Hi!
I'd like to share a freeware game with you that I have created, completed (1 episode), and that I'm sometimes still working on.
Robotix is a 2D (sideview) multi-directional/platform space (robot) shooter which has a number of vehicles, controlled by keyboard, and a number of weapons, controlled by mouse.
There's a wide variety of missions, guided by a unique storyline, primarily focussing on blasting anything that can be blasted
Including lots of enemies, structures, bases - all in explosive quantities.
And various goodies to pick up along the way.
All of the music tracks, sound effects and graphics, code and storyline are homemade, if that says anything
And a lot of special effects are also included for your pleasure
Here are some snapshots to you give an impression of what it looks like (if that says anything
)
And if you like watching some demonstration videos, I've created some for your viewing pleasure
I'm very curious if there are other people who like to play this type of game just for the sake of fooling around, enjoying great fireworks and exploring the game world.
And I wonder if there's someone who enjoys this game so much, that you keep coming back for more (like me!), following the storyline and playing all the levels until the final showdown.
So, please let me know if you have as much fun playing this game as me!
