Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is a spaceship repair roguelite with excellent animation and a naughty sense of humor

I think that you and I can both agree that being a future space repairman is a cool job, which is why developers Beard Envy have made us Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop, a timeloop roguelite about being a strange four-eyed fox dude armed only with gumption and a very large universal spaceship repair manual who has to make cash fixing ships or face death at the electromechanical trotters of his terrible boss, Uncle Chop. (I'm sure you can find some other ways to die, too.)

And that, I must say, is something like close enough to the space repairman fantasy. Probably. Except for the part where sometimes to fix a ship you open it up and have to play a brutally hard platformer. An unpleasant surprise, to be sure.
