A game of fun, shooting, and I'm sorry to put you through this

A fabricator robot on Mars was supposed to make a bunch of robots! But it got lazy and made robots that could make other robots. And it made them smarter than they should have been. Now they've all gone off and hidden away in various tanks and computers.

Happily, he knew how to construct you, a simple fighting robot. It's your job to clean out each area!

W A S D moves (strafes)

Move mouse left-right to rotate

Left mouse button to fire

1 2 3 4 activates and deactivates powerups (see below)

Space to pause

Esc to quit

There are four powerups in the game. You'll find them as blue tiles on the ground-- just run over them to pick them up.

Once you've got a powerup, you have it available for the rest of the game. But you don't have to have it on all the time! You can press a number key to activate or deactivate a powerup:

1 = triple shot
2 = damage boost shot
3 = bouncy shot
4 = railgun shot

And you can even mix and match! Turn on only 1 and 4 to activate triple railgun shots!

Different powerups will have different combined effects. For example, damage boost needs more cooldown time, and the shots move more slowly too. Triple shot fires more quickly but the shots are much less powerful

Once you get all four powerups, if you turn them all on at once, you get a special weapon just for the end-game boss...!

Along the left shows your current active powerups, with a number to remind you of the correct key.

On the right is your current health. Above that are indicators for how many lives you have left.

You start with 5 lives. Good luck!
