Cats on Robot | 猫猫上机

Cats are enemies of Robotic Vacuum. They would try whatever they can to prevent the robot from functioning. Luckily, they could not break the machine, and our humble machine could just work on trashes, as long as time permit .. Or, if there is no trash produced?

小猫咪能有什么坏心眼呢?除了会调戏扫地机器人。幸好猫咪还不会搞破坏,只会让机器人走慢一点。但是,老鼠会干嘛呢?


Operations | 操作

Collect all the trashes (paper balls) on the ground and shoot them into the trash bin within Time limit.

控制机器人收集纸团,并在规定时间内把纸团发射到地图上的垃圾桶里。


Use " WSAD" to move the robot. Move mouse to aim, and left-click to shoot. Press space to "Shake" cats off the machine if they attach. The number of shakes are shown on bottom-right corner.

使用"W,S,A,D"键控制机器人“上,下,左,右”移动。移动鼠标改变机器人对准方向。按下鼠标左键发射收集到的纸团。按下空格键可以发动“摇动”技能将粘附的猫咪甩开。摇动技能数量限制在右下角显示。


Cats would chase the rat, but can barely reach it. Only when cats are riding on the robot could they reach and get rid of the rat who produces trashes.

猫咪会追逐老鼠,但很难追上。只有粘在机器人上时,借助机器人的掩护,才能靠近消灭老鼠。老鼠会制造垃圾,如果不加控制,则游戏很难结束。

This popped up when I tried opening the downloaded game folder: Application folder: C:/Users/hp/Downloads/CatsonRobot/CatsOnRobot_released_final. There should be 'CatsOnRobot_Data' folder next to the executable

So i followed Ecore's action of playing it in web version, but in web version, the screen shown is not full somehow which disturbed my full understanding and enjoyment of the game. Also, sometimes, when my robot has shaken them cats off, it still moves like it was being dragged still, and when I brought the cats to the rat, none of them want to attack it. They'd rather hang on me ahhaha, which is a nuisance.

On the bright side, the setting is really beautifully made, that they are so satisfying. I like the art style same goes with the game picture. It is attractive and quite distinguished. The music fits the mood nicely, sound effect is not excessive (very appropriate) and I have no problem with the control so far. This is quite an enjoyable game actually.

Good Job DennisLiu :)
