Me and my team made a game, Droid Uprising, and it is nearing completion and is set to be released on the 31st of this month. Can you guys please check it out, Give it some feedback, that kind of thing?

Thank you in advance.

The lines on the buildings in the background, that is because of a graphics card driver issue on my computer, (nvidia, you suck) not the game itself. Players should not see those lines.

Alright so now that I have the time I will clarify some of these issues for you. I will admit that a lot of them are from lack of clarification by me, so I guess that's something I have to fix.

1- When the droid has the gun, you can shoot the horizontal shot with the left click, however it is less powerful. You can also shoot the more powerful diagonal shot by right click.
2- While jumping, you are not able to shoot with the gun and that is intentional, but you can still shoot the diagonal shot described above.
3- What I might do is maybe allow the droid to throw a grenade backwards or something like that, but that might take time.
4- I think what I might do is make the part you can walk through a different color than the rest of the tree, that might fix that.
5- This one is lack of clarification from me. My beta testers, (the other two members of Twin Jaguar Studios) had the same issue and I told them what to do, which is to go right in the middle of the tree, where you are not vulnerable.
6- Keep in mind that the gun allows the player to take damage once before being vulnerable, there are some levels where it would be unbalanced and broken if the player was allowed to have the gun, so this one is intentional. You may not notice this, but the levels with lots of static threats tend to not allow the player to have a gun. If I want the player to be able to have a gun in a level, there will be a gun there.
7- Since there are no physics for the x axis on the player, you can jump over all of them. What you can do is shoot your diagonal shot, kill one of them, and use the gap to make another gap and jump to that gap an so on.
8- Alright you got me there, that is an actual bug that I need to fix.
9- I am still unsure how i would balance the machine gun. That would not be hard to add, but I don't know how to make it balanced.

I can easily change the jump key so it works for space, up and w, and what keys should shoot also work for? I personally prefer shooting with the mouse as I play lots of fps games, so I guess I never considered that.

Thank you for the interest you have in the game, it shows that people are playing it after all. This version is in very early stages, so there are many bugs, but I will work out as many of them as possible.

When I have a tad bit more time later tonight, I will clarify with some of these concerns, but anyways thank you for the feedback. I apologize for so many bugs in the game, I will try to deal with as many of them as possible.

I am constantly being blown away with what this game engine can do.

To all potential players, please provide feedback as it might help me make the game better. Silence doesn't do much for me in terms of player feedback.

I apologize for the large install size, that is an issue I will work out before the next revision.

I apologize I promised a download link by the end of August but I'm running a bit late right now, but I assure you all I am working on it as I type this to polish it a little bit more for you.

Level 4 is almost done, and when it is, There will be a download available to play. Keep in mind, the game is still in its early stages and will not feel finished. This will be a mere glimpse of what Droid Uprising is all about.

I suffered a little setback with this game. I lost about two hours of work because of it. If I had been less experienced than I am, I would have lost more. To all potential indie devs out there, please stay organized and back up your work often, totally worth the extra time it will take.

If you guys like what you see for Droid Uprising, wait 'till you see what I have planned for Droid Uprising 2, its gonna be great.

I plan on having a test version download available by the end of August for everyone interested.
