Subject: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update March 16,
2013
Hi Folks,
Here is more info about Robo-E by MPaja software.
I hope it will answer some questions about the game.
Robo-E is in charge of cleaning up the galaxy from toxic waste. But he
needs your help as his positronic brain is confused after a nearby
supernova went off.
You must guide Robo-E in pushing all the red waste balls on top of the
yellow energy rings to activate their transfer to hyperspace.
Robo-E brings you the classic game of Sokoban with beautiful graphics and
and intuitive UI. Includes hundreds of built in levels.
Sokoban originally was a Japanese puzzle that involved moving boxes around
a room. Without planning several moves in advance you could easily box
yourself in. Robo-E is a spin on this classic puzzle with a Sci-Fi theme.
You play on a grid with walls, Robo-E, your character, balls and energy
rings. You can have more than one ball at a time. you push the balls in
the empty spaces and finally into the energy rings.
Robo-E is playable with Voice Over, so for the ultimate challenge activate
Voice Over from the device settings and play blindfolded, trusting only
your touch and ears.
There is a review screen feature. By running your finger over the
screen the type of cell is announced and what is in it.
For the first three levels a hint is given as to what you can do.
As you go up in levels sometimes the grid gets larger and there are more
balls. At level 1 the grid is 5 by 5 with 1 ball. At level 12 the grid is
9 by 10 with 4 balls. At level 13 the grid is 6 by 6 with 5 balls.
The three finger swipe to move only works if the user
has VoiceOver on.
On the very first level you are above the ball in the starting position.
The energy ring is below the ball.
If you run your finger from top to bottom, you would hear,
wall, empty, Robo-E, ball, energy ring, empty, wall.
So you just need to swipe down to push the ball into the ring.
Once a ball is in an energy ring, you can't move over it. Often you in
fact need to push a ball away from an energy ring
temporarily in order to get access to another ball. Or sometimes a ball
sits on an energy ring already at the beginning of a level, but must be
moved away, temporarily, to end up on another energy ring. Only in the
end all the energy rings need to be occupied to complete the level.
Both you and the ball are blocked by the walls, so once a ball is against
a wall it can not be moved off it, but can be moved along it. If a ball
and energy ring are on the same wall, only that ball can go in that energy
ring, even if there is another ball closer to the ring.
If you move a ball to the corner, there is no way to get it out from
there, except by undoing the move.
Even though the rules are simple, the locations of the walls, balls and
rings make the game almost as complicated as chess.
This type of puzzle is very challenging, and your success like in a chess
game, will depend on how many moves ahead you can store in your mind.
version 1.4 added new sounds and support for Game Center.
And Translations to Finnish, French, Italian, Portuguese.
There is now a different sound for moving one square, going over multiple
squares, pushing the ball, pushing the ball over ring, trying to push a
ball that cannot move, and bumping into walls.
Game Center support is also there for high-score tracking.
There is no free version and the price is $1.99 US.
