Toy Factory by Xeke_Death

[raw]
made by Xeke_Death for LD34 (COMPO)
You are the factory worker in charge of assembling Angry Robot toys...
Your job consists of pressing 2 buttons, one to choose the part to dispense, and one to dispense it... To make your job more interesting, Management have rigged the machine to only cycle through one way, and not be automated at all...

Watch the Angry Robots grow in front of you, as their army grows in the shadows (of which I have none, because this factory is lit from EVERY direction...)

Press M to turn on/off the music...
Press the blue CYCLE button on the right, or the D key, to cycle through the parts to dispense...
Press the green DISPENSE button on the left, or the SPACE BAR, to dispense a part...

If you complete 5 toys in a row, you get a new life. You can only have 5 lives at a time. I didn't get time to implement bonus multipliers for combos or full lives...

You score more points by landing the pieces close to the middle of the base plate, not the previously placed piece... I wanted to change this, but time ran out...

No scoreboard was implemented, because time...

It starts with a few misaligned robots, and soon the world will be ruled by crazy robots.

It's fun to play especially when you try to align them perfectly. Was so close getting one perfect once and then misaligned the antennas heh.

Nice game. The idea is cool but it can get a bit boring fast.. maybe a way to get the game frash fast.

Loved the sfx though!

It's decent, and the idea is good, but the game is boring after just a few shipped robots.

I like the game, but here's a suggestion for an improvement. If you screw up a robot (like say the first piece), there should be a button or something you could do to speed up the conveyer belt, because it's just too slow by then. If you put that in, it would be perfect, but still very good either way!

Haaaah, neat! I agree with the comment about being able to speed the conveyor belt up, but I know the theme was two buttons, and the way this is configured that would be a hard thing to implement.

Possibly instead of having two hard buttons on the screen having just two keys configured and each one being pressed separately dispenses and toggles, but having them pressed together speeds up the conveyor belt, other than that, neat game.

Love the beat box sound effects, good job on those.

Great execution on the theme, loving the graphics too, speed up would be nice, but not a game breaker, nice job overall!

Good idea, implemented well. Some physics so the robot towers could fall over might have been fun

The game idea is cool but unfortunately, it gets a bit boring after some robots... I could nearly play this forever, but I had to quit.
A suggestion: speed up the game every time after 3 builded robots. It will lead to an end very soon ;-)
Anyway, I had fun, well done!

That was fun, love how my robots came out kinda messed up :) would love to see components switching automatically so you can build different thing, will game the game some more challange after a while..music is very nice and has nice factory/construction feel to it..music could be louder, balanced with soundfx..nice entry

Innovative concept of the theme. I liked the idea to build robots, it was nice. And the sounds were really funny haha. I think the game is to slow. Nice game!
