From starting it up, no menu speech, alt+tab and exiting it...

So yeah looks to me like something's going on when you don't get speech. I didn't get anything with the output in terminal until I alt tabbed and got the messag about a state change. But curiously...I got the text about tabb/shift+tab regardless

@Nolan,
Stupidity follows:
Something seems not quite right for me in the systems.rs file, however I never worked with RUST, so maybe this is because this language is so different from what I know before. See this snippet:
        for ev in input_events.ev_keyboard_input.iter() {
            if let Some(key) = ev.key_code.and_then(bevy_to_egui_key) {
                let egui_event = egui::Event::Key {
                    key,
                    pressed: match ev.state {
                        ElementState::Pressed => true,
                        ElementState::Released => false,
                    },
                    modifiers,
                };
                focused_input.raw_input.events.push(egui_event);

this game is not possible to play for me, it crashes during game play.
these crashes are ramdom

@JaseK I sense some confusion...

Those situations where you see 5 or 6 exits is a little annoying when you're not used to it. Here are some spoilers which I hope will help you navigate. Note that these are purely from my own experience, so I might not be explaining this the best way but I'll try:
s
p
o
i
l
e
r
So let's start with the basics. Levels are constructed of interconnected rooms that are 20X20 tiles, to my knowledge. Exits can be in the center of either of the 4 walls. So one room can have a maximum of 4 exits from it.

Those situations where you see 5 or 6 exits is the result of your l scan being able to see into adjacent rooms. Any time you see something more than 20 tiles away, it's guaranteed to be in another room, and you can ignore it if it doesn't concern you. On the other hand, hearing about stuff in adjacent rooms does help with planning ahead, so it's something to get used to.

If you want to filter the information to the current room, try to stand in the absolute center of the room, which you can do by taking 10 steps after going through an exit. That'll at least filter your l scan, or mostly filter it anyway. You'll still hear about items/enemies from other rooms but it'll keep the exit count down (you'll only see exits from the current room).

Now for navigation advice:
The alarm sounds represent the correct rooms/exits which lead you out of the level. Follow the alarms, and you'll be on the correct path.

The so-called incorrect exits are represented by a quiet humming sound. Going through those exits will take you to side paths. These side paths are mainly there to give you items. All side paths, however, will lead you to dead ends eventually.

Robots are scattered throughout the maise. Some are on the correct path, others are on the side paths. Thus, you have to explore every room to get to them all.

One more potentially confusing thing: The correct path will update as you explore. For example, let's say you take a side path which leads you to some items, but after that, you find a dead end. This is extremely common btw. So now you want to get back. Since the path always updates, that previously incorrect set of exits you took will be correct on your way back. This is a great help once you get used to it; again just follow the alarms and you'll progress the level.

I probably suck at explaining this. I think navigating is more a matter of feeling out how the game presents your immediate surroundings to you and getting a sense of how to use that information to plan ahead. It's something I definitely was confused with for about a day and then things just started clicking into place in a way that I can't really describe. Lol

@109, the alarms shouldn't be that loud? Then again that's subjective, so maybe what's fine for me is too loud for you? Or there might be something else going on. Idk.

So what you're asking is that the correct exit alarms be replaced with the incorrect exit sound, until all the robots are defeated? I mean it could work, but it would make it harder for those who just want to blaze through and only kill robots which get in their way.

As for robots not chasing you out of the room they're in: That's mostly a thing with dumbasses yeah. They can't see far. In my experience, they're far more likely to see my bullets than they are to see me directly, and I don't think they give chase until they see you, or until you start killing their friends at which point swarms of robots will come to investigate.

How do I update the version that I bought on Itch? I only see the demo downloads. Even though it tells me I own the game, it still has the buy for $9.95 link.

Well I never even got to the end of level1.
I was blasting dumbasses and it crashed.
Next time in I killed 1 dumbass  and it crashed.
Next time I was blasting away, killed several robots, stepped forward then it was out.
I should have kept v1.0 which never had these crashes.
Well anyway on the up side I pulled the folder open and wada you know all the sfx exist so I can view them.
How and why would a robot drink beer.
Also, I like the soundtrack and I like the fact I can play it outside the game.
Worth the cash just for the music alone.

I dont have any crashes during menus but after I am ded this games closes inmediatelly so I am not sure, that this is a crash or maybe this is a feature.

@117 You'll need a reasonably modern GPU. Nothing fancy, but something like my laptop from 10-12 years ago won't cut it. You'll also need Vulkan installed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan

To everyone experiencing the crashes: I'm still not getting line numbers, and annoyingly can't find a different provider nor am I super thrilled about creating my own crash reporter. I am, however, stress-testing the game and have fixed 4-5 crashes so far. I'm about to run a test battle with over 100 robots and 30 lives. If there are any remaining crashers, I'm hoping this will trigger them.

I'll make a new release tomorrow with the ones I've fixed.

Ok I know when the game crashes yet in the newest build.
When I am trying to shoot maybe 5 or more robots in the same place.
It happened when I was in sever room and I have destroyed all servers.
Or maybe it was my death.

This game is awesome! Thank you. Can you add more robot sounds to make differences betwen various robots?

Well, I love love this! This game could be really interesting with some more roguelite elements like upgrading system or new weapons / stuff.
