If you’re brilliant, you’ll remember Deepak Fights Robots, the frighteningly coloured platformer from the creator of RunMan, Tom Sennett. The sitar-funk-infused madness is reminiscent of Bubble Bobble, with the excellent inclusion of animal friends. And bestest of all, there’s now a slightly limited, ad-supported free web version, so you can play it now and there’s no excuse. (And the full, DRM-free version now costs only $5, half its original price.) Despite the extremely silly presentation, and shades-requiring graphics, there’s a good deal of depth to the game – it’s not just gimmicks but actually a worthy platformer too. It’s a huge pile of fun. Ensure you check out the video below.

Such a fantastic game. Fuck dubstep, more games need Sitar Funk.

it was also covered in the artiicle just before this one, but who reads those, right john?

Yeah… I mean, come on. D:
And even if it’s a super awesome game it’s silly to give it 2 articles in a row.

I had a friend staying for the weekend, and had to do Sunday Papers in the morning, and I’ve had Deepak open in a tab for a week waiting to write about it : (

Today’s post encouraged me to fire up the web version. Excellent. Reminded me of Bubble Bobble, with less dinosaurs.

A tab open for a week! Am I the only one who does reboots everyday?

Nope, so do I. At least we know who to blame for climate change. :)

What? Why would I do that? Do you also flip your circuit breaker every day?

And we shall have to hear about it a third time, for Johnnie Walker is triple distilled.

Distilled in the casket of a real southern colonel!

I like it.

There is some problem with this PC that causes the colors in youtube videos to be wrong (for example, white people have a deep blue skin). Normally this is annoying, but for this video it seems oddly appropriate.

Those ads are hilarious. They’re worse than Evony.

Fight robots discreetly, my Lord.

Excellent game, I played through it twice; a lessthananhour thrill of a ride. While we may not agree on the most fun driving game, Mr Walker has kissed me by posting this up. MWAH right back atcha!

Such a wonderful game. I love every bit of it.

Bubble Bollywood? Sure why not.
Needs two player mode badly.
