Beer Boy is in a fight against a Giant Robot.

Your role as the player reverses between these two characters.

Once the timer runs out, if the character you are in control of (Beer Boy or Giant Robot) has more points than the other, you win. Otherwise you lose and don't get a score. You cannot predict which character you will end with because the reverses are random with 5 second warnings. These warnings appear in a box to the left of the timer.

If you're having trouble noticing the reverses, the buttons for the Giant Robot's attacks show up in the bottom right when you are in control of it. They disappear when you are controlling the player. I had plans for a better indicator, but forgot to put it on the Trello Board I was using (So I forgot).

The points gained by both characters are added up to the final score if you win.

The game requires you to manipulate it in order to get the maximum amount of damage dealt to each character while making sure the character you are in control of has the most points by the end.

There are three weak points on the Giant Robot which are colored light blue or teal. Aim for these points to deal damage to the Giant Robot as Beer Boy.
The weak points appear during the Giant Robot's attacks.

I haven't slept in over 24 hours. This is the longest I haven't slept in my life. This is also the first ever Game Jam I've finished (This is the second Game Jam I've ever participated in).
No Sleep = Finished Game
