Reviews for M-Bot The Game

[Rucklo]

hell yeah, about time this got done!

i honestly thought you had abandoned this project as I've heard nothing about it since modmeet 2008.

First off, holy shit this game looks fucking AMAZING! the background, everything is just so damn slick...
Even so, it did almost freeze my computer up a bit. I don't have a very new comp, but that's nothing a q-button can't take care off... assuming you'd be willing to let players play with lower qual... thinking of the amazing artwork, i know i'd think twice before adding such a feature :D

The music suits really good, i love the changing of loops as you upgrade, brings a whole new "level" to the game. I only managed to get 3 grades, because i sucked at the game + my comp is slow, so maybe this suggestions is already in game, but something i missed: have some kind of filter added with the combo, just a small touch - it'd go great with the loops in the background changing as one level.

Gameplay was kindof difficult, at least for me with my shitty comp. more than once i managed to click somewhere outside the game-screen, even if i tried to focus on the red arrow and let it guide me. another thing that brought it down slightly was the repetition. when i got to the walls, i thought they'd never end. fact is my comp pretty much froze there, so i didn't even advance beyond that, yet anyways.
I learned that holding down the attack-key wasn't a good idea with a shitty comp, constant clicking apparently is smoother for the gameplay.

The theme is fucking badass, the environment is badass, the music is badass
All in all, fucking amazing job MC, congrats for pushing out a completley badass game!

MindChamber responds:

thanks for the props. sorry about the hiccups. definitely lower your screen resolution and try again, that helped with rumble.

Ill ask frosted to add a Quality button, but I really doubt it would help since nothing here is vector I dont think it would run much faster. but well look in to it.

and great idea about the filter with the combo, definitely will have to try that on the next game..
thanks again.

Looks awesome, but fails in many problems

If you choose the mouse control, you are doomed. You can't change it on the pause menu, and that was very disappointing.
The final boss "press the button" part was awesome, as well the 3d effects.
But if you die in the boss, there is "try again", but you start with zero health! Good thing, that the boss as well have low health, but it is so frustrating to start all over every hit.
If this wouldn't be so hard game, it could be very entertaining.
I prefer games which is fun to play, not games which are challenging to complete.

MindChamber responds:

some people think challenging games are fun.. ah well.

nice

This game is seriously sweet. The graphics look amazing, the animations and arts are impressive. The gampeplay was fun but still there are some things I don´t like.
For example when I fought the collab boss I had serious problems hitting these blades he is throwing. You have to be standing at the exact correct spot and it´s not easy to see where that is.
Also I think this game would be easier to play with the arrow keys. Once by accident I clicked on the advertisement link below the flash submission.

And why are you losing points? I mean it is really frustrating to see your score going down all the time.

So good game but it has a few little problems.

MindChamber responds:

there are keyboard control options. It wouldve been nice if you check for that before reviewing :(

also theres a giant target that lights up under Collab when you are on his line of sight.

Interesting...

Like everyone else said, Great graphics.

But bad control. It's way too easy to move the mouse off the thin stage and not know it until you want to fire or move and end screwing everything up. In an action game like this, where precision and timing are necessary to get a good score, that's unacceptable. Perhaps keyboard controlling movement too?

Completing the game wasn't too hard, but the difficulty comes from trying to get a high score. I like that sort of acheivement based difficulty. But unless the controls problems are addressed, I won't try to get the rest of the achievements because it would be too frustrating.

Otherwise, I voted 4 for the amount of work you obviously put into the graphics and animation. I actually don't mind the file size, and I have a good computer, so no framerate issues, so I wouldn't say you should never do it again.
