Robox is a space probe sent to a mysterious planet to investigate the disappearance of other probes.[1]

Obstacles that can be traversed once they discover a certain item or ability, such as an arm that breaks blocks.[2] Each time the player acquires a new power, it must be unlocked by solving a puzzle within Robox's body.[3] There are a total of three different planets in the game.[4]

Robox received mediocre reviews, sitting at 50/100 on Metacritic.[5] Nintendo Life gave the game 5/10 and said "Robox is a game with some good ideas that unfortunately aren't capitalised on nearly enough", concluding that players expecting a straightforward game "will wander aimlessly, bemoaning the lack of a map and swearing intermittently." It also disliked the trial-and-error gameplay, writing that the "constant repetition of quite lengthy bits of gameplay can frustrate after awhile."[6] Nintendo-x2 gave the game 5.6/10, declaring that it "fails to provide much in the way of entertainment for anyone other than the most patient of gamer" and finding that it was highly repetitive, though it did reserve praise for the game's visuals.[7] Eurogamer gave the game 4/10, describing it as "slow, clunky and tedious" and declaring that it had "dreadful shooting mechanics".[8]
