## What is Tarzabot?

Tarzabot is a short, circular robot who rolls around on 3 wheels. As you begin to control Tarzabot, you will quickly realize where he gets his name from because his 3 wheels aren’t his only means of getting around. He has grapple hooks that can be shot out of his arms with a simple tap on screen. When the grapple hooks hit structures or trees, Tarzabot retracts his cable to pull himself towards the structural targets. When Tarzabot's grapple hooks hit enemies it damages them.

Tarzabot can extract energy from enemy bots. He does not have any real weapons, you can only rely on his grapple hooks, you must try to dodge projectiles and damage Tarazabot's enemies by means of the grapple hooks and cleaver maneuvering alone. The game should feel unique with a new and liberating style of movement.


Please not that during the first play of the game, there is a quick tutorial explaining how to control Tarzabot.

### 3/5 — Very interesting idea but..

*2019-11-29*

I like the idea and the animations are neat..controls are a bit difficult however.

Maybe controls not relying on tapping would be better.. (trying to attack a robot with many taps is difficult if trying to avoid shots  at the same time).

Adding functionality to “swing” and perhaps coast in the air from momentum while grappling to another “hook” area would be a bonus..
