\"\"<\/a>Grobo is a little robot who awakens in futuristic city ruins and now must find out what happened to everyone.\u00a0 Luckily Grobo has the power to shift gravity so you must help him use this skill to solve mind bending 2-D puzzles to help him reach a computer monitor in the stage.\u00a0 Grobo is available to download on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

Each level is a single screen room with platforms and obstacles.\u00a0 To change gravity, just flick on the screen in the direction you want Grobo to fall to, and he\u2019ll land there.\u00a0 If you want to simply walk around, just hold down on the touch screen and move left or right (or up and down depending on the gravity).\u00a0 And that\u2019s all there is to it.\u00a0 Controls are simple to use, although sometimes I would change gravity when I just wanted to walk, and vice versa.\u00a0 So you have to be careful.<\/p>\n

Your goal on each screen is to reach a computer monitor.\u00a0 Most of the time that involves walking on ceilings and walls to reach your destination.\u00a0 But you must avoid pitfalls and spikes that get in the way, too.\u00a0 Other objects like boxes can be affected by gravity as well. \u00a0You can use these boxes as stepping stones, but just make sure not to switch gravity at the wrong time and have them squish you!\u00a0 In some levels are little holograms you can pick up that can give you a bit of history on Grobo and the lost civilization he\u2019s trying to find, but usually those holograms are harder to get to than the main exit monitor.\u00a0 Just an extra bonus for those who want more challenge, I guess.\u00a0 To me, the story wasn\u2019t that important.<\/p>\n

Aside from the controls, the only other small problem I had with the game was that I wish there was a hint system for the tougher levels, so I wouldn\u2019t get stuck.\u00a0 Otherwise, this is a cute little puzzle game with neat artwork and best of all, no free-to-play gimmicks.\u00a0 The game only costs a few bucks and it\u2019s pretty good for what you get.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your robot can get squished by blocks and fall off into oblivion, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 This game could be considered educational as it promotes logic and thinking skills like planning ahead.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, and younger gamers may find the later levels too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
