About this game

Cybotron is a single-screen shooter viewed from a high elevated angle, inspired by Robotron 2084. Players must destroy every robot on the screen to progress to the next level.

The player controls movement and firing direction separately using two joysticks. A laser is available for combat, while contact with a robot costs one of three lives. Humans move around the screen and can be collected for bonus points.
