The Robotics Facility is rapidly going offline, and it's up to you, the experimental PROTO(n) unit, to carry the last sparks of electricity to the dying facility. As a walking battery bot, you will have to carry and deliver your own electrical charge to restore these broken devices -- and be careful to preserve enough electricity for yourself.



Use your battery's dwindling charge to move through the facility, to plan routes around hazards, and to deliver yourself to the scattered recharging stations that remain. Getting there will require restoring operation to the doors and mechanisms along the way that block the way to the heart of the facility.

Good luck, little prototype. It's time to for your real-world test.

Special thanks to the awesome friends at Stellar Door Studios, and to our Frederick Game Dev group! This was started (quite late) as a background project during a group game jam event, and only made its way to a submission (if not quite a finished one) with their support and encouragement.

Post-Jam

Now that things have calmed down after the jam weekend, I've had a chance to add some of the missing features that didn't make it in by the jam submission hour. So far this includes:

- Audio / Music (and hopefully more of this still to come)
- Improved controls and camera
- Bug fixes outside the scope of the normal jam bug fixing

I'd love to hear feedback about both versions, and I'll keep the changes rolling into the Post-Jam version at the links below. (Please remember that review scores should be based on the jam version!)

Important note: WebGL is probably the easiest way to play this, but the Windows version has audio features that WebGL doesn't support (whicih was pretty disappointing to learn)! If you want to hear some fancy audio effects dynamically interact with your little Proton's battery level, try the Windows version! (Mac might work too, although I can't currently test Mac builds!)
