Story: A forgotten robot, stay alone in Earth with his steely skin is covered by centuries of dust. Then he decides to make a journeys to find love by going thorough many galaxies... Quite sad story but amazing gameplay with retro looks and so much more to come in the initial update. PS: This will be coming out as a Universal app as well. Here are some fake screen on character and world design, we are hoping to receive more of your feedback.
We will be giving promote codes of the game for TA-ers that help us with useful feedback on the thread. Bests, Antony
We're working to refine the gameplay mechanic for now, I will keep posting our working progress to everyone here, hope you like it and also do some feedbacks about it as well.
Do you love the characters? PS: Actually, I'm in a bit trouble here as we're running pretty slow on art progress, this makes the beta delays quite a bit.
Feedback Hey, I think that the graphics looks really nice! The retro look fits! I like the gradient for the colours of the robots. The robot/character doesn't look much like a robot. Robots are usually more square-ish? Or maybe try and change his eyes. It looks too human.. I don't know about the ameplay but I think the first one we have to match our character with the robot that is identical? Maybe this could be some kind of minigame? The second picture, it looks more like a shooter? Where we dodge or shoot down asteroids *maybe other robots? I don't know. Please, when something has been figured out, update us about it so we can have our thoughts shared. Or maybe you can turn this game into a 2D game like Metrod?! 8) Haha I'm dreaming... Anyways this game looks fun to me
I'm really liking what I see so far, especially the character and art style shown. Definitely keeping my eye on this; will be glad to give more impressions as you progress and update the thread. Here's hoping for some great gameplay!
Thank you a lot V!3T, we're discussing about the eyes of the Robot here actually. We're all shocking here in our studio with the sad news from Apple today, so that's why I'm yet finishing the video of the game actually. However, we have the gameplay screen for now, we're trying to keep everything plain and simple, so that's why we don't want to do more complicate things into the game but more about the fun feeling while playing it. Will keep you guys more update on our daily work, from now, to the submission release.
No problem! Yes. We do understand the delay. We were all affected in some ways! The gameplay looks awesome I can't wait for a video! Anyways wish you guys success with Sad Robot!
Thank you everyone, you encourage me a lot by this. I will be posting more interesting info by the end of today. Cheers, Antony

Looking at that I'm kinda worried that the view is too close to the character. That bar on the top - is that for an ad banner?
Yes, we will be checking that more, thank a lot for your advice Echoseven, however, it's not a ad banner, we hate ad model, we're gamers, no gamers love ad. :|
