Rotarrrgh
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
My submission for GMTK game jam 2026.
THE GAME:
Giant firefighting robots are working a part-time library shift. However! Two clocks are always ticking against them - their battery charge and the *countdown* to the next wildfire, and neither job is allowed to slide!
ALWAYS! COUNTING! DOWN! ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!
CONTROLS:
- move the robot
- interact — serve a patron, stamp, pick up / drop a book
- Watch your battery!
- Watch out for fires - those arsonists and careless campers are weirdly punctual!?
