Freaking Meatbags

Freaking Meatbags puts you in the role of a cleaning robot sent to gather valuable materials from planets before the solar system is destroyed. You collect resources, build and repair a base during the day, then defend it from wild robots after dark. Humans live on the planets, and you can direct them to carry resources and perform other limited tasks.

Build and defend your base

You can create and upgrade 15 offensive and defensive structures, including defenses that use lasers, missiles and electricity, as well as personal attack drones. Nine pieces of buildable technology let you manage the base and influence the battlefield, with options such as healing and drone construction. Humans can power up buildings when placed in towers.

Create human hybrids

By mixing DNA from humans and alien species, you can breed hybrids with special abilities. The DNA system includes hundreds of alien-human combinations and seven genes. You can also implant alien biotechnology to motivate humans when they are tired, bored or apathetic. Meatbags can be equipped with jetpacks, hoverboards and rocket launchers.

Planets and enemies

You explore multiple planets and environments, encounter and talk with four alien species, and take DNA from them. Eight types of wild robots attack, from crawling enemies to ones that dash and explode. Three boss robots, including one with a giant brain, can be fought with turrets; a later update adds a jumping boss and a hidden zombie planet. The game also features a giant trans-dimensional space squid.

Additional systems

Overclocking lets you see the world in slow motion. The game also includes over 50 gameplay, sound and interface improvements.
