By now, you most likely have heard kids talking about something called "M-BIRSIO" and sometimes just shout "MM... BIRSIO! MM... BIRSIO!" while drooling. Well, now you can find out what it is by inserting this new exciting cart from Tic Tac Toad in your PICO-8.

MICRO MURDER ( but it's robots so it's OK ) is a game of ballistic extermination for 1 or 2 tactical modules, organic or otherwise. Assert your domination over four pictoresque and extremely resource-rich celestial bodies using a flexible arsenal designed to fit any situation.

INSTRUCTIONS

MICRO MURDER: But It's Robots So It's OK is an artillery duel game. Your mission is to destroy all enemy robots.

Use the controller to move around. (Up) and (down) changes the aim. (x) to jumps and (o) opens up the popup menu. Hold (o) and push the joypad into any of the four cardinal directions to select options. E.g. hold (o) and (down) to fire.

Try to use the best suitable weapon for different situations. Try to bounce enemy robots into the surrounding water/lava/lemonade in case you can't simply explode them into spare parts. Use the Digger to dig tunnels for you to hide into or shoot through.

If you still are stumped, play a few games against the AI to see useful tactics.
