Lode Runner

Lode Runner is the heartwarming tale of a wiseass alien who raids a robot mining colony, stealing treasure and anthropomorphic fruit and murdering all who get in his way.

It’s sort of like the movie There Will Be Blood. They have a milkshake and he has a milkshake, but instead of a straw he has a shovel, and instead of drinking their milkshake he buries them alive.

Also, mass graves and group suicides!

The robots are generally dumb as a rock, which left me with the warm and fuzzy feeling of having picked on something smaller than myself. However, it should be noted that there are opportunities for failure.
