About C.A.R.L.
C.A.R.L. is a retro-style adventure that pays homage to classic PC games like Cave Story, Speedy Eggbert, and Jazz Jackrabbit. You step into the shiny metal shoes of the Computer-Automated Resource Locator, a small automaton lost within the sprawling Kent Industries facility. Your mission: brave perilous factory floors to collect Tech Units for your engineer friend, unlocking new areas and abilities along the way.
The game blends classic 2D platformer action with quirky RPG and story elements. The D.U.M.P. (Depot of Unusable Machines and Parts) serves as your hub, home to defective robots who offer insight and support. Progression is level-based, with each sprint onto the dangerous factory floor requiring precise platforming and puzzle-solving to collect guarded Tech Units.
Features include challenging gauntlets of platforming perfection, puzzles involving doors, switches, and levers, and tons of secrets. Backtrack to completed levels with new abilities to find hidden areas, collectibles, and easter eggs. The charming narrative introduces memorable characters from the D.U.M.P. who help uncover the facility's secrets.
The original 'Electro-Chiptune' soundtrack features 8-bit and DOS-era soundchip-inspired tracks that accompany every step of C.A.R.L.'s journey. With off-beat humor and catchy tunes, this clever retro romp offers endless satisfaction for fans of classic platformers.
