Jeff Minter is back with another unique take on a 1980s Atari arcade game: I, Robot. Reimagined in Minter鈥檚 signature assault of colors, shapes and sounds, this new take on the eclectic arcade title is built from the ground up with new challenges, new twists, and a whole lot of llamas.
The premise of I, Robot is simple: You take control of an ox-headed robot on a mission to outwit the all-seeing eye. In each level, you鈥檒l navigate across tiles, flipping each tile to proceed to the next. Make sure you don鈥檛 jump while the eye鈥檚 watching, or you鈥檒l be zapped away in a flash. If you make it across the tiles, you鈥檒l race down a tube blasting away any enemy shapes that move into your path and try to stop you. And you have to do all this inside of the 3D space of Minter鈥檚 kaleidoscopic visualizer.
Don鈥檛 get too comfortable, Minter has also thrown in some arena levels that challenge you to pick out and blast an onslaught of lethal enemies.
At its core it is a game that only Llamasoft could have made. A cacophony of colors dazzle your eyes as the music gradually builds up based on your progress. If you want to take a break from the arcade action, jump into the ungame, where you can channel your inner Jeff Minter and play around with all the sights and sounds from the game.
