Annoying Robots

A compact WASM-4 adaptation of an old board game.

How to play

Lead your team of robots across the board and try to reach the opposite side before your opponent does.

Robots come in different sizes: larger robots can climb onto smaller ones, but only the top robot in a stack can move.

On your turn, select a robot and either move it one space, jump over other robots, or jump onto smaller robots. Jumps can be chained, like in checkers.

Modes

1. Play against the AI on Easy, Medium, or Hard
2. 2P LOCAL — two players on one device (hot-seat, pass the keyboard each turn)
3. 2P NETPLAY — two players online via WASM-4 netplay (shown automatically when a netplay session is active)

Online multiplayer (netplay)

1. Host: start the cart and press Enter → Copy Netplay URL in the WASM-4 menu, and send the link to your opponent.
2. Guest: open the link — you join as Player 2 (circles).
3. Host: once the other player joins select 2P NETPLAY.
4. Play proceeds turn by turn, each player can only act on their own turn.

Roles: Player 1 (host) = squares, top side. Player 2 (guest) = circles, bottom side.

Controls

• Arrow keys / D-pad: Move cursor
• Z: Select / move / act
• X: Help, end turn, or return to menu

The in-game help screen explains the rules as well.

Have fun!
