Canari

Canari is a science-fiction dual-stick action roguelike about helping a damaged robot escape a hostile world. A LUMIN (light utility bot) has crash-landed on an inhospitable rock, and its impact has damaged its autopilot. You pilot it through the darkness, fend off creatures with light and try to reunite it with its ship.

The mission

The CANARI Corporation supplies Earth-One with natural resources after humanity’s home world becomes barren. Asteroids and exotic planets hold the resources people need, but astro-mining is too dangerous for humans, so the work is outsourced to robots. You answer the stranded LUMIN’s request for pilot assistance and guide it across dangerous landscapes, facing unique enemy encounters.

Rebuild your robot

You extract energy-rich crystals and find hidden treasures to upgrade your robot, rebuilding it stronger after each death. You can also purchase equipment to strengthen your bot. The levels combine procedural and handcrafted design. Energy keeps the robots running; when it runs out, there are no more robots. Death is certain, but failure is not.
