Summary

Little Robot Helper is a 2D, top-down view, teamwork-based exploration Role-Playing Game that allows up to four players to work cooperatively.
Inspired by Stardew Valley, Moonlighter and the Atelier-series of games, the main quest line of Little Robot Helper is to gather resources, combat enemies and craft items that are requested by Mr. Tenpo, all in a certain amount of time. If in a team a certain player works harder than the others, he will be rewarded with the status of “Employee of the month”, although the focus of the game is to pull players to do good deeds and work together.
Mr. Tenpo developed a prototype for a little robot as a gift for his unbearing wife, Lily, so they could pursue the dream of having a child and family together. With their shop running well, they had their lives ready to welcome a child, but Lily became ill. The devastating passing of his wife broke Mr. Tenpo and he clung to what was left of her, their shop. He couldn’t run it alone, thus, with his last strength, he modified the prototype to develop little robot helpers to aid him keep the shop.
