From Know Your Enemy Update #2

Plate-Dohs

A brand new enemy for Project Smallbot: Light, Plate-Doh is a fusion between a bunch of different things internally, but externally resembles a bunch of plates and cups glued together with playdoh being molded inside the glass bowl to resemble a slimy monster. Plate-Dohs are the first enemies you encounter in this level and are known for their ability to shoot lasers out of their sides thanks to the cannon installed on their sides. These lasers are really fast but they can be blocked with your energy shield. Just know that the energy shield’s energy is decrease with each successful block from a laser so be careful.

variations

Plate-Dohs are the first enemies in the game to have different variations in the game. There are a total of 8 different versions of this enemy and each one of them have different AI. Some are normal and will just move around and shoot while others are immune to the energy shield or can’t be bounced off. Some can’t even shoot lasers at all while others just float in one area. There are also fusion versions, meaning that some Plate-Dohs are immune to both your energy shield and cannot be bounced on so they must be avoided at all cost. Each variation has it’s own subtle design change so you must really look closely at a Plate-Doh to see what it does and does not have in able to know both it’s strengths and weaknesses before attacking.
