Holy Shoot is currently in Early Access, and while it’s light on content (at the time of writing), it’s already got…
Developed by indie team Jookitooz, A-RED Walking Robot is a physics-based puzzle platformer that places you in a small clockwork robot trying to survive in a giant, trap-filled workshop. On the surface, it is all very charming with its bright visuals, an upbeat toy-box aesthetic, and lovable protagonist. However, spend more than a few minutes in A-RED’s world and you will quickly discover that this cheerful facade hides a game that’s often as punishing as it is endearing. First Impressions The game begins without much ceremony. You are dropped into a cluttered workshop with no real introduction and asked to make your way forward.
