JAM BUILD IMPORTANT NOTES

- The game is in a pretty unfinished state, but you can still mess around a bit.

- We only really got one level in, and it's more of a test room than a level, so it'll be super hard to know what you can do or how. Gonna throw a break down on all the mechanics here since we didn't make the mark on getting tutorial levels done.
- BTW / BAD BUG in game. When you step off a button, it starts playing a music track instead of it's proper sound effect. Recommend muting when this starts. : (

FRIENDS LIKE THESE HOW TO PLAY
-You can control Fritz with WASD to move around. 
You have two robots in the room with you, one little guy and one big one.

They each can be in "LOVE MODE" or "KILL MODE" at the press of a button.
However, a glitch occurred and each of your bots are outta sync. To put one in love mode, you'll be switching the other bot to kill mode. Each bot has different ways that it can help you ( solve puzzles ) & different behaviors chasing you.  The key to the gameplay is to stay safe from the kill mode robot while using the love mode to help you solve puzzles. Then swapping modes when you need the other one. You'll need to plan your swaps so you don't immediately get attacked when you hit the button.


BIG BOT

Love Mode - Can be used to push big blocks, hold down buttons, block doorways, and stop projectiles with his invincible body.

Kill Mode - If you're reachable, it'll chase you directly and try to kick you. If its path is cut off, it'll go for a good spot to set up and pull out its gun to guard the area.

* Typically can run around and away from it when it's in kill mode if you're careful.
* You can also press "I" key to drop a distractor hologram to get it off you.

LIL BOT

Love Mode - Will follow you closely. Can be commanded to go through vents. Point to a vent when he's near you. If you and lil bot are on opposite sides of a vent, you can call to him through the vent. ( press "J" at vent). Can step on buttons. 

Kill Mode - Chases you relentlessly with a big wrench. Swings when it gets close. You'll have to keep moving or find a way to cut it off to get away.  

*Typically want to leave this bot trapped in a room to keep it from being able to get you. However you can use your zapper ( "L" key ) to shock it and slow it down.

ENVIRONMENT STUFF

Buttons can operate doors or lasers. Some need pressed once, some need held down.

Vents can be used by the little robot to get to the other side.

Doors need opened with a button or electric node. Some open automatically for humans only.

Electric Nodes  can only be pushed with your zapper. They slide across the ground until they hit a wall or solid object. Get them to a Reactor to open doors or power things on.
