A downloadable game

In Shoestring Robotics, you play as Jim, a robot whose limbs are barely joined together through string. 

Jim has amazing powers, like a grapple hook and a super fast dash, however if he gets hit then he loses connection to a limb, leaving it dragging around the place!

Carefully guide Jim to the depths of the cave, and remember... a loose limb will slap you where it hurts!


This game took about 29 hours to develop, with most of the programming done by myself. Jim's sprites, enemy sprites, hazard sprites and the game's logo was done by myself as well. Massive shout-out to opengameart.org which has the credit for the rest of the art and the game's sound.
