About the game

Launch into the ultimate head trip as you blast through psychotic robots in a retro 70's sci-fi action adventure from Double Fine Productions. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a computer.

    I thought this was a fun experience. The gameplay is solid - I would have loved fewer characters and a wider variety of abilities between them, rather than most of them just being different access levels and strength levels. Nevertheless, this is a solid, metroidvania with a great presentation.

    I found the extremely loud monotonous tones in the sound effects layer, and all the flashing, to be very unpleasant, and render the game unplayable. The first 30 minutes was also pretty boring. Thumbs down.
