This game started as a simple way to blow off some steam, I just wanted to have fun with a little shooter, while my wife watched a "Planet of the Apes" movie next to me. But as I played around with the idea, I thought: what if the player was responsible for creating their own enemies? That twist felt interesting, and it reminded me of games like Tetris, Suika Game, and Mini Motorways, where the challenge grows as more things fill the screen. Having made a Suika Game clone before (Bill’s Workshop), I knew this mechanic could work.
From there, it was all about finding a story wild enough to tie everything together. A scientist, a cosmic garage, and a portal gone wrong felt like the perfect fit. What began as a quick experiment turned into a quirky, chaotic game that I’m excited to share. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have feedback, I’d love to hear it!

Hey,
Just wanted to share with you a new prototype I made for fun the past few days. It's inspired by games like "Getting Over It" and "Jump King".
You are a robot who moves in a weird way and you must reach the top.
It's a difficult game which is for a specific type of player, I think, but if you like the games I mentioned, you will probably enjoy it.
Looking forward to hearing what you think :slight_smile:

Hey, so the title screen and the concept art are made by Francesco Crisci. For the in-game assets, I used Midjourney, however they will be replaced by the new assets made by the artist.
This gives a little bit of an idea of what it will look like in the end. 🙂

I like your suggestion of the care package, we will consider adding something like that. For now, we were thinking of adding random nice travelers who would pass by during the day asking for some special resources, if you have what they want, they will give you other resources.
Once the new weapons, maps, heroes, power-ups, items, and enemies are there, the feeling of progression will last way longer and hopefully, it will feel more like a complete game.
Thanks again for your thoughts, very insightful to read!
Really cool to see you video!
Thank you for playing the game on your channel :)
