Pros and cons of Rocket Robo app for iPhone and iPad
Rocket Robo app good for
Great game to spend a little time with and do some puzzles. Cute characters and some levels are quite challenging. There needs to be an option to reduce the music volume or turn it off altogether. Also, the screen doesnt orient to current iPad position ie. the screen wont rotate if you flip your iPad which is a bit annoying. Thanks!
Nice artwork, sound and atmosphere. Game mechanics could have been tweaked a little. In particular, controlling the screen depth of your robo is a little unreliable (not really a problem til level 24!!)
Level design is hit or miss. Runs the gamut from suspiciously simple to frustrating. Collecting all the stars means exploring each level fully as some are basically just hidden. Some levels also force you to restart because you cannot backtrack if you missed one.
All in all this seems like a gameplay mechanic proof of concept. There is no story or personality to pull you in. Definitely could be fleshed out more.
A good honest effort though. Hope to see the designers next work soon!
Super cute and beautiful. The stages look so nice! Its like having Little Big Planet in my iPhone :) It would be great if it had some GameCenter support as well.
Some bad moments
Really loving this game so far! Only needs gamecenter and the third world added. Then it would be a near perfect game!
Runs very well on an iPod 4th gen.
This game has a LittleBigPlanet meets Jetpack Joyride. It is extremely fun and has lots of unique gameplay, I would recommend it for anyone. As a game developer at Red Tentacle Studios I really appreciate the hard work and the love that went into making this game.
This is an awesome game. Like the previous reviewer said, add Game Center Achievements and the next world. There are no in app purchases and 99 cents is a steal!
Good game, but no way to turn off music or sound effects within the game....
I support any studio that doesnt use the IAP crap. Gladly gave them a dollar for this unique fun game. Guys, lets support developer like this.
This game is tremendously boring. It might be good for young children.
