Picker Bot 42
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
PB42
Your peaceful work assignment goes wrong as your navigation system gets damaged by some pesky space debris. Luckily, the picker bot spaceships have one backup route to the Merchant Bay, a big trade hub. After the emergency landing on a seemingly lifeless planet, PB42 discovers that it is full of artifacts from its former inhabitants. A perfect job for a picker bot. But the sound sensors detect some rustle from beneath. Something is lurking…
Upgrade to return home
The Merchant Bay offers scrap parts from different types of bots. If you have credits, of course. Thrusters, blasters, homing missiles, illumination, extra durability, you name it. And what’s that over there in the back? A shiny new navigation system? How in the universe can an ordinary picker bot afford it though...

Thank you for being here
Made with love as a solo project to learn coding and drawing. Would appreciate if you consider playing. But regardless, thank you for being here!
Would love to release the android version on Google Play too. No ads, no monetization whatsoever. But as per the new rules, this requires some testing efforts. If you enjoyed the game or would simply like to help out, kindly consider becoming a tester! Send me an email at teplogames@gmail.com or reach out on X (Twitter) @AntonLtk
All the best to you good people
