Overview

Delayed is a unique take on the precision platformer genre, developed by PentaByte and KitaNamiGames. Instead of direct control, players program the movements of NEXA MODEL Robots as ECHO, an AI. This creates a challenging experience where every action must be meticulously planned and executed. With no room for error, flawed logic or mistimed commands lead to immediate failure, making each successful sequence incredibly rewarding.

Highlights

Unique Programming Mechanic: Control robots by programming their movements, including walking, jumping, and waiting, with no real-time intervention.
Challenging Precision Platforming: Experience a difficult, puzzle-platformer where precise logic and timing are paramount to success.
Indie Adventure: Dive into a 2D alternate history world with a focus on single-player gameplay and Steam Achievements.

If you love precision platformers, puzzle games, and the satisfaction of overcoming complex programming-based obstacles, Delayed offers a truly unique experience. It's also suitable for those who enjoy games playable without timed input, allowing for careful consideration of each programmed step.
