Robot Workshop

co-authored: @mary1, @youpz

Build a fighter from junk


Run a combat robot workshop in a junkyard. Assemble your fighters from scrap, unlock new parts, and upgrade them before sending them into the ring.

The robots fight on their own. Your job is to give the crowd a good show: the excitement of the match matters more than which robot wins.

Yes, that's a victory dance


Winning apparently goes straight to their heads.

Made for Ludum Dare 60: Old Tech.

Special thanks to our sound designer for his help. You can find his work at valley42.com.

Making the crowd's excitement matter more than which robot wins is a fun twist on a junkyard arena. I like the real steal vibe, and love the janky robots :D

BRO THATS TUFF, i like the style of lethal company/R.E.P.O, i mean I found it really interesting to combinate some junk to duild a robot, and fights are great, BUT UNARGUEABLE the best part of the game is victory dances

The robot victory dances are by far my favorite part 😆. I also enjoyed watching the robots combo each other. I think it would have been nice to have fewer fights in between letters though.

Stylish ! The art and mood here are great ! The gameplay is a bit one-note though, but keep at it I want to see more.

Game looks great! Love seeing the robots get into the cage and I think it's a fun match for the theme. I experienced a bit of a Slim Shady jump scare haha. :)

Building combat robots out of junk and sending them into the arena for spectacular fights is a really fun concept! That's very cool!

Haha it was a cool experience, I loved the art and the animations. Also it was kinda fun to pimp my bots. A lot of work has been done on the ease of play. It doesn't need an onboarding or whatever, it's simple and it works. Just 2 small details : I'm not sure what was the purpose of the energy lever and I think a thinner cage would make it easier to see the fight. Besides that, huge gg for this nice and original experience.
