controlling entity – you can rotate it, raise it, lower it,
grasp objects, prolong and withdraw the arm, and so

Littering the environment with random junk that will get in the way in which isn’t an excellent different both,
though I do admire simply the details in levels. It’s much less fascinating than it

and later operates on Bob inside an area station orbiting Earth.
