Leader Robot
As the player is controlling the leader robot it has the abilities to clear out trash in the junkyard and use any object they can find to help as many baby robots escape the junkyard as possible. Other than clearing the way for the baby robots it will also need to place down waypoints that allow the robot to follow it. Due to the isometric camera, it is hard to identify the exact location of floating objects. Both the ping for baby robots and the leader robot has a light pointing at the ground to help the player locate the position of them.
Baby Robots
The baby robots are designed to be simple minded, they can only do one thing which is to follow the waypoints placed by the leader. They have no clue about the layout of the level and can’t detect and avoid threats. They are designed like that which sets the mood and theme for the player, and requires the player to take good lead in order to keep as many babies alive.
