Robotry!

As a robot with two arms you have to skillfully swing, climb and hop through colorful worlds.

The story mode of “Robotry!” starts in an underground laboratory where small, bean-shaped people are conducting experiments. You take control of a robot with a square body, which has just been repaired and is initially equipped with only one arm. With said arm you have to drag yourself through the first levels—with the goal of reaching the tube at the end, which will transport you to the next section. After a brief introduction to the control scheme, you receive an upgrade in form of a second arm, which significantly increases your freedom of movement.

In the following levels and worlds, you need to make progress through clever arm movements and solve small physics-based puzzles on the way. This requires targeted grabbing, throwing, kicking, climbing and cranking. The controls (one analog stick per arm) are certainly the biggest challenge, but they remain pleasantly frustration-free. We particularly like the good level design, because it regularly forces you to change your tactic: In a later world, for example, you have to push big wobbly frogs into the water instead of just getting to the finish line.

The story mode can be played alone or in local multiplayer mode with up to 4 robots. In addition, it is possible for two players to each control one an arm of the same robot, allowing a total of up to 8 people to be involved. With split control, a lot of chaos quickly ensues, which can be quite funny. Unfortunately, this seriously hinders your progress, so we recommend to play “Robotry!” with 2–4 people instead.

Why you should play it:

• Good physics-based puzzles with varied level design and cute characters.
• Well suited for families, because you don’t need to cooperate extensively and the difficulty level always remains moderate.
• After the initial launch the developers added multiple versus modes which is a great addition.

Please note: The console versions only support a maximum of 4 controllers, so you need to share them if you want to play with up to 8 people.
