Automaton Kingdom

Description

Is a 2D auto-chess puzzle game featuring two distinct phases: the **Edit Phase** and the **Play Phase**. In the Edit Phase, players strategically place characters across the map, customizing parameters like direction, inventory, and team. Direct interaction with game objects—such as ladders, levers, or team assignments—is possible here. The Play Phase then simulates automated interactions, where characters act independently, solving puzzles through movement and environmental manipulation. The game offers diverse characters with unique abilities. The **Adventurer** moves freely, interacts with levers, and opens doors with keys. The **Knight** breaks fragile floors and crushes obstacles with a hammer. The **Backpacker** holds more items, aiding allies, while the **Archer** fires non-arrow projectiles like keys. The **Assassin** excels in combat but lacks item-carrying capacity, and the **Smith/Mechanic** repairs objects using available parts. Each character's role shapes the puzzle-solving.
