Retro-styled platformer/puzzle where the main character has the ability to temporarily control the enemy robots. Certain robots have abilities that can be put into use, other times controlling the 'bots is simply to get out of tight squeezes. Be careful when you decide to drop your mine and take over a 'bot because you're completely vulnerable while doing so.. other 'bots might come along and pick you off. Most of the level design was the last two hours, so it's a bit iffy. I'm curious if it's even possible to get through the eight levels. Click where you want to move to, closer the better. Double click to drop the mine in your current location, double click to remove it from anywhere.

Apparently some people have experienced really slow animation. I cannot account for it, since it runs fine on my 7-year old XP box and my 5-yr old laptop. It won't ever run in Internet Explorer, you guys.. Okay, well, maybe IE9.

Part of the plan for this game was to do something totally cross-platform with HTML/Javascript, and ideally this sort of thing will run on an iPad or N900. I have only tested it in Firefox, Chrome and Opera and it seems to run well.

Developed in Linux with GIMP, Gedit, etc. Had to dust off my old WinXP box to run an ancient copy of Reason to do the music (the box of which I'll still need to try out everyone else's stuff!!) Still nothing comparable for Linux yet, but very close. Converted to MP3 && Ogg with Audacity.

You can download the "Windows version" and play it locally or just simply play it online through the web link. The "source" tarball doesn't include the audio files which makes for a much smaller file. Anyway, have fun. This be my first LD. [email protected]
