Nikki and the Robots – 2D platform game

Nikki and the Robots is a 2D platform game with an embedded Chipmunk physics engine.

In a fictional world of the future the infamous super villain Dr. Lacroix schemes to seize world supremacy with his army of robots. You take the role of Nikki and try to cross those evil plans on behalf of a secret organization. Your quest will take you to various locations: from futuristic metropolises to submarine facilities, floating islands, and even as far as orbital space.

Nikki and the Robots renders homage to the classical platform games of the eighties and nineties, while at the same time realizing a unique gameplay idea.

The main character Nikki refrains from using any weapons or equipment during the whole quest, and can only jump and run around the levels. However, it is possible to hack into Dr. Lacroix’s various robots and to take control of them via computer terminals. The nifty use of the robots and the combination of their characteristic special abilities enable Nikki to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and complete the level tasks.

Features include:

• Intuitive controls.
• Solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and complete the level tasks.
• Level editor.
• Online functions.
• Auto-updater to ensure you play the latest version.
