The Story

A little robot named Rombo is working hard to maintain an empty human colony on an alien planet. One day, an electrical malfunction sparks something new: Rombo gains sentience and abandons its programmed routines. The humans that were supposed to live here are missing.

Help Rombo explore the planet, craft a new world, and help whoever/whatever he meets along the way!

Genre

Rombo is a cozy Sandbox game -- like Starbound and Terraria, but with:

  • less emphasis on Survival
  • more emphasis on casual exploration, building, and good vibes in a non-hostile world.

Yeah don't know how your games are so under the radar all seem very good quality code and art style wise.

Thank you so much!! This means a lot to hear <3 <3 

We're going to keep working hard and try to get traction with players. Lots of updates coming this year!

Pretty cool! I wasn’t able to figure out what task 3 was, “replace tiles”. Also was this inspired by the book/movie The Wild Robot?

Sorry about this! The third task is to place the Rich Soil (brown with white spots) blocks back into the field, or anywhere. It's meant to teach the player that they can put blocks down, but a ton of people are getting confused here, so I'll rework it.

I've never read or seen The Wild Robot but I'll check it out!

Thanks so much for playing and leaving the feedback. Lots of bugs and hurdles. We'll keep releasing more updates.

Stumbled across black heart games through their archaeology game. Found this project. Very interesting!
