Residual
AdventureAbout this app
Residual… a new breed of survival platformer from OrangePixel.
In a forgotten galaxy full of strange planets, a lone explorer crash-lands on one with an ancient alien secret. Venture forth from the shipwreck across a harsh, unpredictable, procedurally generated world. Harvest food and make campfires to stay alive. Craft science-fiction survival tools like teleporters and mining devices. Unearth alien technology capable of repairing the ship. Hunger, cosmic storms, hostile plant life and the mysterious ooze are among the many obstacles you’ll face.
You won’t be alone! PDB (a snarky floating Personal Disaster Bot) will follow and assist you along the way. Sometimes. PDB also helps you discover the hidden lore, revealing the history of the planet as you explore deeper and deeper, assuming you can survive!
OrangePixel’s uniquely designed Nature Engine generates 1000’s of planets from a vast set of environment-based rules, then drops explorers on a world brimming with potential. If a planet orbits close to the sun, intense heat, high winds, and sparse vegetation will pose a set of challenges wildly different from other worlds. Further from the sun, long nights make stamina easier to maintain, but reduced solar power turns every suit function—like scanning the planet—into a critical decision.
Residual welcomes players to a non-violent survival experience with limitless possibilities and no traditional combat. Jump and descend through colorful, highly detailed pixel art evoking classic 2D platformers. Solve light puzzles to reveal secrets of a long-lost civilization. Select a male, female, or non-binary protagonist, customize survival parameters like how fast time advances, and race to repair the ship, dig up ancient secrets, or collect data entries on hundreds of undiscovered objects.

Ratings and Reviews
Having watched the developer create this on his awesome YouTube channel, you can see the passion that has been poured into this game. It's a very unique experience of exploration and crafting and is worth every penny. The pixel art is gorgeous and the random nature of the world's means you can pour hours into it. If you want a world to get lost in, then this is the one for you.
A retro feeling sidescrolling survival platformer. It plays quite well, but I do find myself not understanding what to do next sometimes. It has controller support, which is a bonus.
Think of it as Starbound Lite. Its not as complex, not as flashy, but it is very enjoyable, and worth playing. There are obviously some control issues, but if you're a proficient mobile gamer, then you'll adjust nicely to it. Overall, a very solid game with great graphics, excellent music, and good gameplay.
Gets boring after awhile no action and when you fall asleep you end up back in your ship which is daft also I craft a campfire light it up but couldn't sleep then ended up falling asleep to end up back at the ship would be alot better if when you did end up asleep you lose a bit of health instead of going back to the ship which is so stupid and totally ruined the game for me
Thought I'd give it another go glad I did I'm really enjoying it this time 😊 just finished first planet 😄 fantastic game
