Overview
Robotry! is a unique 2D physics-based platformer that challenges players to master intentionally awkward controls. Forget the jump button; here, you directly manipulate each leg of a baby robot using analog sticks on a gamepad. This unconventional approach forms the core of the gameplay, requiring players to learn how to walk, climb, and even parkour by carefully coordinating their robot's limbs. The game features a story mode where you guide your glitching toddler through various stages of robotic agility, transforming from a clumsy infant into a surprisingly acrobatic performer. For those seeking shared mayhem, Robotry! also offers local co-op, allowing friends to control a single, multi-legged robot together, amplifying the chaotic fun.
