Rebots

Rebots

Experience a galactic adventure with your crew of robots

You are working as a middle manager for the Rebots Corporation who specialise in climaforming inhospitable asteroids for aliens. Your character’s aspiration is to become “The Best Employee Ever” but there is a long journey from the bottom to the top. Climb the ranks of the Rebots Corporation, making friends and rivals along the way, as you follow in the footsteps of your mother to become employee #1.

Program robots

To make your robots work, you need to program them. Or rather, you need to instruct your robot managers (supervisors) to instruct your robot workers. Hence, you learn how to program by creating your code and instructions directly in the world and seeing your robot operation automatically carrying out your carefully designed program in real-time.

Build and balance delicate ecosystems

Each alien race has specific requirements for habitats, meaning you need to transform and design ecosystems while dealing with the local fauna and flora that might condone your lease on the land. You are changing the climate of existing ecosystems (climaforming) so you experience first-hand the effects of climate change and migration.

Build relationships with the alien factions you meet

Some aliens enjoy sweltering hot, some live in a swamp, while others like chilly weather. Get to know multiple factions throughout your adventure and learn their preferences to become the best employee of the Rebots Corporation.

Solve challenges in unique ways

Use your ever-growing programming skills with your robots to solve challenges in a variety of ways. Use the available resources to your advantage and leverage the local fauna, flora and resources to assist you in completing your job.

Village Bus Driver Simulator

Village Bus Driver Simulator

CHALLENGING AND ADDICTING!!! I have to admit that I was not expecting much when I purchased this game. With that being said, I am blown away. There is a lot of bang for the buck here. The graphics are wonderful, the bus upgrades are fun. I hope Village Bus Driver Simulator 2 has a co-op mode.

PoliPlanet

PoliPlanet

Your galaxy is a blank slate; An untamed wilderness full of potential! Travel from planet to planet and develop each one into a beautiful village, town, or city through the use of machines and crafting!

Physics-Based Interaction

Actions in PoliPlanet are generally completed by interacting with the physical world rather than through the use of menus and UI. Whether it’s gathering resources, loading machines, or planting trees, it’s all done in real time and space.

Free-Form Building

No grids, no point & click. Whether it’s a segment or a complete structure, you’re free to build wherever and however you want. Let your creativity flourish!

Real Relationships

Citizens in PoliPlanet are not mindless NPCs who follow a predetermined set of instructions. They build complex relationships with the player and each other. Treat them well!

Natural Progression

As you develop your skills, you’ll learn more about the resources at your disposal and gain the ability to craft bigger and better structures and machines. As your planets become more inviting, NPCs will begin take notice. If they like them enough, they might even fly over in their rocket ship and take up residence! But of course, everyone is different. A merchant might want to see a few other citizens living on your planet before they’re willing to set up shop. They need someone to sell to after all!

Elaborate Procedural Generation

Each planet is unique, with its own resources and features! So what if your citizens are requesting some plant life on your sandy, desert planet? Well, it’s off to your spaceship to search for a shiny new planet, lush with trees and plants! But how will you get them back to your civilization? Rockets? An overly complicated tube system? Build a transportation robot who exists solely to carry out your every request? It’s up to you!

JUNKPUNK

JUNKPUNK

Very fun finished it a bit fast but it’s early access so that’s understandable (Suggestion) need tools upgrade, a way to block the weather from blowing through structures walls, Lighting types, more building shapes, large ceiling and floor tiles placement, double stairs for a 2nd floor access, better placement snapping for building, rotation & raising/lowering of foundation tiles, keybinding access, body upgrades like a bigger backpack & foot jets, a items list for tracking builds, a auto-reset camera position to move cam freely, and a way to repair and use the crashed spaceship, a upgrade to breakdown all of the giant metal structures laying around the region & more quest.

Real player with 32.2 hrs in game

Junkpunk is a good game with a lot of future potential. At the current price it is easily a good value and a lot of fun. I have spent the last 8 hours playing and it is only day one. Yes, I am aware that means I have no life, lol. In this 8 hour play through, I have had zero crashes, 7 hours I had a buddy connected to me and I was the host with only 1 single disconnect. I have come across no bugs, glitches, or any major concerns.

With all the positives, there are a few things I would like to see but are mostly small complaints:

I hesitate to say ‘yes’ with this one, BUT, I think it has a lot to offer in the future. Getting started is rough, you’re thrown into what appears to be a near-desert world and left to fend for yourself. Intriguing, I know. Five hours and two restarts later I have - through trial and error -learned the very basics of getting started. There is no tutorials and no quick start guides (may try and start one). The game itself is rough around the edges, gooey in the middle, and the top might be a little burnt … Bakers reference :) but it has a concept of world building, planet exploration, and automation – Think Satisfactory + Minecraft + Most Mechanic Games – There is a lot to unfold on the potential lying around in this. There is survival aspects, building, automation, the works that can and a lot most likely will be done. I recommend this game based on it’s future development. I think the developer has an idea that has been on the minds of many players for a while now and it could easily take off.

Real player with 17.2 hrs in game

This game has a lot of potential to be something epic. I really really hope the developers stick with it!

As for the game in its current state:

  • UI is very limited, kind of a press every key until something happens so you know what to do

  • Running the timbers to connect power is a little odd at first. Main concept; if you’re not going from one building to another, you must connect to a stand. (ie no free hanging timbers)

  • Starting grind is very heavy, no automation for parts needed to advance the tech tree, at least so far for me, I just unlocked copper.
