Space Robot: The Best Game You Didn't Play

Post by Gizmog »

Bullet Hell. In an OHR Game! That's what we've got right here. RMSephy's Space Robot. Don't let that simple name fool you, this is a balls to the walls plotscript shooter and is a spectacle to behold. You won't believe all the enemies and shots on screen at the same time, and not a hint of slowdown! It's something you simply must see.

The goal is pretty simple: Dodge everything! You can shoot back if you'd like, but it doesn't make much diference to your score. You use your mouse for that, and my hand got tired pretty quick. I also kept clickin off screen and unfocusing the window. Some kind of auto-fire or power-ups would've been cool. The background music is appropriately rocking, though some of the sound effects are a little puny.

Graphics serve their purpose, from bob-ombs to spooky space fish, endless hordes of Space Robots to Maoi Heads, it's all classic shooter fare and fits perfectly. A background other than the basic purple coulda stepped things up a little, and one of those Spoonweaver-style title screens would've knocked it out of the park. The game *does* remember your high score from one playthrough to another, so there is something to play towards.

Absolutely spectacular display of scripting prowess. RMSephy might be the greatest OHRer to ever live. There isn't enough content to make it the kind of game you'd want to play for hours on end, but definitely worth picking up and enjoying. A+

It's hard to take good screenshots when you're fighting for your life.

I am sure that this game would have been quite enjoyable, except you really should have posted a .deb, .app, and even some .dmg file types for people.

Cheez?
