The gameplay footage reveals that Astro Bot features a main hub, where all the bots are gathered. Some larger bots such as Trico and Tallneck from the Horizon series can also be seen. There’s a button available to switch to a “Space Map”. The map in the footage has two dessert biomes, one tropical and the other ice themed. Entering new sections of the main hub and accessing new levels requires a certain number of bots to be rescued. After you have gathered the required amount, you’ll be able to build a bridge with them to cross to a new area.
