Everything in your Toybox can be placed around the desktop to create any sort of situation you want.

Toy Robo is an Action-Adventure Shooter that requires quick hands and engaging strategy. You play as Toy Robo, a robot action figure on the side of good. Your goal is to rid the world of evil toys which appear only at night. You will do this in Arena style combat using your Blaster and Energy sword. To help you along your way, you can equip several types of batteries, each with different combat effects and
bonuses.

This game was developed as an entry to the gamedev.net 4e4 contest which required that it encorporate at least 2 of the following four elements (elements of which ALL games are apparently made of): pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies.

I opted for robots and zombies because robots are easy to model and zombies are easy to animate ^_^

The contest had a 6 month time limit, so I wanted to make sure I didn't bite off more then I could chew. In the end I came in 2nd out of at least 20 - the 1st place finisher was developed by 5 people! so even though I didn't win I felt like the game did very well and the process was rewarding.

Belowe are a few screen shots and the game download.

Inspired by the classic wooden toy, "Lost in the Labyrinth" has you guide your ball through the 3D maze from start to finish by tilting the playing surface. Sounds simple, right? Think again! Watch where you roll. Dodge holes and bumpers while trying to get to the goal as fast as you can. With over 30 levels to play, race the clock and beat the computer's best time, then beat your best time. When you're ready, challenge a friend to a head-to-head race. Will you get lost in the Labyrinth?
