About Robot Band

This is a music toy rather than a game with a score. A troop of robots stands in Trastevere, and their bodies are the instrument: touch different parts of them, move the sliders, and a techno beat builds out of what you did.

There is nothing to lose and nothing to finish, so the interest is in finding a combination you like and then pulling it apart again. The visuals move with the sound. It suits a few unhurried minutes more than a session. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.

How to play

  1. Touch a part of a robot to bring in its sound.
  2. Move the sliders to change what the band is playing.
  3. Layer the robots until the beat sounds the way you want.
  4. Strip it back and build something else.

Controls

Tap or clickEverything. One input does the whole game.

Tips

  • Add one robot at a time. Everything at once sounds the same as everything at once.
  • Play it with headphones. The detail in the layers is the whole point of the thing.
