While on a dangerous mission, your robot's locomotion system broke! You'll need to protect your robot friend while it repairs itself.

Fetch and give to your robot batteries. They are necessary to maintain its shield, or boost its abilities.

Batteries

There are three types of battery.

- Blue: increase shields.
- Yellow: Improves rate of fire for a short amount of time.
- Red: Activates super weapon for a short amount of time.

Combine yellow and red to make a powerfull attack.

nice idea i love the concept but the robot feel a bit under powered

This is good! The only issue I had was that the game kept going after the robot died, so I could have run around indefinitely with all the enemies chasing, but that's not a big deal. Good work!

You really feel the urge to "keep it alive", a really nice twist around the tower defense genre.
Nice realization from the awesome pixel art to the really cool sfx and ambiance, you got it all!

Keep up the good work.

Great game! The graphics and audio are fantastic. They give the game a nice aesthetic. It's interesting because the robot feels like the big bad hero and I'm just some puny little human that's running around helping him out, which is an interesting role reversal that you normally experience in games.

It would be nice to have a restart button for when the robot dies (or the player dies, which I'm ashamed to admit happened because I wasn't sure how to protect the robot at first and thought "I'll take bullets for him!")

Good concept, controls felt really responsive and "good". Art was good too!

I love the design! It has some interesting "hiden mechanics" like accumulating items next to the robot or taking some bullets for him to save some shield. It is one of my favorites games this jam :D

The graphics and game play seem neat and original.

I liked it, it is very addictive as a game.
But a little more visual feedback would not be refused, we have the impression that each shot given / received does no damage.

Game is dope! You should add objects that block the robot's paths and form a little barricade thing. Anywho gj!

This game's got some pretty decent minimal aesthetics. Not a huge fan of the character/battery sprites but the background is clean! Also, having the robot that you don't actually control do the shooting was an interesting twist and I think it worked quite nicely. The shooting ends up getting a bit loud though, perhaps it would be good to turn it down a bit. Regardless, played pretty well and that music was nice and fitting. Well done.

very easy, but very cute! I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk .
Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

Game is really nice, i missed some kind of protection for the robot and sometimes I felt the robot is a bit underpowered. But the overall is really nice, congratulations!!!
