Super Roboy

This game has some interesting ideas, particularly around unlocking new abilities. The overall experience, though, just feels bad. Here are the things that got under my skin enough to make me want to stop playing: - An early upgrade makes it so that shooting enemies builds up target on them. You can detonate this for bonus damage. However, the activation has about a half second delay where you cannot move at all. It makes the relatively fluid combat feel halting and will be a frequent reason why you take damage you otherwise would have dodged early on. - The bosses are INCREDIBLY spongey. For all the time you spend fighting them, you won't see very many variations on their attacks. This has been the biggest drag so far. Every time I get to a boss I just want to go play something else instead. - Boss attacks are not hard to dodge but when you DO get hit, it takes a significant portion of your health. You're generally only ever three or four hits from dying at most. This makes boss fights something of a marathon where you see most of what makes a boss interesting in the first minute but you're stuck shooting for another 3 minutes to get through it. - The map can show rooms and items in those rooms but does not record obstacles that blocked you from going through them. This lead to me wandering to each spot that I previously couldn't get to only to find the one door that I could now get through with my new upgrade. More map info would help significantly with rewarding exploration. - The game's objective marker gets moved to the next "main" objective but then the game tells you that you probably shouldn't go there and should explore first. I get that this can be interesting from a non-linear perspective as there's nothing to stop you from tackling the game out of order but it seems to be a fairly common complaint that folks are missing the expected path and getting irritated while throwing themselves at an area that is much harder than it otherwise would be if they had found the upgrade they were intended to find first. - The handling of some of the moves, particularly the slide, feels off. I can't say that it definitely is but I frequently found myself sliding in an unintended direction, particularly during boss fights when it mattered the most. Overall, the game is just kind of boring and grindy? It checks a lot of boxes for me but ultimately I just can't see myself continuing with it.

This is a great hidden gem of the game. I play-tested another game for this creator and he gave me the game as a ‘thank you’ for my time. If you enjoy Metroidvania style games, you’re really like this one. It borrows a lot from Metroid, in fact. The play unlocks abilities by finding gems and beating enemies, plus there is a ‘lite’ leveling system. As you power up you can backtrack and find things you missed or couldn’t get. The story follow a little robot that has lost his memory. He’s on a journey to find his father is a post-apocalyptic setting. If all this sounds like you’re cup of tea, give it a try. Expect about 10 hours to beat the main story.

The game is great, sometime it get a little bit confusing but nothing frustrating Overall, i've got a lot of fun playing this game. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of metroidvania

nie exploration, tight controls, standard metroidvania skills. I'm not very good at boss fights, but I managed on normal difficulty.

decent enough design, but the world was just too boring. i made through four biomes and everything looked the same. that being said, i dont not recommend it? with the caveat that it is not a bad game, just an uninspired one that i lost interest in

Excellent game! Pure heart and soul

Absolutely fantastic game!

Excellent game. Very fun to play, easy to sink hours into the game. Good exploration and great overall gameplay. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing this on my Steam Deck and Odin 3.
