Nikki and the Robots - Alpha 0.3.1 - WinXP/Vista/7
Jun 11, 2011 Full Version 1 commentLatest release of Nikki and the Robots: Better OSD, no more Slow Motion Bug!
In a fictional world of the future the infamous super villain Dr. Lacroix schemes to seize world supremacy with his army of robots. You take the role of Nikki and try to cross those evil plans on behalf of a secret organization. Your quest will take you to various locations: from futuristic metropolises to submarine facilities, floating islands, and even as far as orbital space.
Nikki and the Robots renders homage to the classical platform games of the eighties and nineties, while at the same time realizing a unique gameplay idea. The main character Nikki refrains from using any weapons or equipment during the whole quest, and can only jump and run around the levels. However, it is possible to hack into Dr. Lacroix's various robots and to take control of them via computer terminals. The nifty use of the robots and the combination of their characteristic special abilities enable Nikki to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and complete the level tasks.
The alpha version of "Nikki and the Robots" is now available!

Nice Done! But the Alpha just ran slowly on my Windows 7 32Bit, is there any solution?
Same problem here (everything is slomo)! I have Win 7 64bit...
Awesome :D
The game is shaping up really nicely. I love how you guys decided to implement tight physics while still keeping the new retro look. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
One question though, how big will the story mode be? In other words, would you consider the game worth buying if someone were to buy it purely for the story episodes? I'm asking this because I'm pretty terrible level designer, so I'm not sure if I will be spending a whole lot of time with the level editor.
The story mode will feature 12 levels with a lot of original content and many surprises. A lot of our development time is dedicated to this mode. So, we think it will be very much worth buying! ;)
Also, we are planning to set up a level server for the free and open-source part of the game, so that you can download levels created by other players. So you will be able to play a lot of community levels without actually using the level editor yourself.
We would like to thank everybody for the nice comments and the good feedback! We are working very hard to ensure that "Nikki and the Robots" will be an awesome game... We hope you all keep following the developments!
Nikki looks nice ^_^
Looks good :D I'm excited because there are a lot of indie games in the making that support Linux :D I think I will spend money in this

I love the style. You can tell it is futuristic. Great neon work with pixels. It's cute and it's beautiful. Tracking.
