About SYNCH

In the apocalyptic wastelands of the future, with nothing but scrap and corrosive acid pervading the landscape, derelict robots work together to survive an otherworldly menace that threatens to destroy the feeble communities that manage to scrape by. It takes a band of bots to fend off one's foreign foes. Choose your perfect team of bots to take down the evil boss bot and his floating flunkies!

Features:
  • 5 Bot Classes: Customize your own team to fit your favorite play style
    > TracerBot: The sharpshot. She gets them right in the knee and primes targets for damage from teammates.
    > BerzerkBot: The bulldozing beast. He has dreams of becoming a rhino, but alas, his head bears no horn, despite his huge metal frame.
    > AcidBot: The potionsmaster. Insists that the world would be better off drenched in acid.
    > PullBot: The professional hugger. He'll pull you close, even from a distance, and get you right where he wants you.
    > CreatorBot: The lonely mad scientist. She tarries away the day, making a buddy to bloody the fields (or dismantle, whichever).

"SYNCH" is a student project from the Christian Baylor University in Waco, Texas. This year the students failed the course, and this is because the teachers failed the students. If I was teaching a game development class, I guess I would have to make sure to instruct the students that 3D graphics cards became mainstream in the mid 1990s... and that pixelcrap was discarded by professional developers the exact same time monitors capable of higher than 480p resolution were on the market. Failing to instruct the students in the basic state of the art for computer game development is failing as a teacher. What do you do in the game? This year the students made a 2D top down retro pixel turn based strategy games... reasonably shallow with just a handful of units, small maps, no meaningful plot... this might have some legs if the technical delivery was remotely contemporary, but I have no idea what was going through the teachers minds at Baylor. "I played a video game on a Commodore 64 once, so clearly I am qualified to teach students in 2017 from that experience." This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics.

Игра «SYNCH» — это необычная головоломка, где ключевой элемент — синхронизация действий. Визуальная привлекательность и оригинальная механика заставляют задуматься о каждом шаге. Игровой процесс требует внимательности и стратегического подхода, но сложность может отпугнуть новичков. Минус — короткая продолжительность. Однако для любителей нестандартных задач «SYNCH» станет приятным испытанием.
