I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor.

I don't think it necessarily sucks. It's just old and I'm not a fan of it.

It looks like the "good enough" placeholder art that devs put in before they get around to hiring an actual artist. It's serviceable to understand what things are and what's happening, but there's no style to it.

I personally disagree, I really love the dramatic sprite style they've gone with. Everything's so hyper industrial with lovely details when you zoom in.

It’s also so wonderfully mechanical and smoothly animated. Might not hit for those that didn’t grow up with similar styles or something.
