You control Tetrobot, a small robot and the creation of indie developers Alexey and Markus, who are in trouble. Tetrobot must make its way through a world of blocks using platforming and puzzle-solving.
Drill blocks one by one and collect their material, then recycle it into new pieces of four. Different materials behave differently, and you can also destroy lines of eight or more blocks, so solving a route means choosing how to use the matter around you.
Adventure Mode includes 40 levels, with 20 bonus levels to unlock. Collectible blocks pay tribute to games made of blocks, and a level editor lets you create and share puzzles.
Players who praise the game highlight its block-based puzzle mechanics and distinctive level designs, enjoying how it turns a familiar blocks premise into carefully tailored platforming challenges. Some also appreciate its tributes to earlier games. Reviews differ on the fairness of some levels, and one reviewer criticizes the jumping and lack of an undo option.
