Robots In The Wild Releases on Steam Early Access
February 15, in the year of our Lord 2017 -- Robots In The
Wild -- an imaginative take on Tetris-like puzzle-solving and
base-building -- is launching today on Steam Early Access.
Developed by one-man studio Heatbox Games, Robots In The Wild
has players build an impenetrable “robot fortress” to survive
raids from fierce monsters (who come out only at night) and
endure against deadly natural disasters.
Not long ago, Robots lived in peace on a massive mothership …
until one day, they were hit by a gigantic asteroid scattering
their Blocks (and more importantly, their <HEARTS>) across the
galaxy. Since these are the most precious Robots of them all,
it’s important that you keep them safe!
Build your Robo-fortress by rotating and strategically placing
falling Blocks. Connect Blocks in different formations to build
Robots, such as:
* PewPewBot, which shoots lasers out of its mouth
* LampBot, who lights up the darkest nights
* DwellingBot, an essential Bot that produces four BatteryBots
that deliver sweet power to your other Robots
(Make sure to keep everything connected through the Blocks power
grid, since even the most energy efficient Robots still need a
clear path to a BatteryBot.)
The Monsters are incredibly dangerous and come in many different
forms. Some have many mouths, others explode on contact, and a
few even stand on each other’s heads! Some are so massive that
they can swallow your base up in one bite. Hurry up and get
those defenses ready -- because hungry alien Monsters wait for
no man, woman or Robot. While Earth’s creatures like to sleep
when it’s dark outside, these Monsters like to go “bump” in the
night! You’d better build some LampBots; otherwise, you’re not
going to see anything after the sun sets ...
DEVELOPER QUOTE
Aaron “Heatbox” Heaton (CEO, Heatbox Games):
“Robots In the Wild is a game about building sweet Robot
Citadels and running them efficiently. Crash landing on an alien
world would be hard enough, but these ‘bots have to face hungry
monsters ... and enough natural disasters to fry any mainframe!”
The following features have been added since the game has been
Greenlit:
* New boss fight
* Gamepad support
* More bonus challenge planets
* Simulator mode: Create your own planets!
KEY FEATURES (core game)
* Drop Blocks to build Robots and pathways, forming an
interconnected fortress.
* Build fun combinations of Robots to automate simple tasks.
* Overcome the forces of nature from quicksand to volcanoes.
* Use your Robots to outmaneuver and outmuscle a wide variety of
intergalactic Monsters.
All sound effects and voices in Robots In The Wild were created
and voiced by lead developer and professional beatboxer, Aaron
