Mashina

Mashina is a digging adventure by the developers behind Judero. You play as Mashina, a friendly mining robot tasked with finding minerals to help mend, build, and nurture her quirky robot community. Everything in Mashina is handmade out of various materials and animated using traditional stop-motion techniques. The development team then turns the animations into textures and sprites that are used in the game, adding normal maps which let them have dynamic lighting and shadows.

  • Digging / Mining: An entire under world to explore and dig around! Dig by hand, use your radar to find precious items and work your way up to a fully automated process with tools and inventions you find along the way!
  • Inventory Management: Digging up minerals, trinkets and treasures takes up a lot of space! Make sure you manage your inventory to maximize your time in the under world.
  • Secret Items and Unlockables: Excavate rare minerals, find items that help you unlock new inventions and friends that will join you and help you on your adventure!
  • Equipment Upgrades: Upgrade your digging and mining equipment to maximize your under world operation!
  • Exploration and Base Building: Take the items you find in the under world above ground! Friends around your island help you in all sorts of ways!
