TIC

A game by RedCandy Games for Xbox 360, originally released in 2011.
In the introduction to TIC: Part 1, we learn that an oil-rich planet has come under attack from the interplanetary EvilCorp – comprised of evil capitalist mining robots – with a mission to drain the planet of its most valuable resource. The peaceful Molepeople who once watched over the land are forced underground by the attackers, and it is up to an industrial robot named Tic to save the day.

Tic is a somewhat odd-looking machine. He has a smokestack on top, a drill for an arm, and he rides around on a single wheel like a unicycle. He also has a flip-top head from which a helicopter blade emerges, giving him the ability to fly around for a limited time.
