Black Heart Games is pleased to announce that our second Rombo milestone is live! Please check it out in the browser for free and let us know what you think, or download it. The current version supports mouse and keyboard only.

We've been heads down on getting a Rombo build up and running to showcase even more features for this cozy pixel art Sandbox RPG.

Rombo's pillars are simple:

1. STORY: Rombo’s story is one of an awakening hero who loves the world and works to save humanity.

2. COZY: Stay cozy and casual in this friendly, heart-warming 2D Sandbox adventure. Rombo is peaceful and creative.

3. DISCOVERY: Explore and discover new biomes. Collect artifacts and seeds from every biome. Travel around a huge [*soon to be huge] world!

4. CREATION: Rombo can build from anything it collects as it travels the giant, diverse world, from new terrains to custom biomes.

We also have a number of features proven out and ready to play, as well as several more slated for development in the next year.

- Farming, growing crops: You can till, sow, water, grow, and harvest all types of plants on this alien world.

- Digging/building: Rombo can use a special drill to shape the entire world.

- Quests: Follow the storyline as Rombo searches for humans and surviving technology.

- Explore: We have two biomes, and will continue to add more.

- Interact: You can interact with items and NPCs in the world to learn more about them or receive special items.

- Gather: Rombo has an infinite inventory, and can learn about each item. We have big plans for organizing the inventory as the game gets larger.

Coming soon:

- A social system with NPC friends.

- Combat - We've started work on this, but some optional combat will be coming for players who like to fight.

- Crafting and upgrading. Rombo will be able to use what it collects in the world to upgrade itself and share with friends.

- Co-op. This is a big stretch goal, but we believe Rombo would be more fun with friends.

- Multiplatform. Our engineer is already doing controller support work, and we hope to be available on many platforms by the time Rombo is ready to launch.

We're looking forward to digging into the next steps. We have a great foundation on which to start really multiplying the work we've done here and just lean into creating tons of content for this game.
