Robot Wants Puppy

Robot Wants Puppy is a short metroidvania style platform action game. The player controls the robot moving around in a single huge map, dodging or attacking enemies, collecting power-ups and the end goal is to unlock the door to reach the puppy. The game features 8-bit style pixel graphics and sound effects.

The robot starts out with only the ability to move and jump, while carrying the kitty from the prequel, Robot Wants Kitty, on its head. Collect power-ups scattered throughout the map to gain abilities like throwing the cat to attack enemies, shooting, flying etc. The level is designed in such a way that collecting the power-ups will give the player access to new parts of the map. For example you first collect the ability to throw the kitty at enemies, and by killing enemies you can reach the key card, the key card allows the robot to reach other power-ups, and so forth.

There are green walking and shooting enemies, flying robots that spawn from robot factory, purple enemies that shoot directly at you. In two parts of the map there are end-boss type enemies, a red squid with a shield and a large black robot. Throughout the map there are electric barriers, fall into them and you die. Dying will respawn the robot at the last check point, but adds 10 seconds of your overall time. Reaching the end goal with the fastest time is a sub goal of the game.

Other elements include computers which act as check points. There are key cards that level up your security access which opening the yellow numbered doors. Enemies on the ceiling that drop down and explode in an arch of bullets.
