This is a game created by Upperland and GreenNeko made for everyone to be able to contribute and enjoy in their favorite system, including Windows, Linux, Mac and Playstation 2. Rockbot® features old-school colorful low resolution artistic graphics. We are proud to deliver this 1980's like experience to the 21st century. ATTACK IN KYOTO CITY This is year 20XX, the city is Kyoto in Japan, and unlike Tokyo, the city does not have any hero to protect it. Calling Dr. Kanotus, please answer! This is the Mayor, we need you to build a robot to defend our city against enemies. Look on what is happening in Tokyo, we need a robot hero to protect the people! As answer, Dr. Kanotus created one robot, called Betabot, to fight; but is was an early and rushed project, thus he kept constructing a second one better and smarter and finished him right before a horde of enemy robots started rampaging the city. GAME CONTROL Jump: X Attack: A Shield: Z Dash/Slide: C Start/Menu: Enter Quit: Esc PLAYER CHARACTERISTICS Betabot project was rushed, due to the city mayor urgency, thus is was built with harder and heavier materials, limiting his movements a bit. Also, he is very straightforward, and when make a decision, is unable to change his mind and the incomplete vocabulary system makes him talk in a very limited way. He have two cannon arms, enabling him to shot twice at once, being easier to hit a movable target. Rockbot is smarter, faster and have a anti-gravity jump system, allowing him longer and slower jumps. He also have a special cannon arm, that can be charged and shot a more intense energy projectile, but due to this feature, he can't shoot more than 3 regular, or one charged, until his energy unit gets cooled. He also can slide to avoid attacks or enter some areas in the game. PLAYING THE GAME Your mission is to cross a series of mazes dominated by out-of-control robots and evil machinery. From everywhere they come, you must dodge, shot, run, jump and climb to reach the end of this madness. At the end of each stage you will have to confront a robot master and if you win, its special weapon will be yours. You start with three chances to win, and an energy meter in the left of the screen to keep an eye in your robot health. Each time you are hit by a enemy or its shots, you loose a bit of energy, when it reaches zero, you'll lose one chance, and, when no more chances are left, it is the end, the city is doomed without your help! Luckily some enemies drop items, that can also be found in some parts of the mazes, those items help you. Energy tanks can be used anytime to fully refill your energy, red remedy pills restore some energy and the green ones restore some energy on the special weapon you are equipped with. The robot face gives you one extra chance, up to nine you can store. Do not give up, fight til the end! The destiny of Kyoto depends on your skills with the joystick, and you must prevail. POWER UP!
