Robot and the Cities that Built Him
Robot and the Cities that Built Him is a stylish little Flash game by 2D Boy. It was put together in 7 days, described as a prototype, and also as unfinished. Besides having one of the greatest game titles in recent memory, there’s also this great quote:
What is man? What is machine? What does it mean to be human? Perhaps from a distance we’re not so different from giant kill bots? Can a computer make you cry? Yes, if it has lasers.
Game play is simple, and will get more frantic as you progress. It’s a simple resource management game, using the mouse to manage your robots. Click on them and they’ll recharge, if you don’t they’ll die. You don’t actually get to shoot, that’s done automatically. Collect the hearts from the humans that are killed to increase your money. With money you can buy more robots or upgrade the ones you have.
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” – Roy Batty
