Travelling back to the 1990s as a small robot, you try to stop a tragic accident from happening inside your creator's home. The game is a side-scrolling, physics-based puzzle platformer, and you work through environmental puzzles while collecting upgrades such as boosters and harpoons.
Seen from a robot's scale, ordinary household items turn into landmarks and obstacles. The cute presentation and nostalgic music sit alongside a story about consequences: you may change the past, but you have to live with what follows. Single-player, with full controller support, and well suited to players who like thoughtful puzzle platformers with a story at their center.
