Trottinator is a Tower Defense game where you have to protect the city from the on coming invasion of scooter riders, these range in speed from the one foot scooting style to the faster peddling kind, who are all intent on draining the city of it's power.
Visually the game is very retro and has a similar look and feel to the Pixel Ripped franchise, especially with the vector grid surrounding the city, the city itself is laid out encircling you with 5 roads that lead to the main tower in the centre. There are five increasingly difficult levels in total and after the third you will really need to find a balance between placing your weaponry along the roads as attacks can alternate between each one or come at the same time.
You have a choice of 3 weapons, the turret which can be placed on top of certain buildings along side the roads, the slapper, yes that's right slapper which you can place on the road and the exploding drone which sprays goo on the rod to slow scooters down before self detonating. The turrets and the slappers have energy bars which deplete as they are used, so it is important to place them wisely, after a while they will regenerate their power and come back online.
Control using the touch controllers is simple, shown as hands in game, energy levels are shown on the back of the left hand and hand held controller allowing you to manage and place your weapons in your right hand.
This is a short but fun Tower Defence game, that looks and plays nicely and is a real challenge midway through that may take a few playthroughs to perfect weapon placing, but once completed, other than beating your score, not sure what incentive there is to return.
