Angry Robots! - new game for 68k Macs

[nightingale]

Thanks to everyone who has tested and provided feedback!

Since I had several requests to make this easier to access on real vintage Macs, check out the new old-browser friendly website:

http://legacy.criminalcaterpillar.com

The website includes a download of a .sit file with the demo.

I had forgotten how frustrating it is getting css to work consistently on old browsers... I am using iCab 2.99 on my Mac, and the site looks pretty good! I haven't tried Netscape or IE yet. Much to my surprise, animated gifs actually work.

The website looks pretty silly on modern computers but looks good on lower resolutions. May still tweak a bit.

If you have 3 minutes and 39 seconds, Classic Mac Gaming has just released a video showing more of the gameplay!

Check it out:

Also, the Kickstarter has now launched, if you're interested in getting a physical copy!

Happy to announce that the game is finished, and you can download the shareware version of the game for free today!!

Visit http://legacy.criminalcaterpillar.com to download the game from your 68K or PPC Mac. If you're using a modern computer, head over to https://criminalcaterpillar.com/angryrobots/download/

If you like the game, and you want to purchase the full version, you can unlock the game by purchasing a serial number or you can buy a full boxed copy of the game, complete with floppy disk and colour manual! You will need to use a modern computer to do that, however!

If you like the game, but can't pay for the full version, send me a DM and I'll send you a code.

Excited for people to try out the game and send me your feedback!

Huge thanks to @Crutch and @cheesestraws for helping me out so much when I was just getting started learning the intricacies of programming for 68K macs.

Got through the first 12 levels, but I'm stuck on 13. I can get through all the conveyor belts but bo matter which teleporter I select I end up get killed by a vacuum cleaner. Any suggestions?

Remember that the direction you pass through a teleporter matters -- you will come out the opposite side you go in.

Level 13 is frustrating, I promise there aren't may levels like that!

ORDER PLACED!!!

I have been on a little bit of a hiatus, too many hobbies, not enough time in an day but this will get my Mac's a bit of use.

Cant wait to get my boxed copy!

I loved the DEMO and the kids enjoyed it as well.

Can't wait to see what yo have in store next

Ok, I need some help with level 28 - every floor tile I try to move has a fire under it...

Pay attention to the name of the level - "X Never, ever marks the spot" - are there some blocks in some rooms that don't form an X?

You're doing well!
