To be honest it doesn't really anymore, without context. When I first heard robots the only idea that came to me for days was a game where a crane-like robot laid down blocks. I intended to implement this crane-robot in the game. Then decided on a tractor-beam robot which would be explained through "dialogue" with other worker robots. In fact, the story I came up with would be about working for/on things you don't want to. I was definitely over-zealous going into the jam about how much I could do.
TLDR; The universe just does not want me to make games with dialogue, story, or any complex system.
Yo, dog, don't turn me into stone or nothin', but in the file section you can turn on "start-on-page-load" or something, since PICO-8 already has a start prompt.
