Description by OrangePixel(from Google Play)
DEVELOPER NOTE: if you are running on Android version lower than 11, an update is coming in 1 or 2 days fixing the start-up crash! (sorry)
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.

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 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 side scrolling 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.
★★★★★
I was apprehensive because of the reviews, but I saw a character select screen and decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did. The graphics are pretty, and the game play is like a platformer. The only things upsetting me are the health bars that flicker in and out and they 5 list what they correspond to (health, food, sleep) and the voice of the robo was grating, but you can turn robo voice off in the settings. You can also change the timescale in the settings.
★★☆☆☆
This game is an absolute mess. I have to play it in battery saver mode to get it to run at the correct speed. The controls are abysmal. I have been playing for hours to get the required sealant to get off the first planet, then my backpack gets a hole in it, and I lose the required blazer behind a block, breaking the game. Who puts a mechanic like that into a game? Too bad I spent too much time just trying to get the game to run in order to get a refund.
★★☆☆☆
Constantly crashes trying to load a saved game. Unable to play once you initially start your adventure then close the app for the first time, never to play your adventure again unless you restart over and over again. 32 bit chip on 3 GB of free RAM, with a 32 GB extended storage SD XC card. I run way more hardware taxing games than this, that run perfect. This app struggles quite a bit. Needs major optimization.
★★☆☆☆
Completely unplayable on my device Gfold3. Game is so sped up. I should have tried right after I purchased it so I could have refunded. Waste of money
★★☆☆☆
Hey Orange Pixel, I just bought and tried this game, just after I got out from the plane after the intro sequence, the game lagged so slow on my POCO M4 Pro 4G. Any fixes soon on next update? I really love the pixel art so far.
