About this game

Herobotix is a 1986 shooter in which players control a Herobot sent into an Alliance of Space Pilots base. The mission is to recover all six parts of the dangerous Z-Ray weapon and download important data from the main computer.

The maze-like base features energy barriers, conveyor belts, switches, and terminals. Terminals can temporarily stop conveyor belts and display a small map of the surrounding area. Twelve types of enemy droids attack in different ways, including following set paths, charging the Herobot, and firing weapons.

The Herobot can use its weapon against enemies or deploy an energy bomb that destroys everything onscreen while consuming half of its energy.
