I wanted to like this game! It looks great and has lots of character. From what I played it seemed to have a great quirky almost Douglas Adams-esque style. However, I found the isometric perspective just too much, for me making jumps nigh on impossible and leaving me extremely frustrated. The store page says it is inspired by some games I've never played, so I might be missng out on a nostalgia factor here. First game I've ever requested a refund for, I wouldn't recommend it. Again, it might be because I haven't played the games it was inspired by, it is only the isometric platforming which let it down for me, everything else was great.

About This Game
An astronaut drifts through space, low on fuel and facing oblivion, manages to dock on an abandoned station. His only hope to refuel his ship and escape is a lone maintenance bot, the sole functioning unit on a station that has gone haywire. Can you guide the robot to victory, or will you succumb to the dangers of Station Zeta?
In the tradition of old school games like Altered Space or Solstice, this isometric puzzle platformer will push you to your limits. Chocked full of tough jumps, deadly traps, and crazy robots--you will breathe a sigh of relief as you make your way, room-by-room, through your quest. That is, if your battery doesn't run out...
· See reasonable special effects!
· See depravity in zero gravity!
· See robots that look like cans and barrels that look like cans!
· Open doors with keycards that come in any color you want (as long as you want red, green or blue)!
Haywire on fuel station zeta...a totally spaced adventure!

This is a fun little nostalgic look at the old isometric platformers. The quirky atmosphere is definately amusing and the puzzles require a bit of thought. As I'm not that good at the old isometric platformers I haven't gotten that far in it yet, but it's definately worth the experience.
This is a challanging classic arcade game, featuring fun characters. One of the challenges is that you can't just go straight through the game, You need to explore and learn as well as try things that are not obvious.
This game is simple to play but hard. It's fun. It's definitely worth the four bucks it cost me. It's not the type of thing you play all weekend, but it's great to have for when you want something you can play for a bit and not worry. Or who knows, maybe it does take forever to win. I never get very far.
This is not a good game. Be warned.
