A.N.N.E. is a Metroidvania and space shooter hybrid game where players will play as a worker robot called Number 25.  In A.N.N.E. Number 25 is exploring Planet Gomi in search of his girlfriend. When exploring Planet Gomi players can either us his spaceship or travel on foot.  Depending on which method of travel the player uses the game automatically adjusts the field of view.  This allows players to see more of the environment when flying the ship.

Throughout the game players will collect energy crystals which act as both experience points and in game currency.  As experience points are collected the stats are upgraded automatically.  Also, Number 25 and his ship has stats that or independent of each other.  So when flying the ship experience points collected will go towards the ship and same goes for controlling Number 25 on foot.  The energy crystals can also be used to purchase upgrades for either Number 25 or his ship.
