It's a 'platformer' in the sense that you control literal platforms to launch yourself (or enemies!) around. Buy if you like hilarious dialog and unique gameplay. It also works surprisingly well with a Steam Controller, to the point where it's my prefered method of playing this game.

About This Game

You are lost in the depths of a gas giant mining station where things have gone very, very wrong. Move terrain to clear paths, launch enemies, and fling yourself skyward. Get ready to shoot a lot of robots and jump into the colorful clouds of Cloudbase Prime!
The abandoned world in those clouds is full of weird and wonderful dangers. Discover friendly robots, discover murdery robots, grappling-hook onto enemy airships, fight giant bosses, and swim inside huge floating jellyfish.

Find new weapons and powers for your robot suit as you explore. You don't need them to win, but they're definitely worth finding!
Launch shockwaves through terrain that fling dozens of enemies into the air. Block homing missiles and cross gaps with hex tiles you've created out of thin air. Destroy your enemies with a good old fashioned death beam. Your weapons and ammo can be customized at any point, after you've found them! Charge shot + combust ammo? Homing shot + freeze ammo? Delicious!

Here's the kind of stuff you'll do while playing Cloudbase Prime:
- Jump
- Shoot
- Jump while shooting
- Blow up mech walkers leg by leg and then watch their stupid heads roll off a cliff and fall into the clouds below
- Raise/lower terrain to open paths, launch enemies, launch yourself, or stop a homing missile from hitting you in the face
- Upgrade your robot suit with new weapons, powers, and ammo to use in fast, bouncy combat
- Slow down time to select from your powers and weapons at a leisurely pace via the strategy HUD
- Launch yourself with terrain to fly high and charge your boost engines
- Discover why robots are mutating and acting all evil via fully animated and voiced in-game story bits
- Save lots of grinning fixbots
- Blow up some real big bosses
- Explore varied levels, plumbing the weird depths of a gas giant's robotic wilderness. Climb huge robotic trees, ride a jet dragon, swim inside giant floating jellyfish, and find lost cities in the clouds!

Cool game made by a cool guy! The dragon level is amazing! Highfive for the Cheesehound rebelcow!
I'm wwway to tired to write a real review, but if you are looking for something fun, inventive and unique, then give this game a shot. You also get to fling enemies in the air and shoot at them while they tumble back to earth.
So uh, I'll be honest I'm not even one level in and I already cannot comprehend anything in this game. So to jump higher and/or move faster, I have to do the entirety of the following sequence: - Use Q to make sure I'm in block-extrusion mode rather than block-intrusion mode - Aim down at a hexagonal block nearby - Make sure I'm actually standing on it - Click it with RMB - While in mid-air, press Left Control to Hover (which takes me a fixed distance forward) - When Hover runs out, hold Space to uh, also hover but less efficiently I guess? This is four keys and multiple game mechanics for uhh, an equivalent of a simple rocket jump? Yeah I really don't see myself doing it for the entire duration of the game, man. The game tells you to launch enemies into the air before killing them - it's not hitting them mid-air that is the problem, it's that there's no bonus damage for it so they just uh, fall down before you kill them anyways? So I guess you need to soften them up first but there ...
the game is great full of gaint bosses challinges get harder the heat rises in this game the story line is heart warmin and cute amazing charecters and i love all the abilitys are cool all the guns are cool is great
The Best Indie First Person Game On Steam
I like the game! The terrain-moving mechanics are cool, used to good effect (especially with most of the bosses), and while movement can be a bit slow and floaty, the game itself is quick-paced enough to make up for it. Though I do kind of wish that, by default, there was a sort of "medium speed" between the slow gliding when you hold jump, and the very quick falling when you don't. I didn't like the audio so much. It was probably the weakest link in my experience. It's an indie dev's first title, so I'm keeping that in mind as I write this, but from sound effects to voice acting, I felt like it took away from my experience a little more than it added. If you get past the movement speed and the audio, there's still a good time to be had. Hope others give this game another look, since steam reviews in the double-digits is a tragedy here!

I have a modern-potato rig, i.e., well-known game engines run optimised out-of-the box even it it's something AAA like "Ghostrunner" demo. Hence, I was fooled by this game's simplistic graphics (I thought that it would run amazingly at the very first time itself) and had to fiddle with the NVIDIA Control to finally have it at 60 FPS without any stutter at all. That out of the way: It's a good game. I got it dirt cheap (imagine 2 packets of chips) and the most apt description would be to say that it's quirky AND fun. So, if you could spare a week to binge this in a few sittings, the experience is well-worth it!
