Murder Drones Virtual Training

Wow, this game is really good; I liked it. Can you do another one? i mean like part 2 or chapter 2 of the game, i really liked this style of the game! please do other game like this!

im stuck on the first level where the drones that stand still and hit me when i get to close any tips

I love this game, I wish there was more Murder Drones games. But, I wasted 6 hours and 620+ deaths on normal to get to the final boss and my progress is just gone. I had to restart. I don't regret anything, but I am sad that I have to replay the game to get there, I'm going to replay it all and maybe give it a try on hard mode. I just wanted to give a review, the game is hard, made me rage, made me lose sleep, and made my X key disappear, but I loved it. Great game, please make more.

(I made an itch.io account just to comment on this and to download the game)

I want a Android port, please

Awesome. I lost plenty of things with my first run being on hard, (braincells, sanity, the ability to feel my fingers, etc.). Because I thought It wouldn't be as hard as it actually was. But do I regret anything? Nope, in the slightest. With my humble 1,648 deaths, 5 hours and 45 minutes, I enjoyed every bit of it. It has a very satisfactory gameplay and platforming in general. Thanks for this game and its MD theme.

(Loved the Supervisor, lmao)

As soon as I started the game, I chose a hard difficulty, without any doubt, without thinking that it would be really difficult.. And, at first, it was like that - until I reached the Prom level. From this moment on, true hell will begin for me. I really wanted to give up the walkthrough, but in the end I managed and passed the level. Then there was the boss level, which turned out to be not a bit easier. As a result, the whole epic cost me 1,209 deaths and 4 hours of my time. I could not complete the escape mission - at the beginning there is a moment with an accurate jump that I cannot master, so my game is over. I can say the following: the game is definitely not for everyone, and judging by the comments, even on normal difficulty, there may be problems with passing. However, the game itself is wonderful and probably one of the best MD-themed games. Although I am not a fan of such genres (like platformers), the idea is interesting as well as its implementation. I want to thank the developers for creating the game and remind you that I spent 4 hours on it, and I don't regret anything.

How do I navigate the menu

(Non-Developer Review)

Lore:
Considering that the dialogues are very simple, I'm curious about what happens to the main character after the ending. The main character is very powerful for surviving those challenges just after "waking up".

Gameplay:
Easy to learn and play.

Graphics:
Easy to my eyes understand through the fast movement and effects. Seems like the future ones will be "smoother" as the characters drawn in the banner, so nice!

Music and Sounds:
I'm very sensitive to sounds. So in many games I get bored with differentes types of effects and music. In this case it wasn't like that. I played comfortably and I also liked the music.

Level design:
HARDCORE! Some levels where very difficult. I also got frustrated sometimes because of dying many times but, man! They are all posible to win. Some levels made my poor short-term memory work xD So I could pass through those Red thorn shooters.

Bugs:
None, in 45 minutes.

i almost completed the game on hard mode, was like 3-2 hits away on the boss, and then the game froze up and gave me: "Error code out of memory" then my computer freaking crashed, guess i took too long?

cool game

I'm copying and pasting this from reddit, where I've posted the same review. 

To begin this review, I'd like to highlight the parts that were phenomenal: The music, sound design, and sprite designs. 

The music was a beautiful 8-bit take on the MD theme, and I would absolutely listen to it for hours on end. 

The same goes for the sound and sprite designs. I loved every bit of the art in the game to pieces, especially your character and the supervisor.

As for the bad parts?

To begin with, there's a picture attached, composed of my final playtime. I started playing this at around 8:45 pm local time, ended up taking until *midnight* to finish. Full concentration, full devotion, no breaks to do anything else. Now, my mental state may have deteriorated as I desperately craved sleep, and my ability to play the game along with it, but I still believe this is... not an ideal playtime on normal mode.

There were 2 things that ended up padding out my death rate and my time. If anyone cares to know, they are as follows:

Difficulty wall #1: Final Boss.

