Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who prefer conventional platforming controls may find the separate leg inputs demanding.

- Players looking for online multiplayer may not find a fit in the local co-op and multiplayer modes described.
Our take on Robotry!
The leg-by-leg control makes movement the central challenge, but it also commits the game to a gamepad and a more involved way of navigating than standard platforming controls.
What is Robotry!?
Robotry!
is a physics-based platformer controlled with a gamepad: each analog stick moves one robot leg while the body balances on its own. Taking alternating steps, pushing against the ground, and manipulating objects let players move, jump, climb, grab, throw, kick, and crank. The campaign follows orange astronauts across different planets and can be played solo or in local co-op. Co-op supports multiple robots or lets players control separate legs of one robot. After the campaign, multiplayer minigames include Volleyball, Bounce The Pengu, Waypoint Chase, and Gem Hunt, with up to 4 players. Players can also customize robots, collect secrets, and explore the spaceship hub.
