The little rusty robot in Rusty Robot Wants to Cry

One little robot, one door, and rules that keep changing — that is the hook of a retro arcade mashup that jumps from bouncing to digging to claiming territory, sometimes with the boss helping and sometimes with the boss in the way.

Retro arcade chaos. Launching November 17.

I’m Andrei Fomin, the solo developer of Rusty Robot Wants to Cry. The game launches on Steam on November 17, and I’d love to offer you a key to play and cover the full game before release.

One key. One door. Constantly changing rules.

A little rusty robot remixes Arkanoid, Xonix, Digger, Snake, and more into one colorful arcade platformer. One moment you’re jumping across platforms; the next you’re digging, bouncing, or claiming territory. Even the glitch bosses change the rules: sometimes you fight them, sometimes you need their help!

There are 100+ levels, three-star challenges, ridiculous visual effects, and chiptune music synthesized on the fly.

You can play, stream, and publish videos or reviews immediately – no embargo.

Thanks for taking a look!

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
