About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Explore the interconnected caverns below the frozen surface and a vast Snowcean above as you set out to rescue friend, foe, and stranger alike in this lo-fi action-adventure!

The surface has been claimed by an Impact Winter but beneath the ice and earth, mankind hibernates. As a young apprentice mechanic, you wake up in the dark. The Power Plant is offline. The Water Treatment Plant seems to be too. The Cryo Colony is in danger!

What begins as a simple trip to fetch your mentor’s wrench sets off a winding journey through the caverns below to a vast Snowcean above to rescue friends, foes, and strangers alike.

Along the way, you'll find and master eight unassuming tools, each opening new paths for exploration. Starting with just the Crank Lantern to light your first steps into the dark and the Wrench Sword to swing at what you find lurking in it, you'll be bounding, drilling, gliding, stomping, and dashing your way across the world of the Ratcheteer by the time you reach the end.

Originally released for the black-and-white Playdate, this updated version reimagines the game in full color with a CD-quality stereo soundtrack and support for 10 languages.

FEATURES:

  • Explore more than 250 rooms across 6 regions and 6 dungeons

  • Master 8 unassuming tools and maybe even an alien language

  • Challenge 6 unique bosses (can you find the secret boss rush time trial?)

  • Play in full Color, Pea Soup green, Playdate gray, or high contrast black-and-white (with optional scanline, grid, and dot overlays)

  • Listen to Matthew Grimm's 8-bit masterpiece with CD-quality stereo sound

  • Experience an original story in 10 supported languages
