Pinbot
Synopsis
Arks, mammoth interstellar vessels, usher hordes of Earth’s inhabitants away from the overpopulated confines of their homeworld, embarking on epic odysseys towards distant extrasolar colonies. These voyages span decades, with the colonists slumbering in cryogenic stasis, tended to by a myriad of machines. A diverse array of robots tirelessly manages everything from crafting essential commodities to constructing prospective settlements and safeguarding the colossal spacecraft.
Contrary to the vast cosmic emptiness previously assumed, the void is teeming with robotic entities that thrive on consuming metallic remnants—relics of vanished extraterrestrial civilizations. However, the arks are fortified with an intricate network of defense mechanisms, among which the most intriguing is the Pinbot. This enigmatic guardian combines curiosity and efficiency, embodying an unparalleled fusion of technology and artificial intelligence.

I love this game!!! I can't believe there never was a 3D successor to the brick breaker concept. I also can't believe just one man made all this progression happen. The gameplay induces relaxation and ultimate focus while sitting back, tuning out in a relaxed state. The gameplay is not rage inducing, or rage quit inducing. It's perfect zen time. There are plenty of power ups and additional lives to keep one going further while developing skill. The music is cheerful, arcade-style sound experience and was nailed perfectly. If I could add one thing it would be a global leaderboard to show off my scores against others. Ultimately, this game IS why we need indie games and indie developers! I did see the game changed price by lowering it $5 since I bought it on sale for $5 off. So the total amount decreased was by $10. i do think it's a very fair move and adjusted fairly for huge market. One would say they lost $5, I would say I gained more self respect for supporting such a talented game maker and I hope to see more from this developer.
