Hi there! 

Sent you a mail couple of weeks ago, please make sure it didn't end up in your spam folder :) would love to help!

Hi! 

Definitely sounds like a pretty annoying problem but I think your old instructions should still be safe. 

Since the Levels haven't changed between 1.1 and 1.1.1 you should be able to simply replace the .xml files.
You can find the new levels at
"C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Temp\.net\BotsAreStupid\[RandomID]\Content\Levels\". Just delete those and replace them with the ones from the stable folder. 

This should do it, please let me know if it worked!

Will definitely look into an alternative way of saving instructions for the next update to fix this.

Thanks for letting me know =)

Thank you kind sir!

You can actually skip the tutorial by pressing "Clear Instructions" in the pause menu but I'll have to add a more obvious alternative. 

Glad you enjoyed!
Not sure what to do about the orb, since it's already been sped up a lot in the last patch. It's probably going to stay like that for the time being though. :)

Yoo!

Presenting my game "Bots Are Stupid", an ultra-precise grappling-hook Platformer, in which you control robots by writing simple commands:

Haven't posted here yet but announced the game on reddit a couple months ago and got some really nice feedback. Now just found the time to give it a bit more love and finally push another update.

I started the project as an Assignment during my first year of University and really enjoyed working on it since then. Would love to put the game on steam at some point in the future.

It features 12 Levels, a Level Editor, an online Leaderboard, lots of particles and most importantly: an infinite supply of robots, which can be precisely controlled by writing easy to understand instructions. The grappling hook, speed boosters, conveyor belts and deadly spikes in combination with extremely accurate controls make a fast and challenging speedrunning game.

Successful scripts are uploaded to a global database and can be rewatched on the leaderboard. This results in a sense of competitiveness among players and incentivizes them to find optimal solutions for each Level, or at least try to beat the average scores. 

After the initial release 4 months ago, I really enjoyed watching all the scripts of other players. Awesome new tricks were discovered and all of my personal highscores were quickly broken. But now I'm very excited to see some new scripts after this update with new features and levels!

So check it out, it's FREE:

Feedback is highly appreciated btw! =)

Thanks for the feedback! :)
I'm currently working on a better tutorial where features and new commands are introduced level by level. 

By level 1, do you mean "Intro" or "Basic"?

Yeah I'll add a build for that. You'll need to tell me if it works though :D

Edit: Was told it crashes instantly, had to remove. 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I will definitely consider some of your suggestions for the next update. Those advanced commands could really be useful =)

The easiest way to send feedback is probably using the dedicated button in the credits menu in-game. 

Hey just saw you played my game already and realised I forgot to comment here =)

But yeah thanks a lot for this awesome free tileset, really love the cute style and colors! Keep being awesome!
