Humanity has turned its back on the doomed planet Aurora, and the robot Kramer 227 is left to fend for himself.

Now it is up to him to find a way to gather the necessary energy to save his robot friends before Aurora merges with its sun. On his adventurous journey, Kramer will explore the planet, overcome obstacles, and try to wisely manage his limited energy reserves to keep himself and his friends safe.

Kramer collects and shares energy with his fellow robots, helping them escape this nearly hopeless situation. He will have to jump across every platform and explore every corner of the 20 expansive levels to find all his friends. Energy is precious on Aurora, so Kramer must collect batteries or use generators to recharge, as every action costs energy. Various power-ups like jetpacks, energy spheres, and temperature regulators can assist him on his critically important journey.

In Shiny, the goal is to save lives. The game contains no blood or violence.
