Robot Toast

Introduction

Robot Toast is our effort to take a fun to play prototype we created and improve on it. There are many features and a lot of polish being applied, and we are very excited for how it will turn out!

Gameplay is based on the purity of movement through a two dimensional space. The goal in Robot Toast is simply to make it to the end of each level, but there will be many challenges to overcome to get there. Movement will be precise and rewarding, with many options and tools at the player's disposal. Both explorative play and time trials (speed runs) will be our focus, and the combination should allow for great replayability.

We are currently in mid-development of the game, with no release date currently set. Stay tuned though, we will be updating this site with more information soon!

Story

The year, unknown - time, no longer relevant. Concepts that once gave strength to the foundations of perception are crumbling. Dimensions are blurring and realities are breaking. The Device, an enormous construct of unimaginable power built eons ago by a forgotten race is decaying. Once a tool for pan-dimensional travel; a vehicle for alternate and parallel reality traversal, The Device is in dire need of maintenance. Parts have ripped open the fabric of reality as they struggle continuously to function, and exist now not within The Device, but in those realities they permeated.

Archives on board have become corrupted, but those that are retrievable document the creation of The Device's power source. A machine of this magnitude requires a supply of unimaginable power. No conventional energy source would suffice, so The Creators captured and imprisoned a supreme being they refer to only as "The Ancient One." Locked into place this ageless being has acted as a power source to The Device ever since. Information about a maintenance system exists, but much of it is irretrievable. A series of mechanical beings were created to provide routine checks of everything on board The Device. The logs show it has been some time since this maintenance system has been activated.

With the lines that divide realities becoming blurred and parts of The Device invading those and other dimensions, the existence of matter itself is threatened. As The Device intrudes on these parallel realities it has begun to lose grip on it's own. The barriers that hold The Ancient One in place are weakening. Should The Ancient One escape - should The Device lose it's source of power, the resulting chaos will collapse space-time, destroying not only The Device but the very fabric of existence.
