Description: A conversion of the ZX Spectrum puzzle game by Miguetelo



The story

You are Slade, 45 years old, and yes, you love your job: to destroy broken robots on distant planets and throw them into the burning lava.
You will be sent to different planets guiding the broken robots through different scenarios, your mission, throw them into the lava with the exclusive help of two old big magnets.
You must avoid the green stones of kryptonite (the robot will explode causing pollution of the entire planet). You must avoid the sentinels of the plant as well.
The magnets have a limited battery charge. They can be charged by picking up the batteries on the map. If you run out of energy, you die. If both magnets are aligned with the robot, it will stop moving.
You can use mobile platforms to fill gaps, break glass floors, climb through light lifts, use teleportation, etc.


Controls

use keyboard or joystick

Q or joy left - Left magnet UP
A or joy right - Left magnet DOWN
P or joy up - Right magnet UP
L or joy down - Right magnet DOWN

Top!

Colorful and complicated enough... can't wait

Beautiful! \o/

Your output of late is amazing! I know you are mostly converting monjon twins stuff, but that is by no means an insult. Your effort is much appreciated.

Thanks everyone

Look forward to it.

Been gathering a list and collection of all the games, I'll have to add this one.

Looks complicated.

This looks great. Seems like an original idea for the VIC too. Can't wait to play this.

Suggestion for a sequel: You play a robot overlord who takes revenge on all humans and the goal is to push humans into lava if they don't provide manual labor (such as cranking wheels to generate electricity). lol

The robot should be named "Bender".

The game has been released, enjoy !

Controls made to confuse But persistance pays off as the game gets much more interesting after a while. Save states are highly recommended - it is not fun at all to re-play those early levels. Every new planet adds new elements/mechanics. I am at planet 4.

Very well made graphics and, as is often the case, the chunky Vic pixels improve the original look by making it less grid-y and more cute. The out of tune We Are The Robots works very well, Billie Jean is at least recognizable

Thank you for yet another game!

Much harder than I first thought, though very enjoyable But I, too, will probably resort to save states ...

I find the graphics extremely well done, the colors are just perfect and the robots are exquisitely cute.

There are not exactly an abundance of action puzzlers for the Vic, so this is really superb addition to its library!

Game completed!
I would like to point out that I have only used save states as check points between planets and not for single screens/levels, Far cheating IMO

Yes, a very sparsely populated genre for Vic. I think games like Eggerland/Lolo/Chip's Challenge should work well on Vic.

Beautiful game!
