Roguebots by TijmenTio
Roguebots is a narrative roguelike about robots that grow consciousness.
Control with mouse (left/right button).
There are 5 levels.
It may be a bit hard! So good luck!
//Update
Apparently there was a bug resulting in not being able to get past level 2
//Update 2
Finally fixed the camera going all apeshit sometimes!
///IMPORTANT///
If you get a d3dxcompile error you need to download
a newer directx. Here's a download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35

Please fix this ^^
Best narrative roguelike I played today.
sick fake 3d! really difficult though :( got to level 4 once but then there was this big fucking robot i couldn't kill :(
I was confused at first on how to open the guard seals, and I had to back out of the game to find you had to use the mouse, it'd be nice to have had an explanation, but otherwise it was cool.
In terms of the gameplay, this is a really good basis. It'd be nice to have more robot types like.. ones that can float above pits and shit like that to solve puzzles. I found the purple bots completely useless, as it was easier to just warp into all the guard bots (and warp into grey bots in between) until all of the bots were gone. It changed up when there was a power bot but I just stayed out of its range and fired rockets.
The ending as well, is there an alternative ending? It would've been nice if so. I felt like that guy was the antagonist, so my immediately response to him saying "hey he can end it now" was to put the pin into "restart" and restart the level, which meant I had to watch the cutscene again. It'd be nice to be able to defy the machine, portal style.
But yeah, I think you have a really good basis for a game here, it looks fucking awesome. Music is awesome too. My favourite game so far.
Nice one.
Well played.
The camera tho... oh the camera. The world is still spinning after playing the game for a while. :D
Impressing stuff!
