You command the Nimbatus, a mobile drone factory, and design craft from functional parts such as thrusters, weapons, sensors, and logic components. Assign controls to parts, then test how your drone moves and operates under physics.
In Survival, choose a captain and travel between procedurally generated planets to take on missions, gather resources, and fight enemies. Use rewards to expand your parts and research options and upgrade your mothership as you continue.
Sandbox mode lets you build and test without the campaign’s usual constraints. You can also enter competitive arenas with modes such as Sumo, Racing, Brawl, and Catch, or design drones that use sensors and logic parts to act autonomously.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the freedom to build and experiment with custom drones, especially the challenge of using logic parts to automate missions. Sandbox play is another draw. Criticism frequently focuses on repetitive or punishing campaign missions, difficult controls, and frustrating physics or unclear mechanics.
