Roguelike deckbuilders often have the feeling of creating a damage-dealing engine with your card abilities, but it seems more literal here. The different modules you can append to your rack can either generate energy, modify it, or spend it to attack your foes, and you’ll be deciding what modules to add, swap out and how to wire them together. From the look of it, it also reminds me of various Zachtronics games.

It seems you can also use your machinery to move forwards or backwards in time. In practice, this looks to be altering the turn order of attacks, letting you skip enemy moves or grant yourself multiple opportunities to strike.

My only real problem is that the name “Slopper Johnson” turns out to be the exact opposite of “cellar door”, . Thankfully there’s some hope there, too: regarding the name, the developercommented on Twitterthat “the final decision in this respect hasn’t been made.” For now, you can find out more about Slopper Johnson: Graviton Agentover on its Steam pageorin this longer video.
