### 5/5 — Oh, Wow.

*2023-12-13*

I’ve been playing this game for only 30 minutes, and oh boy, do I have a lot to say about it.

I LOVE this game. This will absolutely be one of my go-to’s for trips and stuff. I was looking for fun retro games and I saw this one pop up and I figured, “Seems interesting, let’s try it out.” This has become one of my favorite mobile games in half an hour.

Then there’s the popularity. How is this game not as popular as it should be? This should have millions of downloads, if not more. I haven’t even unlocked any new color palettes yet, but I can already tell it’s going to be worth it.

The controls in Drobot are amazing, too. I love this game’s unique take on backwards-shooting shots and how it makes you move compared to other games.

All in all, this is simply incredible. And for a single developer, too! These are the kinds of games I want to see more of, the old-school ones and ones that will bring back nostalgia (I’m a kid by the way lol). Well that’s enough yammering from me, incredible job on this game.
