Here at GumballTech, we are huge fans of indie gaming and the indie development scene. One of our close friends is releasing an iPhone and iPad game, and they need your help! RoboArena is a casual strategy game that was inspired by the classic board game RoboRally and the 90’s video game RoboSport. The developers are raising funds to finish the game, help them reach their on Kickstarter and spread the word! Read on for more info on this super cool looking game!

We love casual strategy games, and when there’s online multiplayer thrown in… well that’s just a little slice of heaven! Here’s an exerpt from their webpage:

A menacing space station has appeared in orbit above the Earth. On board, an army of evil robots is being assembled to invade the planet. Meanwhile, a lone discarded Robo wakes up with a fresh perspective… saving humanity! Can you help our Hero escape the space station and put an end to the evil robot’s nefarious plot? Find out in RoboArena, a new game for the iPhone, iPad, and other devices!

RoboArena is a Top Down Turn Based Casual Strategy Multiplayer Action Game (TDTBCSMAG for short). Inspired by the board game classic Robo Rally, it will be a unique blend of strategy, puzzles, action, and casual fun! You play the part of a small Robo who has woken up in an evil factory designed to create a robot army to take over the world. Your mission is to help the little Robo to escape from this factory and stop the evil plot before it’s too late.

As you play, you must use an increasing arsenal of weapons, armors, and skills to solve puzzles, dodge evil robot drones, and destroy key computers to stop this evil factory. Additionally you will be able to test you skills against advanced AI players as well as humans in Arena and Multiplayer modes where players hunt each other, try to predict their targets moves, lay traps, and avoid enemies across random battlefields in a game of cloak-and-dagger chess. We have developed a unique casual style of game play that will push your planning and strategizing skills to the limit.

A few more features we found include:

• 4 player online multiplayer mode with GameCenter support
• 30 single player levels
• Over 15 unique weapons and armors
• Endless replayability against computerized opponents in Arena mode

How cool does that sound? I can remember playing RoboSport a long time ago, and it rocked. We want to see this game made!! Head on over to the RoboArena Kickstarter page for more info and videos! Help them out if you can, we need to support our local indie developers!!
