RoboHunters

RoboHunters is a fast-paced top down action shooter. Destroy swarms of rogue machines, level up, and fight the Robo Sentry boss!

As you level up, your characer will gain new abilities such as Napalm Boots, Gravity Vortex, and the Destroyer Disc! Leveling up the same ability more than once will increase its power.

How to Play

This game plays best with a mouse and keyboard.

Move your character with WASD, and use the mouse to aim. Abilities can be triggered with Left mouse click, Right mouse click, and 1-4 on your keyboard.

Controller support is limited to in-game play. Menus do not yet all work with the controller.

Move with the left stick, aim with the right. Left bumper, right bumper, and the 4 gamepad buttons will activate your abilities
