Tip ‘o the Monocle to Sir Kyle

ROBOT DESTROY!

Kyle posted his neato robot destruction game. Play it and experience trembling terror at the skills of a superhero one-man game development studio named Gabler!

ROBOT GAME

It’s a neat nod to what has become a webgame metagenre, the “Tower Defense” game. I look forward to the day when we won’t name genres for influential games and will instead have an understanding of how interactivity is constructed, why a certain combination of mechanics and content seem to harmonize so well, and where it’s reasonable to draw the genre lines. Somebody solve this problem! Anyhow, big ups to my main man Kyle, he of the Indie Midas Touch :P .

    Thanks for the plug, swunkentreasure! Yeah it’s absolutely a reverse tower defense. :) Also borrowed (stole) a lot of design ideas from George Fan’s Insaniquarium, “tending” to a population that rewards you with some currency (ripped out hearts), etc
