Mops and Bot

Fair Warning, this game is difficult. Was gunning for a cross between a Cuphead plane level and a Contra boss. You are encouraged to mix and match TrooperBot modifications for your preferred playing experience.

After their last adventure, Bot was able to upload his sentience into an available TrooperBot. Hitch a ride as Mr. Mops and outfit Bot’s new getup as you see fit for battle with the space station’s cranky, ancient CRT.

Using Shield consumes your power cell energy if you don’t select infinite shield. There is a chance the boss’ weak-points will spawn extra cells.

Please use the modifications to best fit your ability and desired challenge.

Known Bug:
There is a very slim chance you’ll hit a bug that halts the game … the good/bad news is it only happens if you die while the chasing bullet is out (it’s rare, but can happen). You were dead anyway, I guess! Give it another try. You’ll get that S rank no problem. I found it after submission. Took two minutes to fix, so I will update this page with the new build as soon as ratings for the jam are over.
