“Is your television running? Yes? Good. That flying robot junk monster does not look friendly.”
This is a new game from French indie developer Slak Games calledMechanic Infantry. It’s a simple, 2D platformer where you control a TV monitor with limbs and a wrench. Your goal is to reach the exit of each stage and rescue five of your buddies along the way. To press the urgency of the matter, you’re also chased through levels by malevolent mechanical beasts.
The complete game will feature more than fifty levels and additional game modes. It’s expected to release sometime in the next month. Right now, there is ademowith five stages available for you to check out. I’ve played through this demo and I rather like it. The constant pressure of the oncoming enemy is delightful and the visual style appeals to me because TVs with legs remind me ofTwonky.
