SOLAR PUNKS



You control two evil robots sent to destroy a greenhouse and it's plants. The robots alternate jumps with the SPACE bar. Hitting a plant gives you positive points. Hitting a water ball fries your circuits and gives you negative points. You have 1 minute.

You can use A and D or the ARROW keys to move horizontally.


Batteries give you an extra five seconds, but only the yellow robot can catch the yellow batteries and only the red robot can catch the red batteries.


The gardener trapped in the silo will cheer whenever you get hit by water and become sad and worried whenever you hit several plants in sequence.


The leaderboard at the end is INVERTED. Those that fail the hardest, choosing not to destroy the plants but focusing only on the water balls and getting a negative score, progress up the leaderboard.


But you wouldn't go against your prime directive like that, would you? ;)

I love the art style! At first, it was a bit hard to understand how to make one of the bots jump, but after you get it, the fun starts! Good job :D 

Thank you!

neat! games where you control two characters are an interesting space that hasn't been explored enough imo. the visual art is pretty polished and the game is easy to read. good work!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
