Cute short game, finished it in about 46 minutes.
The puzzles are easy but satisfying, there are some interesting and fun mechanics; too bad the best one was saved for the last chapter, though I would say it makes sense given the way the different mechs are introduced.

Fun platformer on the PSVita, very easy platinum trophy.

Played for job reasons (long story) and because it was a buck on PSN.

Game is fun, very easy but smooth-playing puzzle platformer. I'm usually pushed away from these because the puzzles get too intricate and cause the pacing to slow to a crawl - y'know, going from 15 second puzzles to 5-10 puzzles across a 20-hour game with no window dressing. But this one's brisk from start to finish, I never felt I was burning more than a minute per stage and I got into a really nice platforming and brain-tickling rhythm. Like a good hour time-waster.

It's got those 'indie' quirks tho. Your collision box lines up with the edges of your feet, but the character's sprite's arm extends further than that, so you'll go for a lot of jumps and just fall off a ledge because your collision is cut off like 12 pixels before the actual end of the sprite. The jump feels terrible - you rise and fall too quick, and it doesn't go very high. It's nothing visually interesting, there's no plot or hook, music is very stock-sounding, and there's very little challenge. I'd harp on the 'aseprite tutorial'-ass graphics but that's a low blow, it's the shtick that comes with having No Money for these hobby projects.

Yeah also this has a platinum that's embarrassingly easy to get, PSN said 90% of players got it. I don't even think you need to get everything to get it, what's up with that lmao-

Full Review + Trophy Review and Tips Below (Easy Platinum)

Played on PS VITA. Like many other games on this list, it is a very simple puzzle platformer. There is one path with a few "puzzle" elements that mainly consist of shooting a robot to move ahead in the level. As far as easy platinums go, this one is at least fun enough.

Trophies
Difficulty: 1/10
Time: 45 Minutes
Trophy Guide: Not Needed
Trophy List Score: 6/10

Your goal is to gather 48 batteries, which essentially means beating the first two areas (Desert and Jungle) that have 24 levels each. By doing so you will get the rest of the trophies that consist of weapon pick ups and meeting the different enemies.

Happy Trophy Hunting!
