On your way to the base you will have to protect them from dangers and enemies using your laser gun, jet pack, pilot ground and air vehicles, destroy terrain, and even make new paths with the ground maker gun.

- Advanced platformer AI including dynamic terrain detection, jump force calculation, light sensitivity, inter-NPC communication.
