How it feels

You methodically plan each move, using clever tactics to outsmart robots rather than charging in head-on.

What players say

Players praise this action-puzzle game for its authentic retro feel across many platforms, though they consistently warn that controller support is incomplete and the keyboard works better. The game has 15 stages that require careful planning and resource management, and players say reading the manual is essential for the hints it provides.
