About Project Bolt
Project Bolt takes place in the future where cities are built upon layer and layer of subterranean substructures where all the manual labor is performed by robots. Our hero, Blip, is just another of many worker-bots until fate drops a set of headphones down the garbage chute. When he decides to place the headphones onto his head, Blip enters into the insane world of this thing called "music" and becomes an outlaw amongst his own kind. From his boring workplace Blip must fight against those that would take his headphones away and make it to some place safe.
Now it's up to you to help Blip, navigate through the levels to reach the surface while fighting past the thousands of robots that are trying to stop him. As Blip runs down each hallway level, he must strike enemy robots with the beat of the music.
Blip is intelligent, quick on his feet, and fueled by music and the desire for escape. His sturdy frame and high-powered servo motors allow for amazing feats of martial arts and acrobatics. His head mounted antennae pipe in the thumping techno tracks that keep him going.
Enemies make up the chief gameplay element in Project Bolt. Enemies come in the form of worker robots and security robots that have been diverted from their normal activity to stop Blip's escape from the facility. There are many different varieties that the robots come in, each with their own type of conveyance and form of attack.
There is a plethora of electronic music played during the game. The music ranges from a slow to fast tempo depending on the level, but each level has a constant tempo. Each level has its own unique track, but all the level's music has a cohesive feel.