There's not much to say here, outside that it's a skill issue on my part. It was cool, overall. Extra health made it difficult to fight, chainsaw hands are chainsaw hands, etc. etc. My main gripes are as follows: 

# Why do dives do 2 damage when it's damn near impossible to pull them off? The boss is consistently jumping, you can't damage the boss unless it's on the precisely the same y-level as your character, and if you do dive, you're liable to get ganked by the spikes that you lost track of, because everything's an instakill!

# Tracking orbs. Not much to say about this one besides 'ugh. These things.' I wish they disappeared earlier or faster, but you can't have everything 😁.

Overall deaths caused by boss: Approximately 640, from ~550 to 1100 deaths.

Difficulty wall #2: Escape level, redux. 

The final part of the game. Overall deaths caused by this level: Approximately 75, from ~1125 to 1208. This one's a doozy, because of what I feel comfortable calling a bullshit attempt at artificial difficulty. There's already a part that requires incredibly precise inputs way towards the beginning - any progress is locked behind your mastery of a very precise jump - but there's also a dead end that's locked behind a difficult series of jumps and worker k.o.s. You are quite literally forced to redo the end part of the level multiple times, due to an unlabeled dead end that is impossible to recognize as one, all if you take the wrong turn a single time. It took at least 50 deaths for me to finally learn why I was consistently dying at the entrance of the dead-end corridor (an inconveniently placed death block right behind a crowbar drone, hard to notice unless you're specifically looking for it [before you say skill issue, I was under a hard time crunch because of the nature of the level, still moderately pissed off from my ~500 deaths from the bossfight, and frustrated from all the deaths to the extremely difficult jump at the beginning of the level- not to mention that there was a Doll that I had to knock out to even reach the narrow corridor, adding to the need for speed].) That dead end should be removed entirely, imho. Words can't express the sheer and utter frustration and antipathy that consumed as I realized that what I had spent ~45 minutes on wasn't even the end objective. The real ending? An even longer sequence involving extremely precise parkour which was actually pretty fun, all things considered. I didn't have any really unfair deaths there, so there's not really any complaint from me about that, other than that I really wish there was a checkpoint after the dropper/jump part.

Random notes/thoughts on game mechanics:

Doll is incredibly annoying in the prom level. She's got nigh-on infinite sight, meaning knives appearing out of nowhere, necessitating incredible reflexes or a respawn. Flip a coin, that'll be the outcome whenever an offscreen Doll throws her knives. I eventually beat the level with what felt like an incredibly cheesy method, involving dashing past literally all the enemies just to arrive at the stage where they respawn, then doing the level in reverse. Not the most satisfying play, especially when doing the level left to right spawns a giant honkin' wall of Dolls that's impossible to get through. A simple reduction in view distance for Doll would work wonders for making the prom level far less annoying, especially given the fixed spawn location and instant respawns of Dolls.

It's cathartic to slaughter the mundane worker drones. I'd go so far as to say that this was the sole reason I was able to continue for so long. :D

Flight is a bit unintuitive, but overall fun. Takes a while to get used to, but thems the breaks.

Overall review: 

9/10, with everything considered. It's the kind of thing you'll love, assuming you like this kind of thing. Would probably recommend if you have an entire free day, nothing else to do, and enjoy platformers. Music was incredible, characters were fun, and as frustrating as it got, there were a few gems in the game that make it worth playing - there was one level devoted solely to killing Dolls, and it was so much fun. I've completely ignored the lore in this post, but hell, I'd say it's worth playing for the lore. A very fun game with (unfortunately) very little replayability for me. Just make sure you don't start playing it at night to relax after a long day at school. Empirical evidence suggests it's not the best at that. Congratulation is in order for the devs, who clearly slaved over the game and made an incredibly captivating experience. The passion and love put into the game absolutely shines through all the frustration it caused, and I'm all for it. All the devs should be commended: from their itch.io page where the game can be played, congratulations to Autopawn, Remi Mixer, Crjönch, Miszuk, and Marshimiiu.

I am aware of a hardmode, to which I respond: No. 

Great Game
