Hello, welcome to the Canaan Rinse podcast.

This is volume 14, issue 680, and we're talking about Astrobot.

That cute little bot.

I was about to say that cute little guy.

I don't know if it's a guy.

It's a bot.

Joining me, Thomas Quilfelt, in this issue, is Chris O'Regan.

Hello.

And Carmoon.

Hey, everyone.

And pour one out for poor Leon, who has had a rather bad back injury. And sadly,

can't host, he can't sit sit and he's very upset to miss

this one but hopefully we're going to have a great discussion and we've got lots and lots and

lots of feedback from the community because this is a beloved game astrobot is a 3d platformer

that's it no other descriptors no other genre qualifiers. It's pretty straightforward.

We've got a little bit of feedback actually from Robin Enrico from Patreon who says,

After all the talk of how much this game relied heavily on Sony slash gaming nostalgia,

I was surprised to find how much of this game is Astrobots,

from neon casinos to planters in the sky. The majority of the levels feel like a continuation

of levels from Astros rescue. And most of the homage level just feels like Astrobot having an

adventure in, say, robot dinosaur land. It's only the loco-roco and ape escape levels where I fully felt I was playing another

game to the point where I thought they should make another one of those.
