You are an archer who have to defend a castle from dragons. The game is still a WIP but the current version is playable.

RockBot is supposed to become a multi-platform action game and borrows elements from Capcom’s Megaman.

Releases notes:

It is with pride, that we announce the beta 6 version. The new features are too many to be listed here, but we basically have now a complete stage with boss (still non-movable once we did not finished implementing the artificial inteligence for it), got weapon screens, sounds, music and pretty decent physics.

We created versions for Ubuntu 10.04 (the editor requires Qt 4.7.0), Linux (TGZ), Windows (finally with editor package), Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS.
