The game must include a robot in some capacity. If you missed this contest, you can still enter the Game Design Contest for Students with a grand prize of $1000.

"I have played video games for as long as I can remember. I have always enjoyed drawing and doing creative work. After taking up programming, I found game development to be a great creative outlet that combines my creative and my technical side. I have made a few small games before but “Robob” is the biggest and most time-consuming game project that I have worked on. I like arcade platforming games and I focused the gameplay on this when I started developing “Robob” said Contest Winner, Jack O. “I had to teach myself a lot of things in Unity to create the game and often I would have to think of multiple ways to tackle a certain issue when one approach did not work.”
