Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the maximum level of Droid Power somehow reduces the accuracy of the shots. Despite these advantages, the game has a few designs in place to discourage the player from simply firing all the time these will be described later.įor almost all levels of Droid Power, fired shots travel reliably straight towards where the player’s cursor is. That “Droid Power” upgrades happen to change the cosmetic appearance of the droid’s head would strongly support this impression.Īnyway, the gun can fire unlimited shots, which can travel rather quickly. In-game, it is called “Droid Power”, supposedly because the gun draws its ammunition from the droid itself. The most apparent tool that the droid has is its “gun”, which looks like an overly large tuning fork. These tools can be upgraded from level to level, which happen to change their appearance (or at least the appearance of an associated part on the droid). These are depicted on its very simply-drawn sprite. The droid has several tools for its use in its assault on the robots’ nexus. Alternatively, the player could use a controller, which is just as well because the game is technically a twin-stick shoot-‘em-up.Īnyway, the movement controls are quite responsive, as are those for shooting (at least until the player obtains the highest power grade of the droid’s gun there will be more elaboration on this later).ĭROID CAPABILITIES & UPGRADES - OVERVIEW: The WSAD keys are used to shuffle it about, while the mouse is used to aim at the general direction that it is shooting at. The last human has decided that if he/she could not beat them, he/she would join them – with the caveat that an upgradeable droid body would help him/her exact terrible vengeance on the robots.Īpparently, with the droid body, the human has managed to breach the computing facilities of the robots, with the intent of killing their processing cores.īy default, the keyboard and mouse are used to control the human-cum-droid (henceforth referred to as just “the droid”). If one deems to know more about the premise, it is a simple trope: the human race has been all but rendered extinct by an uprising of robots. It has to be said here that the premise of the game is ultimately just an excuse to throw a whole bunch of angry enemies at the player to shoot at. Puppy Games is not above info-marketing that affects gameplay. Unfortunately, although the game may have been worked on for years, its current build at this time of writing still has many design issues. However, Ultratron should be the earliest game that it has published, and it has been worked over the years. Research into Puppy Games’ chronology of games is quite difficult, short of actually contacting the indie game-maker itself. It was not only until recently (at this time of writing) that they have achieved a greater profile. Puppy Games is an aspiring indie game developer that actually started operating way back as early as 2001. By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: January 16, 2014
