Xanthius [Players Premiere]

Ok, a planetoid named Xanthius was chosen for human colonization, so hordes of robots were sent there to build some machinery to change the atmosphere into something more breathable by human lungs, and to wipe away all the corrosive gases in the air - but something went wrong, and, of course, you're the robot they've sent up there to see what happened and to mend what's broken. There are 8 Atmosphere Processing stations to repair, and when one shuts down completely the air around it begins to become heavy and to corrode your robot. You can charge and discharge each station, and their level can be constantly seen on the upper screen, and order some spare parts from a terminal.
In short, maze-platformer with neat, elegant and colourful graphics, but affected by the Wander Around Boringly syndrome while you explore the maze to succeed in your unexciting mission

2,5/5

Well at least it's sort of a game but it's far too tedious to take seriously.

I got this game when i was a kid, and spent alot of time wandering around. I didn't knew what to do, and I didn't even knew that i can "enter" the stations, so the only thing I was left with is destroying the mushrooms. So i though that it was a sophisticated mushroom collection simulator.

Anyway, the game is somewhat boring, but I still have some good memories about it, so… Average, i guess.

Oh, yeah, i later realised that i have to fix that broken machinery, and even found a way to get more replacement parts. But squashing mushrooms is still more fun.

Try it if you have nothing better to do, and feel yourself in the mood for exploring a big world. The game doesn't need fast reflexes, so you can walk around without being killed.
