Running Robot Man is a roguelike dungeon crawler and exploration game. Play as a robot training for an explorer license at the "Establishment," armed with a parasol, laser, and many acrobatic abilities. Explore a dozen dungeons (solo or in co-op with friends), and unlock access to new abilities and areas in the overworld.
Explore procedural dungeons.
Glide with your parasol.
Go with friends.
Find treasure.
Upgrade your gear.
"The Establishment" manufactures robots and injects them with human consciousness to explore dangerous environments/dungeons. Dungeons exist in indeterminate quantum states until they are temporarily stabilized by Establishment technology into different configurations every time. Robots who pass the lower dungeons successfully move up the rank and gain access to more dungeons, weapons, and secret confidential areas and information in the overworld HQ (hub world.) Our story follows a robot working up the ranks to face the Establishments "Recruit Exam" -- a gruelling face off with an Establishment-engineered machine in order to earn the license to explore beyond the walls of HQ into the indeterminate void.
Each dungeon exists in an "indeterminate" quantum state until it is stabilized by the Establishment. Players can enter Establishment-approved dungeon branches until they earn their Recruit License and gain access to the stabilization controls.
The pre-approved dungeons include:
Game themes:
Similar games:
7-minute uninterrupted gameplay (and link to development logs playlist):
The dungeon branch selection board. Interact to change the stabilized dungeon. The green balls are the completed dungeons. The skull is the recruit exam with the final boss.
The Gallery: Every dungeon gives you a painting when you complete it. Paintings are hung here for you to remember!
Gear room. Use your rubies to get new cloaks and robot models.
Explore the overworld/hub for secret rooms. The Establishment is full of secret tunnels and hidden areas. Some are even only accessible through glitches, where you will likely find an "iceberg" piece placed there by the developer.
By exploring the secrets of the Establishment overworld, find access to secret worlds and previews of new dungeons. Featured: Covella (the entrance to the underwater ocean dungeon.)
Featured: Zen Temple (The Spirit Playground)
Take the boat from the Zen Temple across the void to the Fog Fields (where you can gain access to the Silver Abyss -- an experimental areas still in development.)
New boss battles! Featuring Solomon The Third, Solpugid, Krak Ness, and others. Face off with these enemies repeatedly in dungeons as they learn and grow along with you!
Thanks for checking out this store page! I hope you like what you see, and if you have any questions about the game, feel free to contact me directly on Discord! I love to connect with my players and hear feedback about this game. Running Robot Man is a dream game of mine, and something I want to continue to developing for many years to come. There is so much content I want to add to it, I could never list it all here (new dungeons, new enemies, endless worlds, software plugins/upgrades for your robot, community dungeon parties, etc.) Your feedback, support, purchases, questions, and sharing with friends all helps me so much! So thanks again for checking out the game, and I hope to hear about your experience with it!
