RescueBot
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

Rescuebot, the fastest rescue machine in the whole world!
Shapeshift in not one, not two, but three different excellent rescue machines!
You can be a paramedic!
You can be an ambulance car!
And you can be an awesome rescue helicopter!
Try to rescue as many people as you can, and don't anything! Especially if you've got a patient in the back of your ambulance :-)

I've added WebGL as a build, so it is easier to play. However, the indicator arrows are broken in WebGL. This bug does not occur in the normal version.

===============
If you can, use a gamepad. It is easier to control and thats pretty important for a rescuebot.
The keyboard controls work too, but I did not fine tune them. Sorry, I know this is an issue and I will try to make it better for the next LD project.
Controller: (XBOX)
- LEFT Analog Stick: Steer Left/Right

- Button Y: Change Shape to „Helicopter“
Keyboard:
- LEFT/Right Arrow: Steer Left/Right
- Left SHift: Accelerate
- Left CTRL: Brake
- A: Change Shape to „Man“
- S: Change Shape to „Car“
- D: Change Shape to „Helicopter"

How to Play
===========
I hope the game and the intro screen show you what's important. If not, here is a small manual:
You are a rescuebot. Rescue as many patients as possible and bring them savely(!) to the hospital (indicated by the red arrow if not on screen). The green arrow indicates the patient to be rescued. Now go, drive or fly to the patient.
- PICK UP PATIENTS
To pick up a patient, you need to be in the "Man" Shape. That's the guy with the stretcher. If you try to pick up a patient while being the car, you will hurt him!
- DROP OFF PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL
To drop a patient at the hospital, drive onto the striped area and be in the "car" shape (that's the ambulance).
- THE HELICOPTER
The helicopter can only be used for a limited time (there is an indicator in the top of the screen). If you used your helicopter time, you will revert to the "car" shape. The helicopter time regenerates over time.
- COLLISIONS
Colliding with anything is bad! Well, if you are the man or the helicopter, you're fine. But if you are the car, colliding with an obstacle will damage your vehicle, and hurt your patient if you are carrying one.
- REPAIRS
To repair your rescuebot, drive on the striped area at the repair station, indicated with the wrench arrow.
- DEATH
If you are too slow or too careless, patients will die. Once the third patient dies, the game is over. You also loose a life if your rescuebot gets destroyed.
