Astro Nut

About

Astro Nut drops you on a barren alien world with no clear reason why. You quickly meet a weird cast of self-aware southern robots. The mission looks straightforward but quickly gets complicated. You use exploration and quick-time actions to solve puzzles and move forward. The Playdate's crank and screen factor into some challenges. The game is short but packed with quirky humor and unexpected twists. Community reviews highlight the creative use of the Playdate's hardware and the charm of the robot characters. It clocks in at a few hours but feels bigger thanks to its retro pixel art and catchy soundtrack. Released in 2022, it’s a fun pick for Playdate owners seeking a strange but memorable adventure.
