feels pretty slow - The robot takes a long time to move and I can't go far before I have to go back home. I got bored after a while, but I enjoyed the time I played.
Also, it would be nice if the UI showed the battery as remaining ammo - I know they're the same, but it's hard to see "49%" and think instantly "I have 4 shots left + 9% battery". Users can't read, Joel Spolsky said so.
I would more often than not forget to look at the battery and shoot myself to death! Finding energy on the field or even more batteries would have increased the tension. Cor, energy pickup! Do I dare to venture further right away? Taking risks is interesting, you see.
The effects are very nice. Controlling a battery powered cake was also quite amusing.
Well made entry in all.
