Toy Robo is my entry for the 4E4 contest. [EDIT 10-30-05] I've uploaded my final version to gamedev.net and also made it public. Here's a link for anyone who wants to give it a spin: Install Toy Robo Thanks to everyone who tested it and gave me feedback. [/EDIT] I would like your help in doing a basic functionality test. In return, I offer the first [EDIT]52 billion[/EDIT] people that help me out a spot in the credits of my game :) Please: -Download and run the setup file. -Download and run the latest directx runtime install if you do not already have it. -Play the game. -Let me know any problems you run into, and the performance you are getting, along with system specs. Only the first level of the game is active, it should only take you at maximum 15 minutes to play through. If you don't want to play through it all thats okay, I am really just concerned with installing and running it. Screenshots: Thank you to anyone that has time to test it out. If you tested the game and would like to be featured in the credits, please supply me with the name (maximum 24 characters) you wish to be known as. ~Ray EDIT: I'll have a new version up later tonight, and I'll reply to everyone else that has replied to this thread. But I just wanted to post the Debug build information real quick. To get the mose useful trace information, you most use the debug build. There is a shortcut for the debug build in the start menu folder. The debug build requires the debug runtime of directx - if you don't have it, and don't want to get it, I won't hold anything against you ;) I'm currently working on fixing some issues brought up in this thread, and making some other changes that I think everyone will enjoy. Thank you again to anyone who has tested or will test the game. EDIT 10-28-05: I have uploaded a new build and changed the original link to reflect the new version (v0.33) Fixes: Improved Anti Alias support checking. Improved Graphics Error Handling/Reporting. Detailed Trace Enabled to better track problems. Numerous bug fixes. Added d3dx9_25.dll to the install file. Changes: New Mission layout - multiple rounds per level. Tutorial Level Added. Various gameplay parameters tweaked/altered. Default camera height adjusted. --- The new levels are somewhat in a state of flux right now as I finish transitioning them all to the new mission scheme. I would appreciate general feedback though on their difficulty on playability, even in their early stage. I changed alot of things in this build to make the game more fun at an earlier state. The only thing I'm really afraid of is that I might have made it too difficult at the same time, but It's hard for me to tell, so thats why I could really use some tester feedback on the new levels. I have not made any substantial changes to the camera controls, and here is why: The player is not supposed to need to use them. I think many of you saw them displayed in the previous intro screen and assumed they were an integral part of gameplay, but they are not supposed to be. I have changed the default camera height to give the player a larger view of her surroundings, and removing the camera controls from the tutorial loading screen - In the hope that fresh players will pick up the game, start playing, and never feel the need to move the camera. If this doesn't sound like a good solution to any of you, let me know, and I will take them out all together and automate the placement and rotation of the camera on a level by level basis. Other then that, Thanks to everybody that has replied thus far and you should now see your user names in the credits of my game :) Let me know if you would like to change anything, or be removed.

Is it worth it to go back and try to get through the final wave? I'm thinking about trying to beat it.

Difficulty - Hard to say, but it is definitely a good challenge. Maybe would have liked a continue or more lives, but a challenge is good.

You get to see the credits.... AND tell all your friends that you beat Toy Robo on Hard mode!

Bragging rights are your reward... ;)
