RobotJack is a grid-based action game inspired by GBA games. Controls have been updated to fit modern touchscreens.
Controls:
Controls are divided into two halves; each half of the screen (left / right) registers commands in different ways.
The left half of the screen is for movement. Drag your thumb and Jack will follow to the nearest tile, or tap a tile to jump to it.
The right half of the screen controls your attacks, and listens for four directional swipes.
Up swipe: Use Ability (center icon at the top of the screen)
Right / Left swipe: Rotate through the 5 abilities in your hand (tiered icons at top of the screen)
Down swipe: Basic Attack. Hold finger down after swiping to continue attacking. Hitting enemies with your basic attack will lower the cooldown of whatever ability is in your center slot.
The game is a gauntlet of levels with different enemy combinations. At the end of each level, if you still stand you will have the choice between healing to full health, or adding the abilities of the enemies you fought in this level to your deck.
This game was an 8-week project to familiarize myself with native android development. No external APIs were used.
