About
Pico-Tron is my second Pico-8 game, and is an homage to the arcade classic Robotron, with a few extra twists added. Battle your way through 21 stages of chaos and destroy the evil genius Eugene!

Destroy These Things

Tips

Keep moving! It's easier for enemy homing shots to hit you if you're not moving.
Prioritise the most deadly enemy types on each stage.
Keep your distance from fast enemies that move unpredictably.
A bonus is awarded on each stage if you collect all innocents before destroying a single enemy.
To score high, you need to quickly eliminate the enemy that destroys the innocents.
If you focus only on score, the game will be much more difficult!
