Price History of Residual

Description of Residual

Residual… a new breed of survival platformer from OrangePixel. In a forgotten galaxy full of strange planets, a lone explorer crash-lands on one with an ancient alien secret. Venture forth from the shipwreck across a harsh, unpredictable, procedurally generated world. Harvest food and make campfires to stay alive. Craft science-fiction survival tools like teleporters and mining devices. Unearth alien technology capable of repairing the ship. Hunger, cosmic storms, hostile plant life and the mysterious ooze are among the many obstacles you’ll face. You won’t be alone! PDB (a snarky floating Personal Disaster Bot) will follow and assist you along the way. Sometimes. PDB also helps you discover the hidden lore, revealing the history of the planet as you explore deeper and deeper, assuming you can survive! OrangePixel’s uniquely designed Nature Engine generates 1000’s of planets from a vast set of environment-based rules, then drops explorers on a world brimming with potential. If a planet orbits close to the sun, intense heat, high winds, and sparse vegetation will pose a set of challenges wildly different from other worlds. Further from the sun, long nights make stamina easier to maintain, but reduced solar power turns every suit function—like scanning the planet—into a critical decision. Residual welcomes players to a non-violent survival experience with limitless possibilities and no traditional combat. Jump and descend through colorful, highly detailed pixel art evoking classic 2D platformers. Solve light puzzles to reveal secrets of a long-lost civilization. Select a male, female, or non-binary protagonist, customize survival parameters like how fast time advances, and race to repair the ship, dig up ancient secrets, or collect data entries on hundreds of undiscovered objects.

Reviews of Residual

  • Controls….

    Just echoing others…. The controls need some tweaking. They just don’t feel right and I’m constantly fighting with them. Maybe even just making the deadzones start a bit beyond the button icons would help…. 🤷🏻

    Other than that, the game is promising. It looks like a really deep game that someone could sit and play for hours at a time.

    Hopefully controller support is added in the future if it’s not already (I plan on getting one in about a month - after Xmas is done with).

    Thank you for the sale!
  • Can you please translate it into Chinese

    I can't understand without Chinese This game has Chinese and many people will play it, so I prefer this kind of game
  • Dark and random

    I really enjoy the game. After buying it on iOS, I grabbed it during a Steam sale as well. On the PC I was able to have success. The problem with this version - it is too dark. I realize I could craft torches, but those don’t last long enough (and crafting materials are limited in the game). Also, I get the sense that the random generation accidentally creates blocked areas that were intended to be passages. At this point, I’ve managed to grab sealant on one world. I have certainly spent time on this game and enjoy many aspects. However, the planets all seem to create an accidental dead end which halts progress.
