How to play
WASD or arrow keys to move. The active modules behaviour determines what space-bar does (jump with legs, dash with treads, hover with jets). Between levels, a workshop screen lets you swap modules. Some levels require specific configurations to complete.
Game features
- Twenty levels with module-specific designs
- Three module types: legs, treads, jets
- Workshop screen for between-level configuration
- Optional collectibles reward exploration with alternate modules
- Three difficulty modes affecting hazard density
- Module-unlock progression through the campaign
Editor review
Module-based character customisation in platformers is a small but compelling sub-genre. Mechanic Bot commits to the format with three meaningfully different modules and twenty levels that exploit each modules unique capabilities. The result is a platformer that rewards thinking about which tool to bring to each level rather than just executing platform timing.
The three modules feel distinctly different. Legs are the agile default — high precise jumps. Treads sacrifice jump for the ability to dash through breakable walls and crush small enemies. Jets enable limited hovering for traversal sections that legs cannot reach. Some levels can be completed with any module but reward specific choices; others require a specific module to even reach the exit.
The workshop screen is the games clearest meta-system. Module unlocks progress through the campaign; by level 10 youve unlocked all three. The optional collectibles encourage replaying earlier levels with later modules. Recommended for puzzle-platformer fans.
