Blaster bots

Run and gun through 2 levels of robots, then beat the boss. Charge shots, spread gun, checkpoints.

How to play Blaster bots

Blaster bots is a run and gun platformer across two levels. Move with the arrow keys or A and D, jump with the up arrow, W or the space bar, and fire your blaster with the action key. Shoot robots as you run and jump through the level, and grab the spread gun for a wider blast. Hold the fire button to charge a stronger shot, then release it on a tough enemy. Touch the checkpoint so you respawn there if you take a hit. Reach the end of each level and beat the boss to win.

Tips

Grab the spread gun early, it clears groups of robots fast
Charge a shot before a boss appears so you open with big damage
Jump and fire at the same time to clear flyers without stopping
Hit the checkpoint, it saves you a long walk back after a hit

About Blaster bots

Two tight levels, a chargeable blaster, a spread gun pickup and a boss fight give you the full arcade shooter loop in a few minutes. No download, no login, just run, jump and blast.
