The little bot who could... SAVE THE WORLD!

Explore, find the keys, find the battery and then find the OLD TECH to save the world!

In the (not so) distant future, all that remains are the robots.

But something is __wrong__. The little bots are becoming obsolete!

Still, there are rumours in the dataverse. Whispers of something that can save them.

Some kind of... OLD TECH.

There's just one problem...

It's hidden in a dangerous factory patrolled by the horrible, nasty, perfidious, irredeemable and... err... bad NEWBOTS!! And they can FLY!

Nevertheless, one BRAVE LITTLE BOT decides that they MUST try...

...TO SAVE THE WORLD!

CONTROLS

WASD to move the little bot

SPACE to jump

SHIFT to dash (you might need an upgrade first!)

ESCAPE to pause/adjust volume/go to main screen

the title screen with the TV-headed robot has a fun saturday morning vibe. in the 3D level the camera sat close behind a wall and it was very dark, so i couldnt see the bot or where to go. pulling the camera back a bit would help

I couldn't figure out where to get the green key. Also, the game kept freezing for me, but otherwise, it seems like a pretty cool game.

I also experienced some freezing. Loved the audio! The little bot is adorable! I have a terrible sense of direction and kept getting lost. That said, the level design seems to be rather well done! Also, there was a door that I went through but the camera didn't follow me. I managed to get turned around and back through the door, and when I went through it the second time, the camera followed.

Nice work! Loved the audio!

@blus7 @mrs-wheelsx Thanks for playing the game! The freezing issue is due to some extremely questionable design decisions made by an unnamed developer when they were very tired (okay... it was me) combined with the utter lack of optimization that comes with a game jam. It would work fine in a standalone build, but on the web it struggles a bit. Thanks again for taking a look!

Congrats! Your handmade 3D bot, funny intro and the gameplay are charming, and the patrol bot's red light adds tension. Good use of camera, too! Great work, congrats!

@gevernus Thanks for checking the game. I'm not sure if the camera issue you were experiencing was a bug or not. Generally, all the cameras are quite far back from the little bot. They're mostly high on the walls looking down on the room. So if that's not what you saw, then it was a bug but not one I've experienced in testing. Anyway, thanks for playing!

@nursultan Thanks!

@milq Thanks for playing! I'm actually pretty happy with the cameras, although there are still a few that are a bit funky.

The ambiance of being in a secret facility and avoiding detection was nice. Sadly the web build didn't seem to run very well and the sound kept glitching. The camera being affixed to the wall like a security camera was neat.

Remink21 Oct 2026, 09:13

Great little game, sadly I wasn't able to find the key and I got lost in the rooms ^^' The sound was a bit buggy, but I like the effort that was made in the music :)

Human Writes Codeauthor21 Oct 2026, 09:26

@alex-mulkerrin and @remink Thanks for playing my game! The sound issue is interesting. I don't get it at all on the web build (which is why I never fixed it during development) but quite a few people have mentioned it. It's not surprising since there is exactly zero optimization on this game. Also, @remink, I probably should have added a minimap but... let's be honest, I didn't have time.

This could turn into a great Metroidvania.
Nice game, really enjoyed it!

the tv headed robot on the title screen has such a fun saturday morning cartoon vibe, and the whole quest for the old tech fits the theme nicely. i like that you have to hunt for keys and a battery before you can save the world, it gives the little bot a proper adventure. was the factory designed around one route, or did you build it with multiple paths in mind? cute game.
