A hard sidescrolling platformer challenges players to guide a robot up a single level back to its home planet. Minor obstacles and hostile enemies block the path, demanding constant motion. The robot overheats and explodes if it pauses even briefly, forcing a respawn at the start with a fresh unit.
This indie action game tests reflexes in a relentless casual platformer loop. Players climb without stopping, sacrificing robots to push higher. Precision runners who relish permadeath-style restarts will keep coming back for more attempts.

There may be a few minor obstacles on the way up:
and maybe some less nice fellows:
But that shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?
Oh, did we mention that the robot is not allowed to stop?
No? Well, if the robot stops for a short time, it will OVERHEAT, explode and spawn at the beginning!
How many robots will you need?
