Play Sky Robo Online

Sky Robo is one of those arcade games that hooks you in the first 30 seconds. You’re this sleek, nimble robot zipping through neon-lit skies, weaving between floating debris while lasers and missiles whiz past. The controls are tight—tap to dash, hold to charge a beam—and the screen fills up with explosions before you even realize you’re grinning.

What I like is how it doesn’t just throw mindless chaos at you. Some enemies circle in patterns, others dive straight in, so you’ve gotta adjust on the fly. And those boss fights? They start simple, then suddenly the screen splits into three attack phases. Messed me up the first time.

If you’ve ever wasted quarters on old-school shooters, this feels like that—just without the arcade cabinet sticky buttons.
