Destroy all Meatbags (game)

interested in knowing...
did it run ok?
how many times did you die on each lvl?
what stats did you lvl up?
was the hud/gui self explanatory

Snipers too OP pls nerf I had to say something

Well its pretty easy so far. The robots we reprogram should do something for the player, like fighting!? If it is possible you could make them into foes, instead of just neutral npcs, and when you knocked them out, use the resources to reprogram and upgrade the bots going from melee attacks to ranged ones. Since they are in a residential area and they dont seem to be war/military bots, make them only able to melee attack at first, higher levels maybe introduce some military bots, which fire range attacks. Anyway congratulations in making a game.

next time i do this ill make sure to add a better game in the give. everybody and their mother has the Ukraine bundle. i just noticed how few entry's the gives have next to the number of downloads of the game.

So just played it. Was a little confused what the currency was at first only until I beat the first level. I put points in speed and turn speed because the game just felt too slow to me. When playing the first level I thought at first I had to complete all things, but once I realized I didn't have to, it was both easier and faster to just avoid combat and get to the end.

Because of the slow movement you start with in the first level, the best strategy I found was just to get my PP up, let police come to me and hold down shield while stationary. Because I leveled up speed in second level, circling around the enemies also seemed to work.

Everything is kind of small (especially the drops on death) do id make those a bit larger I think.

The citizens that run away always seem to run away to the exact same place, which got a little dull after a couple of tries on the first level.

I did quite like the destructive environment and especially the blood trail when driving over a dead enemy.

I suck at this game, I played for 10 minutes, the slow rotation on the sentient was a downer for me but I just read here you can upgrade. Need more time on It to give real feedback. I like the humour 😁. "Let's get shit faced" 😂.

ran fine but i'm kinda shit at it. i found the npc dialog to be pretty humorous. the tank seemed a bit slow, especially the turning. still way better than i could do. keep at it and you'll have a genuinely fun little game.

bump for final update. i will be moving on to a new project. but this didnt turn out to bad for 25 days part time work from mostly the ground up.

bump

i was stuck on the helicopter boss since it was bugged and i'm too lazy to restart the game from the beginning, so here's some feedback:

• the lack of sound is too distressing for me.
• i found it weird that reprogrammed robots only stay in place and didnt help me to kill the police after a while.
• both walking and rotating speed is very slow. i am too lazy to avoid police's shot because of this.
• i like the civilians' comments whenever they are running away from the bots.
• it's strange that you need to check the tutorial to play before playing, but it is placed in the menu. Some people might just start the game without checking the tutorial and stuck on the level.
• sprinting is too slow and use too much pp.
• the cutscene when you start the game is too slow. i'm not sure if there is another dialogue after that "bob we finally made it" text, but i accidentally pressed space since i thought it was done to progress the dialogue.

some longer feedback
i died quite a lot at the beginning since i didn't know what to do with the shield. snipers also damaged too much in the second level so i had to tinker around and increase max pp (was increasing my movement speed before, but the speed was still too slow for me). i dont like moving around my bot to avoid the bullets since 1) i'm suck at aiming while moving, 2) the bot is hard to move with the rotating control, 3) the bot's walking speed is too slow. the area is also too big so i was more annoyed with the slow walking speed.

the helicopter boss was too much for me though. i think their shot pierce through my shield, which is weird since the shield is made exactly for that - tanking damage. and again, the boss' walking speed is too slow, so i'm too lazy to move. after i realized that i had no choice but to move, i pumped all of my stats in the movement speed, but the game got bugged: i couldn't hit the boss, the boss won't move and hit me aside from the first missile. i can't go to the level exit either since 2 police cars blocked it. restarting the level doesn't fix it. i'm too lazy to restart from the beginning (especially with the slow walking speed), so i'll stop playing for now.

on the plus side, i like that you can reorganize your points if you die.

bug (aside from the helicopter boss):

• i didn't know that robots can die before you reprogram it. it annoys me since i can't pick up the health drop.
• crash in the tutorial when reformatting the bots

Patience finally overcame the difficulty. Nice way to give the links. And thanks for the GAs.
