Space CleanUp: Cosmic Robot Disinfector

About

You’ll pilot a hulking robot with laser nozzles and high pressure jets to scrub algae, sludge, and other space-borne filth off asteroids, spaceships, and abandoned stations. The game blends shooting mechanics with methodical cleaning tasks, aiming to blast debris while avoiding damage to sensitive surfaces. Each level has you juggling speed and precision as you navigate tight corridors or chaotic junkyards. The art style leans into goofy sci-fi absurdity with neon-lit machinery and cartoonish goo splatters. The robot’s upgrade system stands out, swap out tools for different contaminants, from icy sludge to radioactive mold. Early access reviews note the simplicity of gameplay loops makes it easy to power through levels, though some call the lack of multiplayer or deeper worldbuilding a miss. With 15 hours of single player content and a price tag under $40, it’s a breezy pick-up for fans of quirky sim-shooters. Launching on PS4 and Switch in September 2024.
