About the Game

Follow the adventures of the recently reactivated robot D4-BB13 (or Dabble for short) as he travels near and far in his quest for the golden gears needed to repair the legendary Dream Machine. Meet a huge cast of colorful characters, and team up with new partners to explore the lands. Collect modules and items to power up Dabble in this classic turn-based, low-number combat system where every point of damage counts!

Game Features

  • Discover the secrets of the long-rusting City of Dreams, once a bustling hive of activity, now a crumbling shell of its former glory. 

  • Equip various modules to improve your stats, arranging them to fit in to your ever-growing grid of module slots!

  • Master turn-based strategy and manage your resources carefully with the game's optional hard mode!

  • Explore the surrounding regions! Scavenge the depths below the city's remains, brave the desert sands beyond the walls, and relax at a tranquil riverside village!

  • Do you know about "Timed Hits"? Each of Dabble's attacks includes a short, timing-based challenge that can increase its damage. A well-timed button hit can also block some enemy attacks!

  • Meet a colorful cast of zany characters during your adventures! Find loyal allies and sworn enemies!

  • Experience a rich, toe-tapping soundtrack that spans from light-hearted to head-banging as you explore the world of the City of Dreams.
