Gameplay Description
The game is most of all an epic escape of the main character – a state of the art high-tech robot named Wobo. As in every escape, you first have to figure a way leading to an exit by finding the right path out of many possibilities. Navigating Wobo through a maze of tunnels in various locations is not just about using elevators, bridges, pushing levers, unlocking doors and finding the hidden passages. To stay safe you also have to avoid hazards, eliminate dangerous traps, clear obstacles in your path and solve clever puzzles to advance.
As Wobo is unarmed, he must stay away from security cameras and turrets to avoid alarms that would compromise his escape. A face to face encounter with any enemy would be deadly for him, his only way is to outsmart them, hide in shadows and blend in with his surroundings. Saving his small buddies – Woblings brings optional yet challenging twist to every level and alters the climax of the subtle sci-fi side storyline.

Find the way
Wobo’s journey starts with figuring out the right path (leading towards the end of each level – to an exit) through platform-like levels. Not every walkway is solid enough to walk, not every elevator gets you closer to the safety. Large level can be a maze on their own - locate and switch the correct levers, discover secret passages, use elevators or assembly lines, turn on bridges, hack computer terminals, open the right doors… But most importantly don’t get lost a keep running, every minute counts and the fate of all robots depends on you!
Save your buddies
Optionally, Wobo might find and save his small robot buddies - Woblings. Scattered or hidden throughout each level, waiting to be ‘hacked’ first in order to follow Wobo and be rescued. This side quest brings new thrilling approach to every level, creates additional challenges for more replayability and also increases overall score to unlock further bonuses. But most importantly, it allows you to follow a subtle moral sub-plot, a story twist altering the game’s ending.
Face or outsmart enemies
Letting Wobo escape is just too risky for the H.A.R.M. corporation - the owner of the mining colony, all the robots and Wobo as well. They will try to stop him at all costs. As Wobo is unarmed, you have to choose to either face enemies by turning their own guns against them or to avoid and trick them. Robotic security guards, flying drones, mobile sentry gunners and many other evil robots will try to find and shut down Wobo. Can Wobo die? Not really, he will be just powered down, his internal memory will be erased and circuits will be recycled. Which is basically a death for a robot, right?
Stay hidden
Make sure he will stay undetected by security cameras and turrets to avoid alarms. Rather use the environment to your advantage – blend in, stay hidden or outsmart enemies otherwise your escape will be quickly compromised. What is more, dangerous traps will make the route even more challenging.
Solve puzzles, avoid hazards and traps
Get Wobo in one piece over the landscape full of enemies and hazards, eliminate traps, clear obstacles and solve various puzzles to create a safe passage for him and his fellow robots. The greatest journey ever taken by mechanical beings can change the fate of all robots.
Progress and unlock new stuff
The game has 25 levels* grouped into episodes. Each episode progresses the story of the mining robots, brings new enemies in various new locations and also some new abilities for Wobo. Primary objectives in each level are complemented by a set of secondary tasks to complete – save all Woblings, hack every computer console, avoid any alarms, etc. Completing those not only gives you a higher score for the level, it can also unlock some extras like character models in a showcase, high-res wallpapers, costumes/skins for Wobo or his enemies, etc.
