【LD44】Hajime No Botto

Description

Step into the intense arena of Hajime No Botto, a fast-paced robot combat game made for Ludum Dare 44. Face off against a rival in a high-stakes death match where strategy and timing are key. Monitor both your status and your opponent's on the HUD—red panels show your condition, blue panels track the enemy. Choose your attacks wisely: target the CPU to slow their cooldown, the Battery to increase their damage output, or the Weapons to disable their offensive options. Heavy weapons deal massive damage but drain energy and require longer cooldowns. Hold defense to reduce damage, recharge systems, and restore CPU and weapon functionality—at the cost of battery power. Destroying the CPU or Battery completely knocks out your opponent. Built in Godot as a first-time experiment, this compact fighter delivers tight mechanics and retro-futuristic action. Despite its limited scope, Hajime No Botto offers a solid foundation for future expansions.
