Description
Gravity-bending run-and-gun platformer!
In the near future, the scientists of Earth have ripped open a portal to another dimension after a high-energy physics experiment has gone horribly wrong. Grotesque monsters from another world have poured into our realm, and all of humankind has fled the planet in fear, unable to fend off the invaders. Enter Shockbot, humanity's last hope for reclaiming their home world. Shockbot is armed with a high precision blaster capable of vaporizing menacing invaders, as well as a devastating Shock Attack to wipe the area clear of foes. Orchestrating the invasion is Ultramech, a powerful hybrid mechanical beast of imposing size, armed with a terrifying laser cannon. Shockbot must destroy Ultramech to put a halt to Earth's invasion, trekking from the insertion point in Horizon City, through monster-infested forests, foreboding caves, an industrial wasteland, to a dreamy cyberpunk skyline.
This run-and-gun platformer is reminiscent of classic 16-bit shooters and includes a half a dozen varied and exciting stages, fast-paced action, a cool Shock Attack mechanic to wipe all the enemies off screen, antigravity platforming challenges, and an epic boss battle at the end, all with a pulsing drum and bass soundtrack.

Ratings and Reviews
Slick platformer
Reminds me of the platformers I used to play growing up. Searching out the extra abilities in each level (like double jump) is super satisfying. There are puzzle elements that aren’t onerous like a lot of the platformers these days, and back tracking isn’t really a thing. I haven’t beat it yet, but I’m gonna hook up my PlayStation controller and tear through it if I can.
Good stuff
This game’s been a lot of fun to play and it’s kept me busy for hours. It had a nostalgic 90s vibe and a cool level select option after you best the game.
Terrible
Controls are poorly designed and clunky. There’s no tutorial.
Developer Response ,
Hey Dude, thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts. Could you elaborate on what about the controls are “clunky”? Also curious about what you would like to see in a tutorial. The intention is that the first level is easy enough to sandbox and figure out the game’s mechanics but maybe I didn’t convey that effectively. Please contact support@glowmatic.net if you’re willing to discuss. I’d love to make improvements and convert you from a hater to a fan. :-)
