How to Play

Elementary entomology. Black daddy long leg spider.

• The aim in each level of the game is to solve a series of tasks using the special skills of one or more robots.
• Each robot is introduced with a three-level tutorial where the special skills are demonstrated. After this, you can switch over to play as different robots either by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the screen or by clicking the robots in the game window.
• Move the mouse cursor and left click on useful objects to perform actions. The default cursor is the green arrow, which is used to move characters around and also to switch between characters. The cursor will change to a magnifying glass icon over objects that can be examined, and a character icon over objects where a special skill can be used.
• The hint button becomes active one minute after it has been used. Pressing the button gives a basic hint about what should be done next.
• The menu button displays buttons to save, load and quit. There are sound options to adjust the volume levels of robot voice, human voice and music, and there is also an option to display subtitles. The extras button shows how many of the 8 bonus items have been unlocked. These bonus items can be selected to display concept art from the game. Finally, there is a bloopers button that can be selected after all 8 bonus items have been found.
