Gameplay
The player controls Blitz, a technician robot who must navigate through six three part sectors to power up an orbital space cannon and stop a new looming NEOD threat. Each sector has a multitude of enemies and a singular physics based puzzle per stage, as well as 'upgradium' pickups that can be used to expand Blitz' utilities, movement, and weaponry.
Development
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.
