SMIB: Mission Cure

I don't play or review early access games, plenty of supposedly finished ones (often in early access state still), but when they undoubtedly get abandoned for whatever reason, might as well see what's what, as that's most likely as good as they'll ever get. since I liked the dev's first game, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/1090790]magicolors[/url], despite its flaws, I picked this up as soon as it came out in november 2020, with the estimate of 60-120 days spent in early access. [b]it received ZERO updates in 2 years[/b] and the developers have moved on without explaining the situation. they even had [url=https://store.steampowered.com/developer/menssana]mens sana[/url], developer of pretty good casual puzzle games, on board, so it's an even bigger disappointment. they said it was a financial decision, which I'm sure is true and very sad, but none of the player's concern. it's a sci-fi puzzler, [b]12 levels[/b] unlocked one by one on a single planet (they were going for 30-36 and more locations in the finished game), and all you do is give the robot instructions to reach the exit.

SMIB: Mission Cure is a somewhat badly made abandoned Early Access 3D/iso looking adventure game from the notorious asset flippers at Mens Sana Interactive, publishing as "Visual Arts Studio" to hide their identity (but they goofed and left their name in the game credits... without crediting any of the Unity assets they ripped off from real game developers, tsk tsk). It's a poorly made mobile app tier Sokoban like puzzle game with bad graphics... let's face it, this was never a serious attempt at making a game, it's just shovelware cash grab stuff. The game was abandoned roughly tree days after launch and hasn't been updated in over two years. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game, and will almost certainly never be finished. The developers just leave this on Steam in the hopes they can scam someone into buying an unfinished product. Sounds harsh? These guys have history: Mens Sana Interactive are known asset flippers and have previously taken other developers work and put it on Steam in an attempt to scam gamers and get paid for someone else's effort. Mens Sana Interactive have shown a repeated pattern of trying to scam gamers, here are some example…

I have a personal policy of never buying Early Access games. This one makes me feel I should stick to that policy no matter what.

SMIB: Mission Cure is a lighthearted puzzle adventure developed and published by Virtual Arts Studio. Built around a unique programming-inspired gameplay system, the game tells the story of a small robot named SMIB who is sent on an interplanetary journey to find a cure for a strange problem affecting humanity: people have forgotten how to smile. While the premise is simple and whimsical, it provides a charming framework for a puzzle-focused experience that emphasizes logic, planning, and experimentation rather than action or fast reflexes. The game's defining feature is its command-based puzzle design. Instead of controlling the protagonist directly, players create sequences of instructions that SMIB follows automatically. Each stage becomes a test of foresight, requiring careful planning before execution. This approach gives the game a strategic feel, as every movement must be considered in advance. The mechanics are easy to understand at first, but later challenges gradually introduce additional layers of complexity that encourage players to think critically and adapt their strategies. Fans of puzzle games that reward patience and analytical thinking will likely appreciate the …
