RoboBlitz is an indie puzzle action video game for Microsoft Windows through Steam and the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade. The game was developed by Naked Sky Entertainment and released on November 7, 2006. It was the first Unreal Engine 3 game alongside Gears of War to be released.
Gameplay[edit]
The player controls Blitz, a robot who attains special upgrade weapons and powers to fight his foes, based upon how much "Upgradium" he can find in the game. Special powers include unique weapon, energy and movement upgrades.
Development[edit]
RoboBlitz uses a middleware tool developed by Allegorithmic to store its textures procedurally.[1] This technique is used to make the game file size smaller, the actual game is less than 50 megabytes on Xbox Live.
