Batr-E - Nikola's Journey
In the distant Solarpunk future, a small repair robot named Nikola is assigned to rebuild an old factory. There are no enemies, the environment and it's puzzles are "the enemy" - giving PvE a deeper meaning.
Attention: just a first kinda-demo level. Not a full game.
Controls of the game
- A to move left, D to move right.
- Alternatively, you can also use the arrow keys to move.
- There is no jump button.
No, really, Nikola has a wheel and therefore can't jump.
But there are other ways to move up and down through the level. - The movement is only possible as long as the robot has energy left.
- With ESC you can call up the pause menu in the game.
- Menus are navigated by mouse.
Energy: charging and discharging
- Nikola doesn't have endless battery, managing energy is part of the puzzle.
- Some elements in the level drain Nikola's energy (in progress) when used
- Sunlight recharges the small solar robot.
In Game
Nikola, the robot, can't do much - mostly just push boxes and use energy or give it to other objects (in progress) to activate switches and open doors. Various platforms and objects make movement harder or easier.
Failing
If Nikola falls down somewhere, you have the choice to end the game or repeat the level as many times as you want.

Dear n-c0de-r,
I hope you’re doing well! My name is Emi, 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, "Batr-E" 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 "Batr-E" 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.
