Good Robot

Good Robot is a fast-paced roguelike shoot-em-up that pits you against thousands of robots out to violate your warranty. Explore a procedurally generated sci-fi metropolis and the depths of corporate depravity, but never stop shooting...unless, of course, you're a Bad Robot. You're not, are you?

About the Game

In 2031, unchecked pollution meant humans could no longer survive on the Earth’s surface. Fortunately, PyroCorp saved the world by building massive underground cities with an army of intelligent robots.

Everything was fine - until one day, the robots went bananas and killed all humans. To avert a public relations and stock market nightmare, PyroCorp rests its final hope on you - the only remaining Good Robot.

DO

✓ Erase all evidence that suggests PyroCorp caused human extinction

✓ Terminate all bad robots, for they are the incriminating evidence
✓ Support PyroCorp by purchasing the latest in robot destruction technology
✓ Save yourself from killer robots by making sure your killer robot is better

DON'T

✗ Question what you’re told

✗ Listen to what the virus has to say
✗ Talk to the robots
✗ Romance the robots

Are you a Good Robot? Let me put it this way:
Do bad robots come with a 14-day money back guarantee*?
