Maybe if we could add commands before the robot starts to move it would be more fun.
It is SO hard, though! It would be good if there was a way to pause the game while you queue up your next set of moves because calculating how many steps there are before the next action while entering commands as the robot simultaneously executes commands is super, super difficult.
Of course, it may very well be hard by design and I'm just bad at it! Good job!
It's a bit hard to figure out controls at first. It took me a while and during that time I went off the level. I think wall was missing. IMO it would be much more intuitive to make it turn based, but I guess you can't stop the loop as robot.
Thanks!
It's hard to manage the robot and player must be careful or will make mistakes. Liked it :smile:
Audio is a bit harsh but graphics are nice and dialogue are funny and beep-boopy.
Very well, continue like this.
The sweet robot took only seconds to capture my heart. 😎 I believe you should give it a final polish and then post it to place like itch.to. Here are some suggestions if want to continue developing:
* The robot was sliding over the platform. I had the feeling I didn’t control the robot
* Instead of using a keyboard to set the next commands, you could add mouse interaction where you can click the next commands. This could be more intuitive
* Creating higher resolution of the characters when a dialog is taking place (RPG Style). This would create more emphasis for your robot. You could create then specific emotions when he is talking 🤖
Nice entry, keep up the good work!
Wish I had an active pause button, though)
