Automata Protocol is a top-down survival shooter set on a procedurally generated island. You pilot a voxel war machine against waves of hostile robots that arrive faster and in greater numbers every minute. Every level-up deals you three upgrade cards and you keep one, so each run builds a different machine. Survive long enough and a boss rises out of the ground to hunt you down.
