Speebot Demo

Games with simple mechanics are designed to help gamers have fun without having to be familiar with a ton of other rules first. Granted, they still need a fair bit of complexity, otherwise the experience becomes repetitive and boring in a rush. Hence, as simple as they are, the developers actually have to put a lot of thought into a well-made casual game.

Speebot is a top-down platformer in which you control a robot as it explores colorful environments and navigates tricky landscapes along the way. Your main goal is to reach the finish line at the end of each stage, but to get there you have to perform many calculated jumps from one platform to the other. The underlying mechanics are as basic as they come, but putting them into practice is a whole different story.

The full game features four different worlds to explore, and each one of them is unique in terms of landscape and obstacles. Not much changes gameplay-wise, but the levels certainly get trickier and trickier as you advance. Puzzles block your way sometimes as well, and they can be quite difficult to solve every once in a blue moon.

As anyone will tell you, the controls are quintessential in a platformer, given the fact that the whole concept relies on your ability to react quickly and perform fast combos. Thankfully, everything is well in this regard when it comes to Speebot, so you do not have to worry about input lag or anything of the sort. The game even supports a gamepad if that’s more familiar to you.

Lastly, the graphics are of little concern in the genre, but they help with immersion and the atmosphere. Speebot features a simple and colorful graphic style, which goes along perfectly with the mood and the theme of the game. The same can be said about the soundtrack that keeps you company throughout the levels.

In the end, Speebot has all the right elements to attract both seasoned platformer fans and newcomers to the genre. It also has enough content to keep you busy for many hours on end.
