About Pocket Robots
program Your Own Pocket Robot
In Pocket Robots you don't use a controller to fight. You program your robot through an intuitive visual interface.
triggers and Actions
Use trigger cards such as Enemy or Wall and action cards such as Dash, Attack or Jump to beat your enemies !
dozens Of Special Moves
Shockwave, Dash attack, Counter, Shield, Air Crash, Charged attack, Mines, Magic Projectiles and countless others. Surprise your opponents with powerful (but energy-costly) moves.
customize Each Card
Every card, whether trigger or action, can be customized in countless ways to suit your AI strategy. Examples:
- Enemy in sight: customize how far the enemy has to be for a trigger to activate.
- Dash: customize your dash move, direction, strength and other parameters.
multiplayer
May the best coder win ! Fight your friends offline or online in an epic multiplayer mode. Scan a QR code and program your robot on your phone ! Or use a web browser if you're playing online.
solo Mode
Don't like playing with people ? We got you covered ! Fight the miscoded in the solo mode and travel through many worlds ! These formidable foes were injected a malicious program so be ready ! Teach your robot how to navigate through post-apocalytic levels filled with platforms, enemies, dangerous traps and a mysterious lore.
unleash the Programmer Inside You
Your robot knows what to do when it sees an enemy ? Great ! But what when it does not see an enemy ? Or even more: what if you want to do some specific action when you are facing a wall and your health is below 40 % ? Learn to master programming tools such as boolean logic (NOT, AND and OR) and variables (health, energy, heat, speed, etc.) to become invincible !
master Your Surroundings
Make sure your robot knows how to use the environment to improve your chance of success. See a trap ? Maybe there is a way of pushing the opponent in it. See an obstacle ? Maybe you could use it as protection ?
