What is Defunct?

This single-player racing platformer follows a broken robot trying to return to its cargo ship on a post-human Earth inhabited by robots. You steer through 11 levels, collect speed boosts, and use a gravity engine to accelerate downhill; activating it uphill slows you down.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy replaying time trials to improve your runs
  • +you like finding alternate routes and hidden collectibles

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer races rather than a solo adventure
  • −you prefer simple acceleration without managing slopes and momentum

What players say
