Hahaha, had to look up "appalling".. it's funny how similar words can mean the complete opposite.

@Ben:

Really cute game. Haven't finished it yet but I like it very much. I think the small palette and the color choice really match the theme/environment. And the animation are very smooth. Well done.

Brilliant. All I got to say really. Well I could really expand on that.

Lovely spritework. Lovely story. Lovely all round really. Only thing it's missing is voices. :p But that's not a biggie.

Playing multiple times has its (dis)advantages: found another minor thingie....

Just finished it. Really cute lil' game.
I love the 6 color palette, it shows how dull robots life is yet the gfx still looks cool.

TheJBurger · « **Reply #28 on:** 25 Jan 2009, 21:01 »

Fun game! Great work on all the animations and character graphics, for some reason I really liked the walk-cycle. It's definitely my favorite game out of your releases thus far.

I think the assassin-bot puzzle was slightly buggy, for instance

And I don't mean to be a bad-sport, but I feel that the story (which was a great idea) could have been executed a bit better, say in terms of the conflict between robot HQ and free-thinking. For example, maybe have robot HQ be more opposing to the "free-thinking" idea early in the story so that it's clear the player is embarking down on a road of rebellion.

Overall, it was really nice! Thanks for making it!

Appealing yes.. Hope Ben won't notice it.

Ultra Magnus · « **Reply #30 on:** 25 Jan 2009, 21:29 »

I found a bug.
First time I played it...

I tried it a few times. Saved, loaded, quit, loaded again, and it still didn't work.
I started again from the beginning, and it worked fine.

Also, I noticed the same Freudian slip at the beginning that Leon did.

Anyway, back to playing the game.

Quick, change it! You don't want Ben to read you post and get upset, do you?

Ultra Magnus · « **Reply #32 on:** 25 Jan 2009, 22:04 »

That was a cool little game. Very cute. Great graphics and sound especially.

your slip be freudian.

but yes, it's a very nice little game.
downloaded it as soon as soon as i got the link and played it right through to completion.
i really like the palette and the way it's used, and the music is pretty fantastic, i'd definitely like to be able to download it.
on the whole it's a nice little game that's not too challenging but also not too easy, i'd like to see more games set in this universe, it plays very much like a teaser, a taste of things to come hopefully

The Franceman · « **Reply #34 on:** 26 Jan 2009, 00:23 »

Very good, I liked it and its graphics. It's too short but nonetheless good, I'm waiting for your next game.

Dualnames: Hilarious typo up there, man

. Sorry the story was so weird, but that's how I write em

. Glad you enjoyed the game otherwise.

Indie: Thanks! I appreciate you playing the game!

Dan!: Hooray!

Matti: Thanks for the nice words! Hope you enjoy finishing the game!

Layabout: Cheers! I appreciate the nice comments about the graphics. I'd love to do a voice acted game one of these days, so hopefully in the future we'll have something in that category as well!

Leon: Oops, I can't believed I missed that! Thanks for the report, I'll make the change (but will hold off uploading for a while in case I get any other bug reports).

ALPHA2T: Thanks, glad the palette worked for you

.

TheJBurger: Thanks for the nice comments about animations and graphics - I appreciate these! Thanks for the bug report, I'll have a look at those regions and see if it can't be tweaked a bit! I agree that the story was a bit underdeveloped, but I still consider writing one of my big weaknesses

. Thanks for the advice, anyhow, and thanks for playing!

UltraMagnus: Grrr, I thought I fixed that bug. I'll see if I can replicate it and figure out what is going wrong

. Thanks for playing and I am glad you enjoyed it!

Boyd: Thanks for the nice words! I won't promise a sequel or a continuation of the game as definite, but I never promise anything

. Glad you enjoyed the game!

The Franceman: I appreciate the nice comments! Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for the next one

.

Once again, thanks to everyone who has played - and especially those of you who have commented. I really appreciate you taking the time to check out our little game!

Looks interesting. downloading now.

dunnoson · « **Reply #37 on:** 26 Jan 2009, 02:45 »

Ok, this game is a short game. I would like to share some thoughts.

Make another game dude!! I liked the outline, the puzzles were kind of easy, but its basically a cool game.

Out of 5 cups, i would give it a 5 cups. Nice game!!

Frodo · « **Reply #38 on:** 26 Jan 2009, 03:29 »

Just finished it. Lovely wee game.

Interesting story, with Annie wanting to be with Mailbot, and not her 'arranged partner', and trying to give Mailbot his free will.

I love the animation - how she walks, and also the way Microphone-bot popped up from the ground (cos he was hiding, hehe). The colour scheme is brilliant, and really works for the game.

I found the assassin bot puzzle a bit tricky, as it was hard to get near to them. I tried to edge closer to them, but she kept walking away, saying that she 'shouldn't get too near to them'.

I would also love to see more of Annie & Mailbot. I have visions of them leading the rebellion of free will, and having many adventures (and facing many enemies) along the way.

Excellent work Ben.

ThreeOhFour · « **Reply #39 on:** 26 Jan 2009, 06:40 »

Dunnoson: Yep, short games is what Ben304 does

. Really glad you liked the game, thanks for your nice words and I hope that there'll be plenty more games from me for you to play in the future

.

Frodo: Thanks for the encouraging words

. I agree the assassinbot puzzle was quite tricky and could have been implemented a bit better than it was, but I am glad you enjoyed the game anyway. Thanks for playing

.

Edit: Crazy I just noticed what it says under your avatar! That cracked me up so much!
