About Randy & Manilla
Join Randy & Manilla on an adventure through a mysterious quantum cyber-universe filled with Net-Cubes, each containing unique virtual worlds and different gameplay styles.
Each Net-Cube is a world, which contains levels that represent each video game genre.
On this journey, we will encounter different adventure modes such as:
In the year 2142, among the mysteries of the quantum supercomputer created by Lambert Wilson, there is a cyber-universe packed with brightly colored cubes called Net-Cubes. Within them, fantastic virtual worlds of pixelated and abstract structures await. It is free from threats like hackers, cyber-spies and corporate and government organizations. But that doesn't mean that they don’t hold their own dangers; such as the villain of the red Net-Cube: Cracksom Virus. This dominant virus is putting all Net-Cubes in danger of being permanently deleted, so he can expand his empire of computing corruption to the real world, abandoned by humans.
Meanwhile, a messaging algorithm called E-Mailer arrives at the world of Bloxland Qubitown, Randy and Manilla’s home, giving them an urgent warning: the entire cyber-universe is in grave danger of being destroyed by Cracksom. He knows that they are the only ones who can stop his great threat. Moreover, according to the mayor Blue Quantáramo, our heroes hold a hidden programming and power that prevents them from being corrupted by Cracksom himself. And so, they accept the mission to embark on a great adventure through all the different Net-Cubes. E-Mailer will also come along and open portals so our heroes can access the new worlds.

✦ AI summary
Randy and Manilla is an ambitious indie game that offers variety across multiple game genres, with charming visuals and relaxing music that appeals to both retro gaming fans and younger audiences. Players appreciate the inventive genre-switching mechanics and the developer's active involvement in improvements, though the game suffers from technical rough edges including bugs, janky controls on certain platforms, missing progression elements, and the need to manually enable autosave to avoid losing progress. Despite its polish issues, many find the low price and creative scope make it a worthwh
This game is EXTREMELY rough around the edges. I wouldn't even go as far to say it's good. lol That being said, if I didn't like one part of it? The mechanics quickly changed. I kept playing and playing and playing...........6 found this helpful
Nostalgic journey across several genres with minimal challenge and some small bugs. The game takes place in some kind of digital cosmos made up of numerous cubes. Each cube represents an entirely different universe with its own set of rules. However, there is one red cube ruled by an evil ruler who releases viruses to infect other cubes. Fortunately, there is one seemingly ordinary pair that can save the entire universe. The most appealing feature is that each world belongs to a different game genre. For example, the first is a 3D platformer, the second a universe of arcade machines, the third an action RPG, and so on. Although you can use a spacecraft to go throughout the digital galaxy and visit cubes on your own, there is a clear path through the game and you can only access the cube that is next on the list. You can also select the playable character when you first enter the world, but both play the same. Each cube has a number of stages and a boss fight that must be completed in accordance with its genre. For the platformer cube, you run about gathering shiny collectibles, punching or shooting enemies, and completing easy jumping challenges. Platforming can be considered th…5 found this helpful
Edit: creator says it's because I was too close to the cubes when I was destroying them for two of the cubes to count, but he would try to patch it. Edit Play here again: https://youtu.be/I6QuSBqXYDc One of the Stages that requires cubes to be broken is missing two cubes which unless there super secret hidden it's impossible to progress past the cube stage. Play here: https://youtu.be/FhCdKB-gpK4 I really like the visuals and the music is pretty relaxing to me it seems more centered to a younger audience, but still a nice little throw back to retro platforming games. It is a shame that the game doesn't autosave unless you check the box at the start of the game so it's highly recommended to check auto save since going into the third world I chose manilla and the game crashed. The game play is a bit rough with the characters being slidey as they'll travel a bit further past what you and it may be better on controller, but on pc it takes some getting used to.2 found this helpful
Fun little platfomer with alot of suprises1 found this helpful
Randy and Manilla is an ambitious and charming little game. The controls are a little bit janky on the Steam Deck but the developer is actively working to address that. Other than the control issue, it runs well both on Steam Deck and Linux. The graphics are cartoony and look great, and the performance is excellent. The multiple genres that it includes keeps it fresh and interesting way more than it would if it was just a platformer, or a puzzler, etc. The amount of work it must have taken to create this does not line up with the price tag; Randy and Manilla is easily underpriced and you should grab a copy before the developer fixes that. :) An easy recommend from me.1 found this helpful
Randy & Manilla is a cute and fun game where it doesn't need just 1 genre to be entertaining. I recommend this game to be played in off time if you have a job OR just in general if you are child or adult! Some things aren't exactly spelled out on what you can do BUT it's nothing you can't figure out just by pressing buttons 9/101 found this helpful
