Evaluation

Mashina launched on July 31, 2025 as a complete, self-contained adventure game. Since launch, the developers have issued a handful of patches — a few adding small quality-of-life features like camera movement in build mode and inventory improvements, and others fixing bugs and improving performance. The most recent developer communication was a bug fix patch on March 17, 2026. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions or future content, no roadmap, and no developer statements pointing to planned additions. The post-launch activity consists entirely of maintenance and polish work rather than a pattern of major content releases. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product, with ongoing support to keep it running smoothly.

About this game

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.

Gameplay 

The Gameplay in Mashina is divided into two distinct sections; a deep, mysterious underground full of trinkets and minerals and a vibrant, fully explorable 3D Overground.

Underground

A lot of the game will be spent exploring, discovering and reclaiming the underground world. 

  • Use your radar to scope out objects of interest.

  • Dig to excavate rare minerals. 

  • Store the rare minerals safely in Mashina's backpack

  • Deposit those minerals in your underground base

  • Build helpful machines to aid your excavations

  • Find robot pals, treasures, trinkets and more

    Explore the underground and discover an adventure waiting to happen.

Overground

  • Meet locals and get missions

  • Upgrade your equipment

  • Decorate your surroundings

  • Explore and find collectables and secrets

Art Style

Everything in Mashina is handmade out of various materials and animated using traditional stop-motion techniques. We then turn the animations into textures and sprites we can use in game, adding normal maps which let us have dynamic lighting and shadows.

Music and Sound

Music is an important part of our work. For Mashina we are making the extensive soundtrack using retro synths to make a sublime soundscape to chill out and dig to. All the sound effects are made using old synths too, to keep in keeping with the score.

Our robots are all fully voice acted and are voiced by some very talented people from across the gaming world and beyond.
