Originally released for the PlayStation Network, Rochard seems to have elements of Portal, the Xbox Live Arcade game Shadow Complex, and the iOS game Space Miner (all of which are great). The game is in 2.5D, in that the environment is 3D, but you can only move in 2D space. The story concerns astro-miner John Rochard's efforts to keep his crew alive (and employed) as their base becomes overrun with malfunctioning machinery and space bandits.
