Warroid

Most popular release in Week 3

Warroid

As the pilot of the United Nation's new FX1-BS weapon, you fall from the moon land land on Earth, now occupied by the Exoa aliens, and must defeat as many of their own warroids as possible. Warroid pits two players (or one player and the AI) against each other in a robot versus robot fight. Your goal: shoot the enemy until it has no energy left! Destroying the enemy warroid will give the victor one point on the six-point scale (players start out with three points each). Once all points are lit in the player's color, the player wins the game. Each warroid auto-aims their weapon fire, but kick attacks only work at close range. There are multiple platform-laden levels for players to fight in. You can also press the escape key to bring up a menu for setting handicaps and changing warroid colors. [Expanded from MobyGames]
