The Pain of Nextbot

The Pain of Nextbot is the kind of action game you pick up for five minutes and lose an hour to. Clear the level, take out the boss, and see how deep into the game you can get before you fall. Controls: On desktop, arrow keys and spacebar handle most of what you need. On mobile, tap and swipe cover the same moves.
