Static Lifeline

Update 8/11/2023: Characters will no longer fall through the map. Camera animations have been smoothed out. Difficulty reduced in some levels.

Description

Take control of two robots and utilize their powers to do combat and solve puzzles across 8 levels. The robots have a limited amount of battery that can be shared when the robots connect with one another.

• One robot has a freeze gun that will freeze enemies and can be used to shield the other robot as well as flip blue switches.
• The other robot moves faster and can deal damage to enemies. Attacking frozen enemies deals 4 times more damage.

Controls:

*Controls can be changed within the settings menu under 'controls'*

• W = Jump
• A = Move Left
• D = Move Right
• F = Interact / share power
• Tab = Swap player
• Esc = Toggle full screen

Tips:

• Shielding the combat robot will keep it safe during combat encounters
• Make sure you have enough power to clear an area before attempting it
• If you need to restart a level, you will need to go to settings, graphics, then click 'main menu'
