Hero's Robot

This game is all about the world's first programmable robot which was created by Hero of Alexandrio in around 60AD...

You program the robot to collect coins and avoid obstacles to progress to new levels.

Detailed instructions on how to program the robot is in the tutorial.

Press 'N' during the intro scene if you want to skip it. You can also press 'N' to skip the tutorial if you think you know how to program a 1000+ year old robot :P

Have fun.

P.S: My second Ludum Dare and my third completed game :D All the programming and art(Except the face of Hero which I took from wikipedia) is done by myself in about 15 - 20 hours. All the actual gameplay was made in the last 3-4 hours. I wasn't motivated enough this time and spent most of the time just day dreaming.
