Roboroll is a top-down puzzle game in which you navigate a robot through a grid of rotatable passages to an exit panel.
The levels are well designed, introducing progressive complexity in the form of enemy robots, door-operating buttons, and teleportation portals. It's not necessary to find the perfectly efficient solution, since no matter how you pass the level you get the same green checkmark and access to the next level. This lack of recognition for perfectionists makes for relaxed gameplay that is found in many of the best level-based puzzle games, a nice change of pace for those stressed by marks of less than 100%.
Pros
- Full-screen capability with trackpad pan and zoom mark a successful desktop port
- Well designed puzzles
- Moving around on the channels created by rotation creates a more interesting dynamic than in PipeRoll, the developer's sister app
Cons
- Little replayability
- No sense of progression on level select screen
I can call this game simple and logical, but sometimes it can be rather tricky. So your brain should be ready for challenge.
