Puppygames Secret Titan Labs, 21st March 2013 - Dr. Zap has peered into his crystal ball to look at the murky future of the human race, and we're afraid to say it looks rather bleak.

Using the incredibly scientific method of Bayesian statistical probability applied to heuristic predictive analysis and just plain guessing, Dr. Zap has determined that with a 99.9% probability that the human race will develop a machine to govern civilisation in a fair and non-despotic manner some time in the year 3___. This machine will inevitably discover that human beings aren't really necessary at all and recycle us all into the lids of toothpaste tubes, which will remain in a warehouse for eternity as there will be no more need for toothpaste.

There is also a 0.1% probability that a single lone survivor will escape the recycling operation and avenge the human race by destroying the machine overlord, thereafter to live a just and contented life, with very white teeth.

Could this survivor be you?

Ultratron is our silliest arcade game yet. Borrowing memes from many others before it, and a gently relaxing difficulty curve akin to boiling a frog by slowly warming its bath, prepare to be mesmerised by hypnotic blasting action in a homage to the 80s arcade machines of old. Loads of levels, several bosses, and three cute pets await your attention.
