Description
What is Platcore?! Well Platcore is a platformer/avoid style of gameplay, you play as a Platbot which is a testing robot for Platcore, and Platcore will be using you to test out their newest products, which come in the form of things which aren't exactly your friend (Lasers, turrets, even bigger lasers, and evil things!). You play in a test chamber and your sole aim is to stay alive and survive the testing procedures, remember though, your robot is dispensable so there are MANY robots to play as if yours gets destroyed.
The games soundtrack is synced up to the Platcore AI, so when the soundtrack goes boom, something else is going boom, and it's likely to hit you in the face.
So this has been in development for quite a while in 2011 and has had a crazy rollercoaster ride in the development process as I ended up quitting my job mid-development so I could work full time on what I love; Giving you guys content! And then the sponsorship process was a rollercoaster in itself of a few months negotiating and falling through deals so I'm like extactic to be able to release this. And I hope you like it as much I as did developing it!
If you chose the wrong control scheme, just reload the game and you'll be able to pick it again! :)
Be warned, if you skip through the tutorial - you can't get it back without deleting your save file! So read!
How to Play
Arrow keys to move
Z to Jump
X to Shield
Store your Platbots in the Hall of Fame.
Customise your Platbots in the Lab.
If you're experiencing lag - right click and turn the quality down! This is important as a few people experience lag for a reason unknown to me!
Developer Updates
Version 1.2 โ Hey guys! So taking some feedback on board, Iโve removed the autosave feature that runs every 10 seconds as some players have complained this causes lag. Let me know how itโs going on version 1.2!

You're on to something really crazy here!
- Wall hanging - double jump - slams (which go boom) - ceiling grapple (electric roof counters) - robots (with crappy AI) that enter the arena with you and die off pretty early just to emphasise on the danger your dealing with.
Maybe an observatory window on the background where robots from the half of fame sit and observe you (maybe even animate them to clap, or laugh, or bang their heads together when everything starts falling apart).
Things that seem unnecessary would give that sense of depth.

In Firefox/windows it lags badly enough to be unplayable. Chrome/windows no problems.

Could you try setting storage to unlimited in Firefox? That's looking to be the problem.

As cool as it looks and sounds, it ends up just being another avoider and couldn't hold my interest. What's the point of cogs and experience? Have upgrades! Double jump, health regen, that sort of thing. It'd give me some motivation to keep one alive and get cogs.

Well I was rooting for you after I read your description, and enjoyed it for the first 10 minutes, but this game is nothing but a tease of what could have been. Sorry if that's harsh, but that is how I felt. First it seems there is nothing more to cogs than using it to customize your bot to look how you want it. Also experience is just something to see how high of a level you can get and considering you are only competing vs yourself in the hall of fame, it doesn't provide much incentive. Really in my opinion had you added a wide variety of upgrades with leveling up and and a way to compare your bots with others, this game may have been a hit, but as it stands it falls in the mediocre category, being nothing more than an avoid and dress me up game. With that said I'm extremely dissapointed with it especially after reading your description.
Thanks for the in depth response. Yeah I know how you feel, it's a project that just dragged out and took forever so we really had to release it as it was without tailoring it anymore. It's been a tough ride with it! But thanks.

I'm loving the soundtrack being linked to the AI, that's a really nice touch
I found I died to the ceiling crushers a lot, my eyes were so drawn to the bottom of the screen I didn't see the warnings coming from the top :(
Yeah those stompers are evil! ;)
