YOU are a red Robot with the responsibility of maintaining a Robot Factory full of older-model Bots. On a normal day, the programming of every Bot ensures that the whole facility runs harmoniously.

Today is not a normal day. As you make a tour of inspection, you notice more and more anomalies, until you finally reach a room where the system has gone completely haywire. The only explanation is that a rogue Bot has found its way into your allegedly secure Command Centre and is pressing buttons at random.

Unfortunately you are on the far side of the factory. To make your way back to the Command Centre and set things right, you are going to need to rely on your wits and some old school tricks: painting the ground and switching vacuum tubes to get every Bot back on a charging pad until you sort this out.

Controls

  • WASD or arrow keys to move
  • X, N or Left Mouse Button to add or remove paint.
  • Z, M or Right Mouse Button to pick up, swap or drop command tubes.
  • Mouse over commands on the panel for command tooltips.

Many thanks to Istaera, Jordan, mankarse, and Amalgam for play-testing and support!
