Transformers

Robots that want you dead — that's the premise of Transformers, a browser action game that drops you straight into a mechanical warzone with no preamble. Enemy robots swarm from multiple directions, and hesitation is basically a death sentence.

Scattered across the battlefield are power-ups worth chasing: shields absorb punishment when the pressure spikes, while heavier weapons let you tear through clusters of enemies before they close in. The tension comes from deciding when to push forward and when to fall back, since standing still never stays safe for long.

Survival is the score. Every second you last and every robot you destroy pushes your total higher, and that number becomes the thing you're quietly competing against — your own last run, or a friend's best attempt. It's the kind of game that's over before you feel ready, which is exactly why you'll start again.
