Plan your route on a 2D map during the strategy phase, conserving battery power as you plot ahead. Switch to action mode and race through winding corridors, wielding a pistol for precision or a shotgun to clear rogue robots while shielding your charge. Activate bullet-time for sharper shots, and rely on the robot duo-BURT for energy supply and IRN-E for defense-to collect spare batteries and escape the virus-hit factory.
This free-to-play indie action-strategy game flips escort missions with its planning-execution split across three maps of rising difficulty, plus a tutorial. New obstacles and enemies challenge progress, tracked by scorekeeping and online leaderboards on PC. Players who enjoy tactical shooting paired with cerebral path-plotting will find a fresh duo-based challenge.
Introducing the first-ever strategic escort shooter where you plan your path before grabbing your gun! Gameplay is split in two phases: planning and execution. When planning, you map your route on a 2D map while using battery power as you plot your path. In the action phase, you race down winding corridors and gun down rogue robots that impede your path while protecting your
charge from harm. The completion of each level is dependent on the cooperation of a robot duo as one provides the power while the other provides the protection.

Premise
A virus has spread throughout an automated robot assembly factory, causing the entire production of robots to go rogue. Two service robots BURT (Battery Utility Robot Transporter) and IRN-E (Industrial Reparative Net-Engineer) are the only ones unaffected by the virus. BURT is a moving battery robot who transports and supplies energy while IRN-E is a highly-functional maintenance robot. These two must work together by making use of their functions to gather any spare batteries strewn throughout the factory so they can fight their way out.
