Clock Work

A clockwork game about building objects! Control the robot and pick the correct items to fulfil the current works order. But watch out for the robots' power meter going down! Build as many objects as you can before the timer runs out!

This was submitted as part of the Rapid Game Prototyping module for my Masters course. We were given a theme at the start of the week, and had until the following week to develop a prototype based on that theme.

The theme for this week was "Wind It Up". I immediately wanted to make some kind of clockwork factory, and then decided to make a Overcooked style game, but with a robot that works in a clockwork factory. The player then has to direct the robot, collect parts according to the current works order, and then feed the parts into a machine that creates the component.

The modifier for this week was, the player input could only be from the mouse. I'd already used a point and click movement system in the previous submission, so basing the whole game on this was relatively simple. I actually won an award for "Best Use of Theme" for this game, so I'm really pleased with this one!
