LogicBots Windows game

Design, build and wire up your own unique robot to complete challenging logic puzzles.

How does the game work?

Each level consists of three distinct modes; Construction Mode, Wiring Mode and Live Mode. First comes Construction Mode, in this mode you have to build your robot from scratch by selecting and connecting together modular parts. The first part you place is always a Main Body part which is the housing of you circuit board and contains useful parts such as motors for driving your robots wheels. You then join together all the other parts your robot needs to complete the task such as wheels, sensors, hinges, pistons, etc.

Once you have built the physical part of your robot you switch to Wiring Mode. In this mode you give your robot its brains by wiring together the inputs and outputs of your robots main body. There are a selection of logic, comparison, maths and functional gates which you can wire together to process the inputs giving your robot its behaviour. This may be, for instance, turning left when Sensor 1 detects an object within 30cm, or firing a projectile when a laser sensor is tripped.

Once you have constructed and wired your robot you hit the start button and go to Live Mode. Depending on the level, in this mode your robot either has to complete the puzzle on its own and all you can do is watch, or you will have to control your LogicBot to complete the objective. The puzzles include getting your robot to follow a line to the finish, navigating a maze, retrieving objects, catching other robots, manoeuvring over physical objects and much more. If your LogicBot fails the puzzle, or you think it will, recall your robot, make changes, and then send it on its way again.

Levels

There are five areas within the game ranging from easy to difficult, each consisting of eight levels. There are also optional tutorial levels at the start of the game. Each level has a main objective to complete, a time goal, a cost goal and a bonus objective. Completing objectives unlocks further levels to complete.

Music

The soundtrack for the game is made by Brandon Penney aka Neon-Bard you can check out his music on Soundcloud. His musical style can be described as a unique blend between electronic and classical genres with a heavy influence drawn from video games.
