Defunct
Defunct is an indie adventure game with a focus on flow, speed and an engaging world. You are a broken robot that accidentally falls out of a giant cargo ship onto a post-human Earth, now inhabited by robots. You have to get back to your ship before it’s too late!
You are equipped with a Gravitize engine. It is used to create a separate gravity around yourself; this is the main source of your speed. Use this in downhills to accelerate. But be careful, using it uphill will slow you down. In addition to this the world is full of different speed boosts such as Enerjuice, which you can pick up and use to go faster.

Got this game because it reminds me of Wall-E.. But what i get is more than what I expected.
This game has both beautiful music and scenery to enjoy along your way... It's unlike any speed rush parkour game i've seen. The whole world is one huge open map free for exploring. There are different paths you can take on your journey to reach your next destination. There's even secret areas to explore. You can play it slow or fast the way you like it, enjoy sight seeing and stops by beautiful places taking pictures... or just speed rush it like a Sonic game.
The game play is like a race car control with jumps... very similar to Sonic. While there are side tracks and short cuts you can find along the way, depending on your skill and choice, your path to reach the destination may differs. But the game took care of everyone whether they are good in parkour or not they get to continue the journey and reach the end. So the challenge is yours to decide.
There isn't much a story to tell other than your engine broke down at the start of the game, and on your way to the repair shop you fall into a rubbish dump and gotten yourself thrown out of the cargo ship you were living.. the rest of the game is you exploring the world while trying to catch up with the ship.. WITH a broken engine. The protagonist comes with gravity control unit on him that you can use it to your advantages to speed up and stick to walls or ceiling while continuing your journey. Yes, you can even reach sonic speed with that broken engine if you know how to speed up correctly. And it feels really great! :3
For players who are not used to Racing game with power ups or Sonic type speed challenge, they might not be able to understand the true color of this game because the devs allow players with no skill to continue the journey in other not so exciting paths, you can even go from start to end sticking on the ground without using the gravity system. Those who said the game needs one hour to complete probably didn't try to speed up at all. If you really did play it on full speed, the game is actually less than that.. :3
But for the slower players, the whole game should be like a car ride field trip with nice background music and great scenery along the way.
And since there are different paths to take, secrets areas to visit, unlockable tricks and skins... a few replay is needed for a completionist to check on all that the game has to offer.
In short, I really enjoy this game! For an indie game that started off as a school project, this game is far better than most so called professional work! Great job!
p/s: the soundtracks are worth buying too! really nice music! :3

About an hour long, but boy that was good hour.
Should've been named Sonic the Hedgehog 2020 (or, well, 2016).

Very meditative. Takes 1 hour to finish.

Simple
Beautiful
Relaxing
A small treasure - even to adults - to be played. Although I used a gamepad, the user doesn't need the skills of a piano player to follow the path and execute the tasks demanded by the game. I would play it again as well as purchase it as a gift to a friend.
