else: explode

"else: explode" is a puzzle game about navigating explosive robots through simple mazes. Sounds simple enough, but the only control you have over the robots is changing the simple rules they follow; and once they've set off, they're completely out of your control.

This is simple at first, but the difficulty quickly scales as the robots aren't the only thing moving around the mazes...

How do I get it?

The game is available for Windows via the download at the bottom of the page. It's written in java so will require a java installation to run. (Theoretically everything involved is cross platform, so give it a go on different operating systems, but this game was made solo in a game jam, so hasn't been tested on anything other than Windows)

How do I play it?

All you need to play this game is a mouse. You give the robots instructions by clicking on the icons in their code, and then click a button to send them off into the world. That's all there is to it! There are 15 levels which unlock as you complete them.
