Hello everybody. Yesterday I realized how fun and under appreciated Ortho Robot is, and I decided hey let's make some custom levels.
Not only is it Maurice's only really original game (let's choose not to count shoot hookers), but it's also a great game with great logic that I find has much potential.
Unlike Mari0, it doesn't really mix puzzle and action, so it's not as easy to get into (except if you count trying to reach time goals to have gold stars, but that's just rape-my-wrist action).
Maurice is going around saying Ortho Robot 2 is in the pipes, with a level editor and whatnot, but I decided the time has come for some custom levels right now.
check out this nice thread to see how levels are made, I'll be happy to give info if you have questions.
The game responds nicely to having levels added, so you just need to add levels from 17.png on. Actually the game responds so well to adding levels that it feels Maurice was expecting someone to do this.
So I'll be trying to make levels, I haven't yet made one whole fun to play level... Still it's fun to get into the logic of the puzzles.
Of course I'll be posting as I add levels.
Do you like this idea and would like to contribute? Please do! I'd be glad to hear comments, and more importantly if you have levels you'd like me to add I'd love to. All you need is the .png and .txt, which I would suggest .zipped, easy to extract into \maps\.
I'll be trying to keep up one .love file containing my slightly modded version of Ortho Robot with only the extra levels as they're added here. (see the kewl "Extra Ortho" title map?). If you just want to download single levels, the links are underneath, on the pictures.
I'll also keep one .zip up containing all the levels, easy to extract into \maps\.
---------------------------------------------------------- Downloads ----------------------------------------------------------
- Extra Ortho.love - Modded version of Ortho Robot containing the extra levels. Just the extra levels. It should be fairly light (about 3.5 MB)
Yeah, some buttons are slightly fucked up. The game still works fine. - Extra Ortho win.zip - archive containing an .exe. Extract this or don't this should work similarly to mari0's windows port. The .love used is the same as above.
This also contains love.exe and dlls, so it should be about 5.2 MB. - Extra Ortho.zip - archive containing the extra levels. Just extract Ortho Robot.love, and extract this into Ortho Robot\maps\
