Description
Addictive space arcade shooter with strong pixelart style graphics and dynamic music. 2165 A.D. You are A-Bot โ independent anti-asteroid robot with mission to defend navigation platform. Suddenly you meet unknown threat from space. Alien insectoids arrived on giant asteroid to your galaxy. Now you are the advanced boundary of defense!
How to Play
The game is NOT a simple "shoot'em all". You have to THINK what to do. READ help in the game - it might be more useful then you think.
CONTROLS:
"mouse": "movement";
"left_mouse": "fire bullet", hold for continuous fire;
"1-4": "select weapon";
"t": "plasma cannons fire mode switch (auto/manual)";
"space ": "plasma cannons manual fire", hold for continuous fire;
"left_mouse" on plasma cannon: "show/hide plasma cannon";
"g": "hide/show all plasma cannons".
HINTS:
- try to shoot them one by one but fast - gives you x2, x3 and so on
- there is "No repair" bonus
- invaders moves in formations
- if you break the formation too far they will try to get away
- if you break the formation too close the invaders will become berserks
- plasma cannon bullets are self-targeting, but when there are no targets these bullets will go to the position where your mouse was when you fired
- think of using previous hints and... something else
You don't have to repair everything - just take care of key structures for the moment. Which one is key structure? It depends on wave you are playing cause each wave has it's own formations you have to beat. The game is more puzzle then shooter actually...
Developer Updates

I repaired a little as a possibly could and I was still 5 space bux short of upgrading. The aiming is not intuitive enough and I have to question the usefulness of crosseyed aiming. The aliens stealthing away is not terribly fun either. Why is your game so chock full of un-fun ideas?

Money isn't a problem for me. Once I get to wave 11-12, killing the bugs quickly is the problem (and it gets worse when they open fire and damage the generators)
