Robotry!

Robotry! brings out a unique physics-based twist on 2D platforming. It has a physical movement mechanic, where legs are controlled directly by using the gamepad analog sticks. Walking, jumping, kicking and pushing buttons are all done simply by pushing the legs against different objects. You might think that it's frustratingly finicky, but the auto-balancing of the robot makes this relatively effortless. There's a learning curve, but it's smooth and satisfying. The ability to grab and move things brings even more depth, adding actions like throwing, climbing and cranking. You might move like a glitchy toddler to start with, but end up more like an acrobat. And this is just the start, as the game keeps adding layers with new abilities and powerups. The game also rewards sandbox-like experimentation with plenty of discoverable secrets.
