Sasa Overview
Astro Robo is a single-screen shooter where the player navigates a character through distinct stages. The primary objective in each area is to collect all energy packs, which are concealed behind destructible barriers.
Movement operates on a unique physics principle: firing the weapon generates recoil that propels the character in the opposite direction. This system is compounded by a constant gravitational pull, requiring continuous action to maintain altitude and precise positioning.
Resource management is central to progression. Each shot consumes one energy point, and contact with enemies can cause significant depletion. Successfully gathering energy packs rather than destroying them adds to this reserve, which is vital for advancing to later stages. This makes the overall experience challenging, as players must carefully balance propulsion, navigation, and conservation to succeed.
