    Game info:
    I almost have no words for this game... The story is beautiful and the way it is told is so emotional. Meanwhile, this is a difficult action platformer game with some mini-games. And the difficulty is quite hard. This wouldn't normally be a game for me, I don't like keeping dying and keep trying all the time... but I got very far into this game just because I wanted to follow the story, and believe me that really tells you something, normally I would have quite this type of game without an hour if not shorten and I have 15,5h into this game.

    This should have told you how good the story is, but how good is the gameplay. It is amazing, it is very difficult for me, but the instant reset in most places makes that you want to keep trying. I also love it that they help you out if you keep struggling you get extra shields and in boss fights it restarts the current phase, but not the whole boss fight.

    I saw people calling it the indie game of 2019 and before playing it I thought that was a bit of hype... but after playing it I can see that it is really one of the best indie games of 2019.

    Achievements info:
    Most of the achievements you'll unlock by just playing through the game, or repeat some of the mini-games. There is a set of 2 achievements I'm worried you can not unlock in one playthrough but I didn't come that far. It is where you have to save or not save the black guy. I read forum posts that people got both, but that might be a bug.

    Before you finish the game, make sure you have cleaned one million things, since that one seems a missable achievement. So clean, clean, clean everything! That's what this robot was made for right? :P And cleaning is very easy, you just have to run to junk and it will go away, or for bigger things you have to stand still for a few seconds. You can upgrade the clean abilities to make this way easier. I suggest upgrading those abilities for cleaning as soon as possible. I did grind a bit of the mini-games for money for it, but it made cleaning so much easier, it is worth it.

    Pros & cons:
    + Such great storytelling, I almost cried with some scenes
    + Great and challenging platformer
