What happens when you take a robot, a grappling hook, psychedelic 8-bit art, and a totally sarcastic, unhelpful voice as your guide? Well, something like this:
“Give Up, Robot” is one of those bits of trippy fun we find on the internet. It’s also a pretty hard game. You basically control a robot with a grappling hook, and with various obstacles, topped off with an annoying and sarcastic voice as a “guide”, you try to get to point A to point B with smashing into tiny pixels.
So yeah, it’s Portal, but retro-styled and more colorful. That doesn’t make it less fun though, and if you are somehow to control your frustration at some of the levels (which require really good reflexes), you’ll be rewarded with a good challenge that will give your fingers a good flex.
You can find the game here. Just don’t give up, ok?
