Laserboy is a tiny experimental game. Help Buddy reach the end of 13 levels as quickly as possible without damaging too much expensive lab equipment or personnel. The catch? You have a tactical laser shooting out of your eye every 5 seconds. Good luck!

How to Play

Your character can move around in the level but there’s no jumping or controlled shooting so it’s important to use the tactical beam, well, tactically. While a fast level time and low bill total will improve your score rating, you can play this game any way you like. Lots of people just take their time and destroy stuff, or look for the odd secret.

From the Devs

This was a ridiculous game jam idea we turned into a small passion project, and we’re just happy it exists. We hope you find something for you in it and if not that’s cool too. Feel free to join our discussions page. Say hi, share your thoughts, or ask for help. Glorbo welcomes!
