Robots On

Can you defeat the swarm of killer robots in this old school arcade classic.

The robots are attacking in this retro game from the days of classic arcade games.

Play flat 2D mode like the original arcade games, or tap the camera icon to zoom in on action and play from several different camera angles including 1st and 3rd person modes.

These Robots run the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI 2.0a), but they are still not quite as smart as us humans. I'm assuming you are a human, please forgive me if you are ... er something else...

Anyway another advantage is that you get about a 2 second start on the robots, while they are powering up, but all too soon its "Robots On" and you need to move. Make the most of the vital few seconds to target the most powerful and difficult robots first.

The action is manic, you are out numbered a thousand to one by the collective bunch of evil killer robots.
