Odd Bot Out

This review contains spoilers. The levels included with the game are pretty good, but the potential for levels and machines is phenomenal. Ending the game by allowing players to build what they want with this beautifully crafted system just makes sense, so I have to ask, where is the level editor? I could easily imagine a larger community forming around this game if player make and share levels. All of the components to make an endless number of custom challenges, vehicles, machines, and computers are there. So why can’t players make use of those untapped possibilities? The small pile of blocks and stretch of grass at the end is great, but ultimately pitiful compared to the possibilities of an editor that lets the player use more of each block in the colors they want. To reiterate, the levels included are great, but when players can make their own machines, or even computers, the game needs a public level creation tool to make the most of what the game has to offer. Your other game Mekorama features a level editor, but it’s spin and sliding blocks pale in comparison to this game’s wheels and logic gates.

I don’t know how but this game is 5 years old, yet I’ve never seen it or heard of it before. This game was so much fun, and honestly it is one of the most funnest games I’ve ever played, no exaggeration. The graphics and physics are perfect, the character(s) are so cool, and each level makes you think, some are harder than others, but overall, 100 levels of pure fun. This is not a typical puzzle game or escape game, it’s definitely one of a kind and I like that. I’m very impressed with the game and wish there were more levels. But if you are contemplating getting this game, I definitely recommend it. You can play for free if you don’t mind the ads every so often, they weren’t intrusive or anything, but I’d say it’s definitely worth the $3.99 due to the hours of gameplay you get. I played through the night and didn’t put it down. Yes, I completed all 100 levels in one sitting. It took me all night. I couldn’t put it down. So there’s my thoughts on this game. I highly recommend it. 5 stars for sure.
