Find a blink orb and a fire cube? Take these to the droidsmith aboard Songbringer to craft a fire orb enabling Roq to teleport forward a few steps while turning into a fireball. Some items Roq discovers can be combined to create distinct artifacts. By eating cacti, Roq gains psychedelic powers and is able to perceive the secrets that lurk in plain sight. Some are tough as nails with overwhelmingly difficult foes, mobs and bosses.Įverywhere one looks, there is much that is not seen.Some are secret, hidden side quests in which abilities can be gained.Some are thematic, containing puzzles and items integral to completing the world.Of the nine dungeons Roq and Jib can uncover in each world: You aren't even required to pick up the sword. Head in any compass direction you like or play dungeons out of order. The generated overworld is open and non-linear. Or enter a seed you are familiar with for a speed run. Play a new seed and surprise yourself with a new world. Thus lore and competition can be shared with others.

Jib is automatically controlled by AI, or player two can play Jib in local co-op mode. He can also gain the ability to stun foes.

Growing up, he took an interest in programming artificial intelligence, eventually making a career for himself. Jib began life as a human boy on the skycity planet Yuerder.

The sword is pretty fraggin' sweet though. When Roq finds the nanosword hidden in a cave on Ekzera, he unwittingly awakens an ancient evil. With a propensity for partying and making music, he cruises the galaxy with his skybot Jib aboard the ship Songbringer, searching for verdant planets absent the presence of galactic police.
