A sci-fi flying person vs. robot battle game. A robotic enemy seems to vastly outmatch your necessarily hand-thrown weapons. But as dangerous to you as it is, it can hardly compare to the indigenous robot (a “nuisance”) which roams the flyland. Use EXTREME caution– and patience!
## About This Game
You can fly! Flying is fun, swooping and soaring, going as fast as you want
over, under, around and through things. You point in any direction and your
anti-gravity rings fly you that way. But flying is also very dangerous! Touch
anything, at almost any speed, and you’re dead– splat! Be sure you’ve gone to
episode 0, Ball Game, to learn to fly first! It’s free!
The time is the 26th Century. The place is a ‘flyland,’ an adjustable-gravity,
half-kilometer-square surface high over an ocean, far from any land. This
flyland, Mountain Climb, was the toy of a trillionaire’s son, and is protected
by a laser-armed, motion-sensing biped robot who almost never misses! Approach
it with EXTREME caution. The trillionaire has bought a SphereBot too, to
protect the secret of his son’s death on the flyland.
Most flylands, in fact, were once the playthings of trillionaires, who were
usually enriched by mining the wealth of the solar system using anti-gravity.
The inventor of flylands, and a-grav technology itself, also made an immense
low-gravity space colony, but it became diseased, forcing tens of thousands of
gravity-weakened refugees to invade the only places they could survive–
adjustable-gravity flylands. That invasion was the First Flyland War, which
the trillionaires lost in a day. The Second Flyland War soon followed but the
trillionaires lost again because of their unmitigated greed. However, the
refugees were left defenseless thereafter. Now the Third Flyland War, The
Revenge of the Trillionaires, is beginning and the otherwise helpless refugees
have only one single individual to defend them against the combined robotic
might of a hundred impossibly greedy and angry trillionaires– you. Your only
weapons are hand-thrown, ultra-hot flares, great for wrecking robots if you
can get close enough to hit them. Robots are mighty weapons. But you have
creativity– and… you can fly!
