About Picker Bot 42
Explore, discover items, find Wassie lore, upgrade PB42 to gloriously defeat mutant plants and fly back home
Your peaceful work assignment goes wrong as your navigation system gets damaged by some pesky space debris. Luckily, the picker bot spaceships have one backup route to the Merchant Bay, a big trade hub. After the emergency landing on a seemingly lifeless planet, PB42 discovers that it is full of artifacts from its former inhabitants. A perfect job for a picker bot. But the sound sensors detect some rustle from beneath. Something is lurking…
Platform you way through the underground rift, which changes every time you enter. But listen carefully, as something is lurking in the dark and you as a picker bot are not equipped for those encounters yet. Find and pick up various collectibles, check their values and drop what's worth less, but such precious artifacts will always sell well at the Merchant Bay.
The Merchant Bay offers scrap parts from different types of bots. If you have credits, of course. Thrusters, blasters, homing missiles, illumination, extra durability, you name it. And what’s that over there in the back, behind the gruesome Merchant Wassie? A shiny new navigation system to replace your damaged one? How in the universe can an ordinary picker bot afford it though...
Splurge on a blaster and you want regret it, as those angry mutant plants hold lots of extraordinary artifcats and guard chests with even more valuable loot. And completing the item sets can definitely be lucrative.
Upgrade PB42 into a formidable machine to finally navigate back home.

Not a lot going on here BUT what there is? Good.3 found this helpful
"Picker Bot 42" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro pixel amateur platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. What do you do in the game? 2D retro pixel platforming... not speedrunning, or adventuring, just jump around. This is shallower than Super Mario Bros from the 1980s. I think if you're trying to develop a game and you can't even come close to the games from 40 years ago, it may be too early to hang up that Starbucks apron. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say th…1 found this helpful
