This is a less-than-one-day entry, made for ZX Spectrum 48k, an over 30 year old home computer. The web link opens in an online emulator, which is fairly good, the audio is a bit off though.
The .tap file can be used to play on actual hardware or on one of the various emulators out there.
In main menu, use keys 1, 2 or 3 to pick controls (QAOP being spectrum classic, WASD more modern, and interface-2 joystick is there too).
The goal of the game is to kill all the robots without being killed yourself. The robots come in R, G and B varieties, and red can kill blue, blue can kill green, and green can kill red. There's a cheat sheet for this on screen all the time. You can switch your own color by pressing fire (space).
It starts out rather easy but as more robots are introduced, it may get a bit hairier soon enough..
For development I used my speccy toolchain based on sdcc which can be found in my github, with my graphics conversion tool (also on github). For audio I used BeepFX player by Shiru which is free for everyone to use for whatever.

Due to request, I added a link to a package of a spectrum emulator for windows with the .tap file included. The emulator is not (well duh) made by me, but this may be convenient for some people. There are *A LOT* of zx spectrum emulators out there for just about every platform imaginable, so feel free to use whatever emulator you want. The package is there just for convenience.
