Hey guys, my company has finally released our first project, which is in Open Beta. The game is called Robot Rising and its an action RPG similar to Diablo/Torchlight only with robots
Here's a gameplay trailer, click the here to play! - https://apps.facebook.com/robotrising/
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Looks pretty slick. Sent my beta request.
How do you know we signed up from here or just found the site somewhere else?
Double post
In b4 all the "Facebook is the devuullll!!" hand wringing.
Request incoming.
Got mine.
This looks awesome! And it looks like a lot of customization from all the different mech types. Or are they predefined?
I guess I'll go to the site and read for myself.
edit - and done! signed up for beta =)
Can't wait then to take it for a spin!
Is it right/left mouse click or are there more (number keys) active skills like d3?
Will put in a signup later tonight, forgot to do it yesterday.
Played up till Level 3 when my session timed out. A charming little game.

Request incoming.
Having said this, I do need to ask. Why is this on Facebook? Are there social aspects that take advantage of the platform? I'd rather see this as a downloadable title on Steam or GamersGate, the level loads kill my data cap.
Played a bit.
Some random thoughts:
1) I kept wanting to hold down shift to fire without moving.
2) The option to go into a level on 'easy' or 'hard' difficulties could do with some feedback about what that actually entails. (enemies have half/double life, do half/double damage, what?)
3) When presented the choice to do a second level or return to base, I would worry about running out of inventory space so always went back. Maybe an option to send stuff back to the warehouse in between levels without having to return?
4) Disappointingly, none of the gear I found was worth anything when recycled.
5) Liked the turret things which paint a crosshair on the ground you could move away from to avoid damage. A bit of change of pace from simply standing there unloading at enemies and repairing when necessary.
6) Music freezes, loading screen stalls a bit just at the end of a level load.
7) Crafting, what little of it I encountered seemed not worth it compared to just looking for drops because I'd rather save my mineral resources for building buildings. Maybe that would change once I had all the buildings.
I just put in my Beta request! I look forward to testing this out as I try to figure out what my own project will be-- I never thought of a Mecha-Torchlight-- that's a great idea!

I like running up to the towers, then running away just before they shoot so they blow themselves up.
oh forgot, probably a "known issue" but since I can't be arsed to use your official beta forum:
when you go to the warehouse there are weird cpu/memory modules that are tagged with the word 'story'? which aren't normally visible in your bot inventory.
Just put in a beta request as the game looks very interesting.
1) the game is fun
2) the graphics look better in game than in the videos
3) all 4 of the weapon types I've found/equipped feel good
4) the esc key to exit full screen mode is a problem with Unity but I miss use it to close open windows all the time; can we get the spacebar to close windows like in d3?
5) after the computer helper stopped giving me tutorial tips, I missed out on it still having objectives for me... a more obvious reminder every once and a while would be nice
6) same goes for rewards earned; I finally found that I had a bunch I could click on after 5 missions completed
7) someone mentioned recycling... I was wondering where that was for all the stuff I don't want to use
8) do you just exit the page or is their another way to exit the game?
9) I looted the same items mentioned in another post with either "story" or generic filler text descriptions
10) the minimap needs more features like move resize or perhaps transparency or overlay
Thanks polypusher!
I feel like the only reason this is a Facebook game is because of the base-building/energy mechanic, which seems exclusive to that sort of game. To be honest, I don't really like it. Seems to me that if someone wants to play your game, you should let them keep playing instead of saying, "give us money or go play someone else's game." I know that model is extremely successful but I think it meshes better with clicking crops and cows than loot hunting.
I wanted to play through to level 6 and my first new chassis, and just as I was about to ding over, had accumulated enough resources to build the chassis I'd researched, found a cool "flamer"-style weapon and was approaching the exit, the game told me that my session had expired. I don't know how much (if anything) I lost because I couldn't get back into the game. Kept getting a 404 error.
Other than that, all I have to add is that I'm not crazy about enemies dropping crates that I then have to open. Why can't they just drop the item?
Signed up as an alternate facebook account that matches my name on here.
I got the beta invite last night but was too busy to try it out. I plan on checking it out tonight though!
Just put in my beta app, looks good!
Played a bit more last night. I didn't lose anything but my progress on that level. Still had all my XP and items. Once I got my first two-weapon mount I put two flamethrowers on it and had some fun incinerating everything. BTW, I'm not sure if it's bugging or just kind of obtuse, but I had a hell of a time replacing my chassis. I kept getting messages about how I couldn't move my chassis "right now," with no explanation of why not. Since it shows up like equipment on the inventory page I was trying to treat it like equipment, but the actual method for replacing it is much more convoluted and was never explained to me.
If I might be so bold as to ask for you to prioritize a feature, do you think you could get the mute buttons working? I like to watch Netflix while I play loot games.
I accidentally started to make a building last night (turns out right-click isn't "clear," it's "left click but I'ma put this menu in your way too") and discovered that the cancel button doesn't work. I was glad to find I could move the building so no big deal, but might want to add that to the list.
Interesting... Will take a look in between bouts of Dark Souls
What do localized hard drives do? I only played for a little bit, and was able to 'use' them and they just disappeared.
