However, this robot is only a few centimeters tall and has 10 seconds of battery. Through a puzzle\/platform level design where speed is as important as reflexion, the player must reach a teleporter without dying.<\/p>\n<p>We implemented several elements the last day, such as turrets and fans. Our artist did a really good job by animating all the possible states of the robot. About three hours before the end, we decided to add an intro and a boss.
