Ahh well it uses lots of duplicating of movie clips. Each enemy is a seperate clip and is duplicated at random times. They are also motion tweened towards the mouse (our robot) using Actionscripted motion ( see my tutorial http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/intermediate/actionscripted_movement/index.shtml )

Then of course there's the obvious bits like the drag movie clip operation which makes our robot follow the mouse. It uses inertia dragging so he doesn't follow it straight away. He also turns to face the direction the mouse moved which is a neat little trick.

On the whole a very good game. It Wouldn't be too hard to replicate for an advanced scripter but it's not for beginners

Cheers
