Robomaniac
First ever game completed and first ever game jam.
The goal is simple you escape the facility alive.
Controls:
WASD - Movement
Left Click - Fires Laser
Z - Self Destruct (Typically used once nearing death and moving really slow)
All music in this game was made by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio go check out their Youtube channel and other social media.
Theme Interpretation:
When I think of robots I think of them being put "together" and when they are brand new and stuff they are fresh and at peak condition. My game uses Stronger Together in the fact that when your character is fully assembled together in one piece he will move faster and be able to maneuver around enemy fire but as he gets more broken down that speed decreases and it gets to a point where self destructing is probably your best bet. So by staying together you are literally stronger. You could also argue the enemies being packed up and using their unique weaponry and attack style could make them stronger as well. Its a lot easier to die when you have to focus on a smaller robot dog enemy charging at you while also being fired at from the enemies behind it.
Let me know your thoughts on my first game in the comments.

Cool graphics and awesome interpretation for the theme!!
If I may suggest something to improve on in the next iterations, maybe key mapping? I have an azerty keyboard so the wasd controls are really awkward for me. That or using arrows I think!
Good job, though, I'll rate this well :3
I noticed that when some of my family was checking out the game. I completely forgot about arrows ):
However wasd animation works fine glad you enjoyed game never the less.
Thank you very much for playing!
