About
CreatorCrate is a roguelike 2D platformer about an escaped appliance that can create items. The game focuses on fast paced action as you survive emergent, chaotic situations in a procedurally generated world.
You can throw objects, melt through walls with acid, and barricade entrances with furniture.
You must avoid deadly traps and powerful enemies while fighting your way to freedom.
The game takes place on a space station that spins to generate gravity. The station is a giant circle, with floors that are really curved. The levels regenerate on each play through, so you never know what will be in the next room!
Gravity changes as you explore the space station. Closer to the center, you fly gracefully in massive jumps. On the outer edge, you can get violently pulled into space by the force of gravity. Some areas have zero gravity, and you run along walls with magnetic feet and float through the air or propel yourself with fans and other items.
Explosions can break windows, decompressing rooms, putting out fires, and making sections unlivable for humans.
In CreatorCrate, you manipulate physics objects in ways not possible in most games. This is made possible with the Grabber arm!
You have an arm that lets you pick up items, and wave them above your head in any direction.
You can release a knife in mid-air, and it will fly across the room and slash the wires that power security systems. You can hold a table to block bullets. You can snatch a guard's gun and hit them over the head with it to knock them down! You can even construct towers of furniture to escape electrified floors.
You're an escaped 3D printer with legs. Why did they give you legs? I don't know, we'll have to ask corporate.
Being an appliance comes with some benefits. Consume any object to learn its blueprint, and break it down to gain its Matter. For instance: what if you need lots of guns, but all you have lying around is a few humans? EASY! Just use that useless biological matter to print out some handy-dandy firearms.
In need of repairs? Eat those same guns and use their Matter to patch yourself up!
Lonely? JUST PRINT MORE HUMANS!
A word of warning: be careful when printing out some of the more complex biological blueprints. CreatorCrate gets them. . . mostly right.
