About

Steampunk shoot 'em up meets endless runner. Dr Leyla Green's laboratory has been compromised. Hordes of her malformed creations have been unleashed onto the streets by a mystery menace. Worried that her funding will be cut off if the world is destroyed, Dr. Green sets out to stop them. She'll bring her only remaining creation, the Juggerbot, a giant robotic war machine, on this epic journey. Can she take back the city? Armed with her mystical metacarpal claw and the Juggerbot's nuclear lasers, typhoon missiles and blaster cannon, they will give it their best try. Enjoy dual gameplay where the player dynamically swaps between platforming and fighting with Leyla and shooting with the Juggerbot in real time. Fight massive bosses, travel across a vast steampunk landscape, and enjoy a game with no ads and no in app purchases!

    Visually, it’s a mixed bag of somehow being charmingly awkward looking at times. It really does invoke memories of old games, which makes it so close to being something special in a retro gaming kind of way. It doesn’t hit the spot there though. Perhaps in an update or two, it’ll be a more compelling experience. The foundations might be there, but it needs to have so much more going for it to truly grab your attention. For now, there are far better auto-runners out there.

    Goodnight Games has made an interesting action game in Malevolent Machines [$1.99]. It's a game with some clever ideas, and a unique art style that looks both a little ugly and yet detailed and stylish in its own way. It's a game with some bugs and issues, but a lot of good ideas at the heart that shine through the experience. It's an experience that may be off-putting to some folks, but its unique charms and quirks wormed its way into my heart as an entertaining and unique action game.
