About This Game

Humanity’s future. Some assembly required.

Mars needs a colony. You've been given a crew of enthusiastic robots, a limited equipment budget and an alarmingly flexible definition of workplace safety.

Totally Under Control! is a 2D route-building puzzle game about getting your bots home in one piece. They keep walking. You provide the plan.

Ten questionable solutions.
Print ramps, deploy bridges, cut through rock and send a specialist over the top with Gecko Grips. Fit a Jetpack for the long way down, drill a diagonal shortcut or let the Matter Muncher chew straight through the floor. When a route needs a more dramatic adjustment, there's always Core Overload.

Use your tools together. A single well-placed bridge can save an entire shift; a clever scout can open the way for everyone behind. Switch the entry portal on and off to decide when the next wave clocks in.

Think outside the corridor.
Solve 150 missions, from your first cautious crossings to layered worksites with return routes, thick rock deposits and crews of up to 100 bots. Ride giant gears, time your way past industrial presses and make moving platforms part of the plan. Pan, zoom and survey before committing your equipment.

Highly replaceable. Annoyingly lovable.
Meet eager Buzz, heavy-lifting Nut, nervous Bolt and D.O.U.G., the foreman who has concerns. Their chatter, reactions and occasional spectacular failures bring personality to every shift. The cartoon Martian colony stretches into layered parallax scenery, glowing machinery and a sky full of moving details.

Make it home. Then make it better.
Pause to plan, slow the action to half speed or choose Easy mode for five extra bots. Optional hints mark the worksite directly. Return for a full rescue, fewer tools or a faster finish, with separate Normal and Easy records.

  • 150 puzzle missions and ten specialised jobs.
  • Tiny scout teams, big shared routes and shifts of up to 100 bots.
  • Vertical surveying, mouse-wheel zoom and right-drag camera control.
  • Persistent equipment badges and previews for ramps, bridges and blast radius.
  • Optional rescue, tool and time goals for another crack at the route.
  • Adjustable text, colour-assist modes, reduced motion and half-speed play.

Clock in. Look confident. Keep saying the title.
