In the sea of porn and multiplayer game recs sometimes Steam recommends you something new. This microplatformer looks the part of a gameboy megaman game and plays a lot more smoothly with a double jump and dash (for reason by default the game has it to where it freezes for a frame upon killing an enemy but this can be turned off). The major strength of the game is how well it transports gameboy platformers to the 21st century this is also the major flaw of the game as it is very short and easy to cheese. There are some modern conviences like damage modifies, infinite lives, and a story mode, but the design is very chaste and doesnt use the power of modern systems like other indie games do. If you are a stickler for value then yeah its about 2 hours for 8$ which isn't great but on sale its definitley worth it. For me the price tag was worth getting a solid dose of retro platforming. Final score: 7/10
The Mega Man series is very loosely themed around rock music. GB Rober is the punk version. The tempo is quicker, the chiptones are crunchier, explosions explodier. Even the story is relatably punk, about a rebel robot sick of working for the Man. Speedrunners should especially take note. It's a quick game with interesting movement options and a risk-reward mechanic that lets you blow through bosses at critical health. (Please do read the in-game manual, though, as the nuances aren't explained elsewhere.)

A love letter to Mega Man except much shorter and much, MUCH more forgiving. Unless you're playing with modifiers to make the game harder for you, you get infinite lives and a fair amount of checkpoints each stage. The game takes 1-2 hours to complete depending on your skill level. (I'm average so I died quite a bit, but not to the point of getting frustrated.) Since this is a fast-paced platformer, the game "feel" is probably the most important thing here, and GB Rober nails it. The controls feel really good, and the gameplay mechanics, while simple, provide enough variety to keep you entertained.
Started playing this in the Demo and it led to the purchase of this game. This is such an amazing game that I found very enjoyable to play. The level design and challenge was just right and I see playing this game over and over many times. Pick this game up and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
A really enjoyable spin on the classic Mega Man-esque platformer! Movement feels really nice with the addition of both a double jump and a dash while still feeling really deliberately paced in levels to keep you on your toes. Also has just absolutely gorgeous visuals, the color palette for this game does wonders for the overall visual design! Just a delightful game to fight landlords and bosses in. Plus, has a ton of options to tailor the difficulty of the game to your own preference, whether that be a harder or easier game than it defaults you to. All in all, highly recommended.
fast paced action, great visuals and music, finally taking down some bosses and landlords.
This is such a charming game! Very fun gameplay :)
A retro inspired platformer that plays like mega man but is fun and a pleasant experience if you want a short but quality game to check out during a day at home.
Just started playing the game but I really enjoyed it so far. I like the feeling of the game, controls are really precise and the movements feel smoothly. The design of GB Rober is just awesome and cute! I think it is quite a challenging game if you're not an experienced gamer, but I am enjoying myself quite a bit, especially when I shot the supervisor at the beginning! I'm really looking forward to fighting the landlords and bosses!
Phenomenal game. [h2]=Gameplay=[/h2] If you've played Megaman, you'll be right at home; I could never get into it, but something about GB Rober makes it much more of an engaging and fun experience for me. Movement wise, you've got quite a bit at your disposal, and I think speedrunners would have a blast with this. You got your double jump, you got a pretty forgiving dash, and you got an incredibly fast roll that I haven't quite figured out how it works, but it's seriously rewarding when you pull it off. Your double jump throws a bullet downwards which is cleverly used in some platforming sections, and can be used to get some clutch wins. Other additions in levels such as water, mushrooms, or ladders keep each level fresh. If that's not enough, you'll get a wide array of weapons unlocked through defeating bosses- all of which have their situational uses. Some more useful than others. The game as a whole experience is smooth and responsive, which is super important, and does not go unnoticed. Never did I once think that a death [i]wasn't[/i] my own fault. [h2]=Level Layout & Enemy Variety=[/h2] As mentioned in other reviews, GB Rober doesn't exactly have the longest playtime, and that's 100% okay; every single level feels special and seems like care was put into it. Some of it can be mildly frustrating because of checkpoint locations, but it sure made winning the level that much more rewarding. Not only is the level layout great, but I was pleasantly surprised at how many enemy types there were, up to the very end, new enemy types were introduced and it kept me on my feet. [h2]=Conclusion=[/h2] If you're into any action/platformer games, it's worth your time to get the demo and experience the gameplay firsthand. As of the time of writing this, it seems the developer plans on making future updates too, which is always a plus for me.
