ASTRO BOT

This is an adventure platformer in which players help Astro Bot collect pieces of his crashed ship across different planets. From a third-person perspective, players traverse themed environments (e.g., ice world, temple, desert) while collecting coins, solving puzzles, and battling enemy robots. Players use punches and spin attacks to defeat robots; players can use cartoony weapons (e.g., pellet pistols, bows) to shoot targets and defeat characters. Combat is frenetic, accompanied by cries of pain, large explosions, and screen-shaking effects. In a handful of sequences, players pilot a flying controller and shoot down waves of enemy ships. In some stages, pigeons can be seen leaving several bird droppings.
