The IncastroPC test
Fabio Graziosi · November 2026 · updated on 12 November 2026A pleasant game with a fun idea: you move each of the little robot's legs with a different stick. It's enjoyable to play, but it's mostly aimed at kids and teens, and after a while it doesn't offer an adult much.
What we liked
- +The movement system, original and fun
- +Colorful, polished graphics
- +Works even better in co-op with your kid or a friend
- +Runs without issues on Linux with Proton
Less convincing
- −Aimed more at kids and teens than adults
- −Not much challenge: you get through it without major hiccups
- −Loses some of the fun when played solo
How we tested it
Performance
Average FPS over 6 min 51 s of gameplay, measured with MangoHud. The line marks 60 FPS. Average FPS: how many frames per second on average. 1% low: the FPS in the worst moments (the slowest 1% of frames). The closer the 1% low is to the average, the smoother the game, without stutters.
Also applies to other mini PCs with the same Radeon 780M graphics: Ryzen 7 8845HS, Ryzen 7 8745HS, Ryzen 9 7940HS Same integrated graphics, so similar FPS. They can vary a bit with RAM (speed and dual channel) and with the power limit set by the manufacturer.
Test timeline
Power is the processor's (CPU and graphics) as read by MangoHud: at the wall it's a few watts more. Lighter areas are pauses, menus or loading screens (12 seconds), left out of the calculation.
So, Biped. The idea is simple but brilliant: you control a little two-legged robot, and each stick on the controller moves one leg. The left stick moves the left leg, the right stick the right one. No walk button, no autopilot: every step is on you. For the first few minutes you walk like someone stumbling out of a bar at 3 a.m., tripping, falling off platforms and wondering why you signed up for this. Then you get the hang of it, start walking straight, turning, even sliding down slopes, and it's genuinely charming.
I liked it. It's cute, colorful, with those adorable little robots, and it's fun to play. The levels change setting often and every now and then they throw in a new mechanic to keep you from getting bored.
But let's be honest: it's a game for kids and teens. The levels are easy and there's not much challenge. Once you've figured out how to move the legs, there's not much left that gives you trouble, and after a while, as an adult, you find yourself thinking "okay, I get it." It's not really a flaw — that's just how it's designed.
If you have a kid to play with in co-op, though, it's perfect, and that's where it really shines. Many sections are built specifically for co-op: you have to coordinate, wait for each other, help each other out. And when one of you falls because the other got the timing wrong, there are plenty of laughs. It's one of those games where the fun is more about playing together than finishing it.
On Linux it's zero hassle: GE-Proton, launch and go, no issues for the entire playthrough. The mini PC handles it even in 4K at medium settings without breaking a sweat, and graphically it's not a demanding game. One thing, though: you need a gamepad. With a keyboard, the magic of the game disappears, because all the fun is in those two sticks.
In short: pleasant, well made, ideal for playing together with a kid. Solo and as an adult, though, it doesn't go much further.
