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.
