Robot Anchovy Kick Challenge

Game Overview

A fast-paced action game where players must defend against Plankton's invading minions by kicking a robotic anchovy into oblivion. The core mechanic involves precise timing and rapid spacebar presses to build power and launch projectiles.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Power Gauge System

Rapid Pressing: Quickly tap the spacebar to fill the power gauge and build launch momentum
Precision Meter: A timing-based mechanic where you must hit spacebar when the cursor aligns with the center of the meter for optimal power

Projectile System

Throwable Objects:
- Plates: Basic bouncing projectile
- Burgers: Heavy objects with knockback effect
- Jellyfish: Special items that create chain reactions
Bounce Physics: Objects interact with the robot anchovy differently to maximize launch distance

Contest Mode Features

Ammunition Management:
- Limited throwable items per level
- Small ammunition refills granted upon level completion
- Strategic resource allocation becomes crucial in later stages

Enemy Mechanics

Plankton's Minions:
- Approach in increasingly difficult patterns
- Different minion types require varied projectile strategies
- Some enemies can only be defeated by specific throwable items

Progression System

Level Advancement:
- Each new level introduces more complex enemy waves
- Environmental obstacles may appear in later stages
- Power gauge fills faster at higher levels, requiring quicker reflexes

Visual Indicators

HUD Elements:
- Clear power gauge visualization
- Precision meter with color-coded timing zones
- Prominent ammunition counter in contest mode
- Level progression tracker

Strategy Tips

Alternate between different projectiles for maximum efficiency
Conserve jellyfish for clustered enemy formations
Master the precision meter timing for critical hits
Prioritize ammunition management in contest mode

This challenging game combines reflexes, timing, and strategic thinking to create an engaging defensive experience against Plankton's mechanical invasion.
