Tiny Robot Justice Squad

Tiny Robot Justice Squad is inspired by Contra, SmashTV, Bubble Bobble and Risk of Rain, but with rocket launchers, disc guns, laser beam drones and tons of other weapons, super powers, sidekicks that trash talk, and powerups to play around with as you battle waves of suitably deadly enemies lovingly crafted to explode in satisfying ways.

Tiny Robot Justice Squad is very heavily under development, but regular alpha demo builds are made available for you to play, so you can give the game a spin right now. It is available for Windows and there are experimental builds for Mac OSX and Linux. Remember that since this is in active development, bugs, glitches, errors and problems might still occur, so look out!

In order to continue development of the game, player feedback is absolutely crucial. So if you do download the game and if you have any thoughts at all about things you liked or didn't like about it, please get in touch. If you want to see updates on the game please follow on Gamejolt and/or follow me on Twitter: @mindrelay!

Features

• Action/Platformer/Arena Shooter hybrid with shades of bullet hell. Battle waves of enemies with diverse attack patterns while destroying fixed targets called Signal Pods that teleport in enemies and otherwise make your life worse.

• Three playable characters to choose from, with their own unique passive strengths and weaknesses.

• Select from a bank of skills to give yourself new abilities or perks, such as improved damage, the ability to turn enemy bullets into energy, or to gain damage boosts while on killing streaks, detonate into a FIREY HAIL OF DOOM when you die, and a ton more.

• Select sidekicks to accompany you in battle, they will aid by attacking your enemies, repairing you or helping you in other ways, like trash talking your enemies.

• 12 Guns with which to annihilate your enemies: Rocket Launchers, Beam Cannons, Bomb Launchers, Laser Guns, DOUBLE LASER GUNS and more. They're all designed to be fun, powerful, and violent and no weapon outright sucks.

• Each level packed with a variety of enemies out to get you, as well as multiple boss and mini-boss fights designed to test your skills.

Troubleshooting

The game fully supports gamepad control, however ensure that your controller is plugged in before starting the game. As bugs and glitches may still occur, if something goes wrong with your settings or configuration, re-launch the game and hold down SPACE BAR at the Mind Relay screen. You will hear a different jingle as the game loads, indicating that all settings have been reset to default. If this fails, or if you can't do it (for instance... you may not have a space bar!) you can search for a file named TinyRobotJusticeSquad_Configuration.xml and safely delete it to reset all settings to default.

Lauching

Windows - Extract all of the files in the archive to a directory (you can right click and press "extract all") and run tiny.exe

Linux - Extract all of the files in the archive to a directory, open a terminal to the directory where you extracted the files, and run "sh run.sh"

OSX - Extract all of the files in the archive to a directory, go into the directory where you extracted the files, and double click run.command

The Linux and OSX builds are considered experimental, and as yet not fully packaged as executables, and so for now use some quick bash scripts to start the game. These are text files and you can open them yourself to see what they do if you like!
