  • The game features a variety of puzzles and themes, providing a unique gameplay experience.
  • The graphics are visually appealing, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the game.
  • It is a free game, which demonstrates the developers' belief in their work and offers a chance for players to engage without financial commitment.
  • The game is unfinished and has been abandoned by the developers, leading to a lack of content and polish.
  • Players have reported frustrating mechanics and unclear instructions, making it difficult to progress.
  • Despite being free, the game has received a dismal public reception, with very few players engaging with it.
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some users noting a lack of depth and clarity in mechanics, suggesting that it falls short of top-tier standards. While the concept of controlling a robot for missions is intriguing, the overall execution and interface leave much to be desired, resulting in a gameplay experience that feels incomplete.

    • “Interesting gameplay, we control a robot to finish some missions using steps.”
    • “There is barely a game here at all - not just in the content, but the interface and mechanics.”
    • “Decent concept but may need a bit of clarity around certain mechanics.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are praised for being visually appealing and impressive, especially for a free-to-play title. However, while the visuals are a strong point, some reviewers feel that they alone do not compensate for shortcomings in gameplay, emphasizing the need for a balance between graphics and gameplay quality.

    • “The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing.”
    • “Overall though this is sick for a free-to-play game; the graphics are nice, and the game is challenging but doable. If your brain likes coding things, you'll be amazing at this.”
    • “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the beta release tedious due to the limited commands available, which become increasingly repetitive as the game progresses.

    • “For this beta release, you only have very basic commands, which becomes quite tedious to manage at later stages.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “I find myself doing the same tasks over and over again, which really drains the fun out of the experience.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story revolves around an engaging gameplay experience where players control a robot to complete various missions, adding a layer of intrigue and challenge to the narrative.

  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music associated with the robot's movement has received negative feedback from users, with some expressing personal dislike for it.

    • “Secondly, I personally don't like the music that plays when the robot is moving.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report mixed experiences with stability, noting a few glitches such as being unable to exit the tab menu and issues with command responsiveness for characters. While these problems can be frustrating, they appear to be isolated incidents rather than widespread issues.

    • “The last stage made me miserable; I only ran into two glitches in the game: one where I couldn't leave the tab menu interface and another where my robot would no longer take commands, as included in the video.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing progress.”
    • “I experienced multiple freezes during gameplay, which completely ruined the immersion and enjoyment.”
