"Blasting Robots" is a small game for the Atari Lynx game console. In this intense arcade game, you must blast as many robots as possible without getting hit. How much destruction can you cause before meeting your own doom?

                               

Use the D-Pad to move and hold A to fire while aiming freely or B to fire with your aim locked into the latest direction (left or right) before pressing the button.
Press Option 2 to enable / disable music.

If you are looking for a challenge, my current highscore is 138 points!


How to play

Download the game ROM files in .LNX (emulator) and .LYX (flashcart) formats. The fully commented source code is also provided as a separate download if you want to make new games for the Atari LYNX too! This game is my entry to the LynxJam 2024 Game Jam hosted by Atari Lynx Vault. This year, the theme is "Maximum Destruction". In addition to this theme, every participant have to use the same tileset (sprites and background images) selected by the Jam organizers, and make a new game with it! I really enjoyed the theme and the beautiful tileset! Another limitation is the scope, as the whole game must fit under 50ko.

Dear Dr.Ludos,

I hope you’re doing well! My name is Renil Mathew Felix, and I’m reaching out from Banzan Studios, the team behind SnackR—an exciting new platform that combines the best of TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon, specifically designed for creators like you. We’ve been following your work, and we’re particularly impressed by your project, "blasting-robots" The creativity behind it caught our attention, and we believe it would resonate well with our growing audience on SnackR. SnackR is an all-in-one platform where creators can share games, animations, and comics, and engage with a dedicated mobile-first audience. This is built by a team of folks who have been creators themselves and have faced the same problems that young creators like you do. Each feature and functionality is built while keeping the ‘Creator’ in mind. We're focused on giving creators control over their content and its reach, and we'd love for you to be part of this journey. While "blasting-robots" truly stood out to us, you’re not limited to submitting just that—we’d be thrilled to explore any other game or project you think might be a great fit for SnackR as well. If you're interested in learning more about how SnackR could benefit you and help you reach new audiences, I’d love to discuss this further. Please let me know if you’re available for a quick chat. Feel free to check us out in the meantime: Website: https://banzan.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/banzanstudios/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/banzanstudios/ I’ll also share a short video showcasing what SnackR is all about—this will give you a better sense of how we’re creating a platform tailored for creators like you: ~ https://www.instagram.com/p/DCVjW1LIM07/ Here's the actual app on Google Play.
