Category:Player Office

The Player Office is the place the player acts from during the gameplay of RoboTraps. It shows all relevant data of the game, such as saved or destroyed robots, the current level's high score, and the player's rank at Death Trap Incorporated. Additionally, any rewards the player gathers are stored here.

Movement
The office can move over the "Death Trap Inc Rail System", a monorail system, to reach every accessible level in the factory. On some occasions, the office gets moved by a crane instead. An option in the menu allows switching off the movement, for example by players who are prone to experience motion sickness.

Interior
When the game starts, the office is rather empty and plain. There is a desk with a screen and a raggedy carpet, as well as a tin-plate sign showing the Death Trap Inc logo in the back, and a speaker from which the Announcer can be heard. there are also two office signs used to re-start or exit a level. Whenever the player receives access to another level, one of the rewards gets unlocked and shown in the office.

In the office, the player can also find a number of random blueprints lying around. These show data on the five main robots of the game.

There is a huge window behind the screen in front of the player, through which they can observe the actual gameplay. The window has an air freshener dangling down and has some blinds which go will close whenever the game loads a new area. The blinds will show a "Welcome at Death Trap Inc" image on startup, and a random robot picture (with a short statement about the robot) during the actual game.

Information screens
There are three screens in the office. A small screen to the left simply counts how many robots the player destroyed during gameplay, ignoring any grey robots destroyed. This count has no effect in-game.

A screen to the right shows how many robots the player saved, counting only the high scores for each level (so re-doing the same stage with the same or worse result won't increase it); the current rank the player has at Death Trap Incorporated; and the number of additional robots to save to unlock the next level and/or reward.

The third screen sits in the middle of the player's table and only shows information during the actual levels. There it will track the state of each of the appearing main robots (tinting their silluette red if destroyed or green if saved) as well as the level's high score, if available. As soon as the level has ended, the screen will come up and show the level's score, including whether the player unlocked something or improved their score.

Restart and exit sign
There are two signs in the upper corners of the player office's window, which can be used exactly like doors on the factory grounds. The left one, showing a circular arrow, restarts any given level the player is in. The exit sign on the right can be used to exit any given level, exit any building to access the factory grounds, and exit the game when used on the factory grounds themselves.
