- Basics
- Move your robot in any direction & plan your path so that you activate all the switches on the level and make it through the open exit gate.
- Levels
- This game has 26 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
- You can replay previously beat levels at any time.
- Features
- Robot – this is the main player you control. It moves in any of the 4 directions you suggest until it runs into a wall or an orange block. If you run into an orange block you stop the square before it & the orange box is pushed further in the direction you were moving.
- Orange blocks – these operate somewhat similarly to boxes in Sokoban (they move in the direction you push & you can only move them until they run into a wall or another orange box), except when they move they can move more than one square at a time. You must start from a position at least a square away from blocks to be able to have enough momentum to push them.
- Blue switches – activate blue switches by moving across them or pushing an orange box across them.
- Orange switches – activate orange switches by placing an orange box on them or having the second robot stand on them.
- Second robot – when you get further into the game some of the later levels have you control 2 robots at the same time. The second robot moves the same direction the first robot does, but both must be able to make valid moves at the same time for the second robot to move. One some stages you’ll need to be in an area with orange walls for the movements of the first robot to pass across to the second robot.
- Gates – these block the level exit or access to a second part of the level. Activating all switches opens the gates.
- Winning vs losing
- You win by exiting through the door.
- You lose by getting stuck and/or moving the boxes in the wrong order or to the wrong positions.
- This game offers unlimited continues starting you at the beginning of the current level.
- Tips
- If you make an error there is no easy way to undo it, so press the R button to restart the level.
- The orange blocks are not only needed to activate switches, but also act as temporary stops which allow you to temporarily reach hard-to-reach areas of each stage.
- Be sure to push them in the correct order to enable you to reach the other blocks and the end of the level.
- In many cases you need to leave one block in place for it to act as a stop for a second block & the only move the first block later.
- Sometimes the exit can only be reached by using a couple orange blocks as stoppers which fill in space.
- Limited options
- When you push a block against a wall you can only move it parallel to that wall. The only time you can move it orthogonally is if there is a gap at one end of the wall.
- Blocks which are pushed into a corner can’t be move.
- Second robot
- You can only activate the second robot by moving in the orange area.
- Your first movement that puts you in the orange area does not move the second robot, but all subsequent moves do, provided both robots have room to move in the same direction.
- Moving the second robot can require significant patience. You have to have room for both robots to move, and you have to use blocks in the correct order.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like Sokoban-inspired logic puzzle games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
