Hi, if you got the blue error screen, it contains an error message that will help me track down why. (clicking the error message will copy it to your clipboard). You can send it to my email (also contained on the error screen) or post it here (just don't include the email in plaintext so it doesn't get scraped by bots)
Do you also make a game Robo force that is free by html5 and inspired by this? I ay team up without dicord. (dont you make me summon a gaster blaster on you d)
I have an issue with the controls. When moving and start shooting I can keep moving in the same direction but if I change direction while still shooting the character gets stuck until I stop shooting.
This issue actually happens anytime when you run the game on Mac OS. It seems to be an issue with key events not working while the "Control" key is held down on Mac OS. (Thus this will only happen when playing with keyboard only, and not when playing with mouse or gamepad.)
To solve this you can rebind the shoot action to a key other than "Control" in the options.
Hey, I tried running the demo on Mac and for some strange reason my mac seems to think that it's some kind of malware. I scanned it with an anti-virus but it doesn't appear to have any sort of virus on it. However it did end up crashing on me and I was forced to abort the game. What's going on with this?
As of now I'm using Catalina 10.15.7. I don't know if newer OS systems are able to run it but at the same time I would rather ask if that is the case in this particular situation
Here is a screenshot of the error I got when it crashed.
Thanks to your error message I found out that the game does not run when launching it by double clicking it in Finder.
However the game will work when you download and run it via the Itch App.
(Or alternatively by running the launcher that's inside the app bundle "RotoForce_demo.app/Contents/MacOS/rotoforce-launcher" directly, for the tech savvy)
Yep, games on Mac has to be notarized or they won’t load, most of the indie devs don’t do the notarization of their Mac build and therefore they don’t work.
What works for me is to download the Win version and open it using Wine. It works in this demo also.
I can reproduce this issue on the web version so I guess that's what you are playing. Reloading the page should fix it, or try downloading the desktop version.
really fun and frenetic. Under the minimal simple design there is a lot of charm, cool animations and juice. Loved the cool details like the enemy briefings.

THIS THING IS SO FREAKING COOL
I was just playing the first level and at one point some bird stole me and my game crashed...

So I finally got around to trying this out and I gotta say, I really love the fast paced action in this.
Eventually I'm gonna have to get the full version because this truly is a badass game.
I have the demo on the play store, and it's super fun!
I'll definitely buy the full version when I get commissions again!
very fun. I like it.
it's as fun as it looks
The most juicy game I have seen later :)

Mac OS running Win version over Wine

I know that Mac will warn you because it's not notarized.
I'm very interested in the crash though, did you get any error message? What MacOS version are you running and what Mac do you have?

Thank you for this!

Interesting, well that's good to know and I very much appreciate you looking into this. Thanks!

the games are great but lmb is shoot-and-dash for me so when I try to shoot it also makes me dash making it really hard to play and get kills reliably
