Hi Dewin,
Appreciate your game a lot...It's much fun to run it in the background while pretending to work.
I don't really have features you could add. But I observed something peculiar: I think Elio changes his behavior when the speed button is activated. In normal speed he does not jump that often into the exit in the setup hjvrgamer proposed 2 months ago (he changes directions more often in speed mode).
Also I would appreciate some explanation to the blocks/robot behavior. Its still a mystery to me what some things do/can do.
Hi!
Thank you for this feedback and the nice review :p it means a lot.
I agree, Über and Elio physics are affected by the speedUp button, and it was part of many strats when I launched the game in August.
It seems to be bothering a few people though, so I am currently reworking them to be slightly more balanced during the SpeedUp. Will probably roll out the update soon-ish.
For the blocks/robot behaviour, I have begun to write a Starter guide, but as it is not yet finished or available online, here is a quick excerpt that I hope will help :)
The blocks:
Start: Assembles 1 Roboto every 3 seconds. Bouncing on it has no effect.
End: Stores the scrap metal collected by Roboto when they enter it.
Basic: Gives 1 scrap of metal when bounced on, doesn’t change Roboto’s behaviour.
Jump: Contains 3 scraps of metal, makes Roboto jump.
Battery: Stores energy when touched. When full, the energy is released if Roboto bounces on it. Add a multiplier to the scrap metal collected. Cumulative for some robots.
Wall: Has a HP gauge and is breakable. It contains as many scrap metal as its HP. The HP regenerates over time.
Incremental: Increases its own value when touched. When Roboto bounces on it, its multiplier increases with the block’s. Cumulative.
Random: Can have a variety of effect, from changing Roboto’s direction to changing its size, or even affect gravity.
For the robots behaviours, I tried to make it as intuitive as possible in-game, and figuring them out is part of the gameplay ^^".
Here is to nudge you in the right direction: Über is heavy, Elio has wings, Cyber goes fast... etc
Have fun, and keep watching the page for future updates!
