Space Bob vs. The Replicons is a challenging yet light-hearted space adventure that combines hand crafted planets with procedurally generated hazards and resources. Help Bob to escape a mysterious time loop along with his companion AI while fighting off a full scale Replicon alien invasion. GameplayExplore dozens of planets while mastering the physics techniques required to lift loot and resources back into orbit where they can be refined to craft much needed upgrades.At first something as simple as landing on a planet and recovering some basic salvage will be a serious challenge. If the planetary hazards dont kill you first youll likely be overrun by Replicons before having a chance to learn that you need to be both fast and smart to survive. Managing resources while learning how to maneuver valuable loot around obstacles and out of deep winding caves is at the heart of Bobs adventure. Space Bob vs. The Replicons offers the choice of two very different game modes. In the default Rogue-lite Invasion mode your first objective will be to escape through the jump-gate. Once youve managed that youll find yourself transported back in time to discover that its only the beginning of your battle against the Replicons. To truly escape youll need to explore further solve mysteries meet new friends complete multiple objectives and master your skills to ultimately take the battle deep into the Replicon mother ship itself.Whether you live or die an average play session is designed to be relatively short yet never the same twice. At first youll die frequently and struggle to do seemingly simple tasks but with patience careful resource management time and practice youll learn to survive long enough to unlock checkpoints and discover that death is not as permanent as it seems. Dig even deeper and youll find yourself working with mysterious forces to save mankind from alien obliteration over multiple consecutive games.However if you prefer your games to persist over tens of hours theres the all new Survival mode. With six dynamic difficulty settings you can choose anything from a relatively relaxed sandbox exploration adventure to a nail biting battle to secure resources while fending off an ever increasing army of alien invaders. TechnologyThe game may initially appear to use traditional 2D sprites but instead uses polygons to model every object planet and blade of grass. This allows for both surprisingly great performance even on low end hardware but also the ability to seamlessly zoom from viewing an entire planet down to allowing Bob to fill the screen without any pixelation. At the start of each game a new system of planets is generated each remixed and respawned with different resources and loot to create an open-world experience where no two games are ever alike. All objects are physics enabled which creates the heart and soul of the gameplay. Youll need to master Bobs multi-functional grappling gun that can connect anything to everything and use it to solve an emergent stream of physics based problems in order to get loot and resources back to your refinery ship in orbit. Bobs grappling gun can even stick Replicons to walls each other or anything else before they eventually overwhelm every planet. Alternatively you can blast them to pieces and salvage their body parts or take things to the next level and salvage them alive!Good luck Bob. Youve got this!
