Reviews for Cathode Raybots

[B1KMusic]

The gameplay was good, while a bit laggy. But that's Adobe's fault, not yours.

However, I have to mention the biggest gripe, which is in the UI.

I thought that I was choosing a character, not a game mode. You know, like play as a robot, or play as a human. But apparently human means "Campaign", and robot means "Level Editor". And there are NO labels to indicate this, not even if I hover over the human or robot; I'm just supposed to magically know what it means.

It's pretty and all, but that's mystery meat navigation right there. A UI flaw that should always be avoided, where the developer designs something that is cryptic and/or uses vague images in an artistic way, but the UI suffers, and some to most users won't figure out wtf is going on.

Graphics, programming, sound, and controls were top notch, though.

4/5, -1 star for the Mystery Meat Navigation

TomFulp responds:

There is a line of text along the bottom of the screen when you rollover each character, although it is kinda easy to miss. It does explain the difference, though. Beyond that the UI in general is pretty mysterious, the game could definitely guide people through better than it does. I should still put in some help screens at the least.

Great game, very creative! Love it.
I only recommend something like a search bar and a way to keep people from spamming their bosses.
Even the boss is awesome, they need to let others submit theirs too!
4/5! GREAT GAME!

Good game! though the humans can get a bit more weapons than those "I wish" but that would be a problem since the bosses would have to do more thinking since they will consider other weapons from the humans, also making the boss map is kinda counter intuitive for new comers... But nonetheless its a really good game and highly addicting

love it especially the Raybot editor mode, but there seems to be a bug when i try to record and save the battle pattern.
