Reviews
- Great customization options for building your robot, with meaningful upgrades from collected parts.
- Fun gameplay with a nice blend of exploration and combat, reminiscent of classic metroidvania titles.
- Excellent value for the price, providing an enjoyable experience despite its simplicity and short length.
- The game is extremely short, with some players finishing it in about 90 minutes and lacking depth in content.
- Losing half of your currency upon death feels excessively punishing, detracting from the overall experience.
- The absence of a map system makes navigation difficult, leading to potential confusion about unexplored areas.

The gameplay is characterized as a fast-paced action-roguelike-platformer with solid mechanics and fair stats that align with enemy capabilities. However, players feel there is a lack of depth in mechanics related to body parts and complete sets, suggesting that additional abilities like enhanced jumps or dashes would enrich the experience. Overall, while the core gameplay is praised, there is a desire for more variety and complexity in mechanics.
“A fast-paced action-roguelike-platformer with great gameplay ideas!”
“The stats that each part has are fair considering how they're the same as the enemies, but I feel like there should have been more game mechanics based on which body parts you had and/or if you were using a complete set. For example, a change to the double jump or a dash move would have been nice—anything besides the basic controls and the two weapons you can have at a time, plus the spinal enhancement for a third potentially.”
