About the Game

Explore, discover items, find Wassie lore, upgrade PB42 to gloriously defeat mutant plants and fly back home

PB42


Your peaceful work assignment goes wrong as your navigation system gets damaged by some pesky space debris. Luckily, the picker bot spaceships have one backup route to the Merchant Bay, a big trade hub. After the emergency landing on a seemingly lifeless planet, PB42 discovers that it is full of artifacts from its former inhabitants. A perfect job for a picker bot. But the sound sensors detect some rustle from beneath. Something is lurking…

Upgrade to return home


Platform you way through the underground rift, which changes every time you enter. But listen carefully, as something is lurking in the dark and you as a picker bot are not equipped for those encounters yet. Find and pick up various collectibles, check their values and drop what's worth less, but such precious artifacts will always sell well at the Merchant Bay.
The Merchant Bay offers scrap parts from different types of bots. If you have credits, of course. Thrusters, blasters, homing missiles, illumination, extra durability, you name it. And what’s that over there in the back, behind the gruesome Merchant Wassie? A shiny new navigation system to replace your damaged one? How in the universe can an ordinary picker bot afford it though...
Splurge on a blaster and you want regret it, as those angry mutant plants hold lots of extraordinary artifcats and guard chests with even more valuable loot. And completing the item sets can definitely be lucrative.
Upgrade PB42 into a formidable machine to finally navigate back home.
