About the Game

Play this strange little idea that combines turn-based planning with old-school 2D side-scrolling. I would call this game an experimental strategy game. Build a deck and get a hand of cards. Arrange those cards in the order that you want your little robot to follow. Press play and watch your little obedient robot advance through the stage.

You take control of a little obedient robot that you kind of program with cards you find.

Learn your robot's movement cards by practicing with them. Give them a try and see what each card does. Once you know how to use them you can plan and try to dodge enemies as you make your way to the exit.

HOW TO PLAY:


You click and drag cards into whatever order you want.



Then when you're ready, hit the play button and watch your robot follow the commands on the cards.



You can add cards to modify your robot's moves.



There are numerous different stages to explore along with dozens of special moves to discover. The game features at least 2+ hours of gameplay.

*Please note that the game may have some bugs as it is a prototype. We'll try to squash anything nasty we come across.
