A game where you defend a makeshift radio from ancient alien robots by assembling your own robot army, try to survive until rescue arrives. Solve puzzles of varying complexity in order to make robots function.

I ran low on time for the jam, as I started with 1 day remaining, so I've got only a prototype so far, nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. I'm planning to develop this more soon as well. So stick around.

Backstory: It's 2034, you're an expert roboticist, who can easily assemble, program, and activate robots. You like to keep your high-tech ultra-multitool on hand, as you value it highly, plus, never know when it might come in handy. After a few weeks of hard work, you decide to go on a vacation, so with your hard-earned money, you fly to a land with huge, untouched by humans, jungles. With your slightly egotistical mind, you decide that no help will be needed for you to explore the jungle, so you venture in. Though soon you discover yourself to be lost. After wandering aimlessly for some time, you discover a piece of scrap. "Ugh, litterers, " you think to yourself, until you realise in front of you is a whole field of various scrap parts. Excited, you use your multitool and the scrap to cobble up a makeshift radio, and manage to contact an emergency rescue station, which you ask for help, which they gladly send, telling you to keep the radio on so they can navigate to you. Suddenly, you hear a strange alarm, and realize there's a huge abandoned temple in front of you. Strangely, despite the temple looking to be of alien origin, a robotic voice talking in English can be heard: "UNKNOWN RADIO TRANSMISSION DETECTED, ACTIVATING DEFENSE SYSTEMS.".
