🌸 NAME 🌸

robots — fight off villainous robots 😤🤖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So robots pits you against evil robots, right? And these robots are literally trying to kill you — which, yeah, that's the whole reason they're evil 🙈. But here's the slay: even though they're evil, they are not very bright, and they have this little habit of bumping into each other and just... destroying themselves 💀. Iconic behavior honestly.

So in order to survive, you have to get them to kill each other off, because you have zero offensive weaponry. Not a single one. Ngl it's a vibe check every single turn 🫶.

Since you're stuck without offensive weaponry, you are endowed with one piece of defensive weaponry: a teleportation device 🌀✨. That's your main character energy right there.

The rules, fr fr:

• When two robots run into each other or a junk pile, they die 💀
• If a robot runs into you, you die 😭
• When a robot dies, you get 1 point ⭐
• When all the robots die, you start on the next field 🌈
• This keeps up until they finally get you 🎀

Robots are represented on the screen by a +, the junk heaps from their collisions by a ∗, and you (the good guy 🫶) by a @.
