Astro Bot is a reminder that 'good artists copy, great artists steal'
Briefly

Astro Bot is an homage to Sony's PlayStation legacy but also honors and iterates on the best platformers, creating something truly spectacular and wholly its own.
The phrase 'good artists copy, great artists steal' fits Astro Bot's development; it's about combining recycled ideas into something unique, rather than creating entirely new concepts.
Astro Bot's design includes elements reminiscent of Nintendo classics, showing how game development is an evolution of existing ideas – it's how art and play work.
Rather than viewing similarities as a negative, seeing Astro Bot's inspirations as a product of decades of good ideas twisted and repurposed makes its existence valuable.
