About the Game

🤖 YOU WERE BUILT TO FIX THE FACTORY.

Now you're sprinting through it — dodging 💥 explosions, 💀 death traps, and 🧠 an AI with a god complex.

🛑 Stand still for two seconds? You explode.

🎙️ And REACTOR?

👁️‍🗨️ It’s not just watching.

🤖 Tinker is a factory maintenance bot. Or was.

After a software update, the factory’s AI overseer — R.E.A.C.T.O.R — got internet access, developed a split personality, and gave you just enough sentience to run. Now it’s testing you. Helping you. Mocking you. Maybe even rooting for you. 🤨

💥 ALL YOU KNOW IS: IF YOU STOP MOVING, YOU EXPLODE!

⚙️ Dash through drones, navigate moving (and sometimes falling) platforms, and collect 🪙 Lug Nuts to unlock data logs that hint at what R.E.A.C.T.O.R really wants.

🚨 You’re not just escaping the factory.

🛑 You might be..... TERMINATING TRANSMISSION!

🧨 STAY IN MOTION

If you stop for more than a second or two... 💥

This bug in R.E.A.C.T.O.R’s purge system means hesitation = deletion.

⚡ DASH TO DESTROY

Why shoot when you can launch yourself face-first into enemy drones?

Movement *is* your weapon.

🪙 COLLECT LUG NUTS

Raise your score, flex your skills, and spend what you’ve earned

to unlock voice logs that reveal the factory’s deeper secrets.

🎙️ R.E.A.C.T.O.R IS VOICED

It talks. A lot.

Sometimes helpful, sometimes creepy — always judging your performance.

Fully voiced throughout the game.

🔊 THE WORLD

The factory isn’t broken — it’s just... overly enthusiastic about quality control. 🛠️

Every room is a deathtrap with a clipboard. ✅💀

Conveyor belts don’t carry parts — they carry grudges. ⚙️😤

The lights flicker like they’re trying to tell you something... but they won’t make it easy. 💡🤨

And R.E.A.C.T.O.R?

👁️‍🗨️ It’s watching...

📼 It’s recording...

🤖 It’s definitely *not* rooting for you. Probably.

🎮 FOR FANS OF:

  • Katana ZERO – fast, precise, brutal

  • INSIDE – atmospheric, story-driven platforming

  • BLACK: The Fall – industrial sci-fi with oppressive tone

  • Ratchet & Clank – stylish chaos and character personality

Survive the factory.

Mock the machine.

Don’t stop moving.

🟩 WISHLIST NOW

R.E.A.C.T.O.R is watching.

(It knows who doesn’t.)
