Does he bend or clink? The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has picked another indie title for this episode. Developed and published by Scotland-based Stormcloud Games, this platformer has players building the literal platforms they need to proceed. The protagonist is a retro robot named UM-13 that's definitely not an orange reskin of a similar robot from another animated IP. Suffice to say, Tom and Chris had not heard of this game before it was chosen, and we're guessing you haven't either. At this point, our dynamic duo have each spent an hour solving puzzles and platforming their way through levels styled after graphic novels and they are ready to give you their (comic)book report. Will they decide it is a hidden gem or a pile of scrap that's not even worth the salvage? Hit play to find out! What do you think? Let us know! Check out all our links here: https://linktr.ee/tc1h1d Thanks for taking this ride with us :-)

TomHost

1:22

All right.

T

TomHost

1:23

What kind of game is this? Okay.

T

TomHost

1:25

So I put third person puzzle platformer and to be a little tongue in cheek, I underlined the word platform.

C

ChrisHost

1:36

Yeah.

C

ChrisHost

1:36

I wrote the same exact thing.

T

TomHost

1:38

I didn't do the underline

C

ChrisHost

1:38

though.

C

ChrisHost

1:40

So yeah.

C

ChrisHost

1:41

Yeah.

C

ChrisHost

1:41

I think that's what it is.

C

ChrisHost

1:42

It's a third person puzzle platformer.

C

ChrisHost

1:44

What else could it be? I'd be kind of curious if someone else had a different definition.

C

ChrisHost

1:49

Are you a person?

T

TomHost

1:52

What defines a person? Philosophy says.

T

TomHost

1:56

Yeah,

C

ChrisHost

1:57

yeah, that's a fair point.

T

TomHost

1:58

They pass a Turing test, I think they are.

T

TomHost

2:01

But you are controlling them.

T

TomHost

2:03

Yeah, it's true.

T

TomHost

2:04

I

C

ChrisHost

2:04

don't know.

C

ChrisHost

2:04

All

T

TomHost

2:05

right, what about the game loop? I wrote travel environments to pick up resources, scrap, to build elsewhere to solve platform puzzles.

C

ChrisHost

2:16

Okay.

C

ChrisHost

2:16

Okay.
