Backflip Studios, creators of popular fantasy-themed theme-park building game, Dragonvale, are back with a brand new title. Company head Julian Farrior describes it best as an "Intergalactic Robot Buddy Collecting Game" that also explores the emotional connection you get with robots like R2D2, Twiki, Vincent, Robby the Robot, Clank, and so on. Also? Robot combat.

The world simply needed a better way to explore the resonance of human/robot relationships, herein lies "Gizmonauts". After spending more than a year with "DragonVale" we thought there was room for an even better collecting game, one that allowed you to do more with and further develop your characters and connect more with friends. In this game the robots are all completely 3D allowing for incredible animations with 100's of discoverable parts that encourage unique customization. The result is a much deeper game with stronger character development and progression. In addition, care was taken to create a rich world with animated environments, discoverable items and an impressive soundtrack. Plus we have added robot combat.
