Backspace

If Deus Ex's Adam Jensen shrank you to cell size before injecting you into his cyber-arm (I never asked for that mental imagery), you'd probably see something like Backspace . In the works by indie studio Megabot and due sometime this year, the glowy top-down shooter presents a different take on the computer hacking theme with multi-tiered spherical levels and utilitarian cargo.

Puzzles, which look like a mix of alarm avoidance, timing, and toggle shooting, often require you to haul along a certain piece of cargo or powerup such as a retrievable explosive for the correct solution. I especially like this feature—any tool-based challenges warm my nanobot-infested-heart.

Read up on more Backspace info on Megabot's website , and thanks to RPS for the spot.
