New hotness on iOS & Android: Revenge of the Rob-o-Bot

[Daniel Osborne]

Thanks for sharing. That looks great! Can't wait for the Android version. ;-)

Haha great stuff, that cracked me up! We think it is awesome! We would like to ask for your permission to post it on our Facebook page. Let me know if that's ok or not.

Sure! go crazy with the cheese whizz

That sucks :/ I'm so sorry. Would you be interested in trying out test builds? Via Testflight, that is. Hopefully we can nail this bug pretty quickly.

Testflight meeeeeee pleaaaaseee!

I noticed a bug. Although I am not sure if it is a bug or done intentional.

The upper flipper does not stay 'up' and stay up in position like that when you hold you left finger on the screen, the main flippers will stay up in position, so that you can hold the ball there and plan a precise shot. But the upper flipper just 'flip' quick and that's it. I hope I explain well this in my crappy english.. Is it a bug or should it be like this? This isn't the case on real tables, and on the TPA tables.

Don't know what you guys think, but the physics is way better than TPA.
The table might not be as complex as TZ, but as a developer I suspect Far Sight is not spending much on optimization. Is it the ROM emulation that takes performances? Well if you ask me the whole idea of emulating the Rom, especially if its expensive, is not that smart

Very nicely done!

I'm pretty sure this is intentional.

night, it's intentional. I find it hard to use, as my timing is always off. The worst is when you miss flipping and it drains down the right side. I think I just need to put more time into the table.

Android is slated for release mid December.

Yeeeeesss! - I'll promise you a purchase Anders. Looks great.

The theme, look, sounds and physics look awesome. Can't wait for the Android release as my iPod touch has had it. A PC version would be awesome with cab mode of course . I can see this going far.

I have a special jar dedicated for pinball

Well you just gave me a great idea. Don't have any ios devices, but it looks fun.

It's intentional and exists on real tables (not very common though). Initially it stayed up, but it was too easy to hit stuff.

We have a planned Feature Pack 1 which we will start on as soon as Android version is done. It will make the table a bit more complex, but mostly just to make sure there are more things to do besides the missions. Mind you this is our first pinball game and Robobot is sort of a sandbox so we're trying different things. But I guess we got the physics right atleast

its a bastard of a game and i love it

every self respecting tpa player on ios(and soon android) should buy this table, its nice people can still come outta nowhereish and still do a triple a pinball title.

i almost comeleted all missions on 1 ball then drained the next 3

Damn I'm looking forward to the Android version! Hope it plays better on my phone than TPA does, ie. being actually playable.

It only exists on real tables with broken flippers. Flippers have two coils for motion: a high-powered coil (which makes the initial flip) and a low-powered coil (which holds a raised flipper in place). The high-powered coil activates only briefly when you press the flipper button; the low-power coil stays activated as long as you hold the flipper button. A poorly maintained table with a broken low-powered coil exhibits the same behaviour as the upper flipper in Rob-O-Bot. It's not an intentional feature of any real table that I know of.

A few posts before I gave a suggestion for an extra addition to Rob-o-Bot: a short DMD game. This youtube was posted in another forum section, start watching from 3:00 to 3:15 and this shows how cool a quick DMD-game could be!

Wow, had a really great game and I am now 12th place on the leaderboards!
Anyone here managed to defeat the robot twice?

Love the table! Great design and graphics.

One question though: Is it intentional that the ball is spinning all the time?
If you trap it, or even before launching it you can see it slightly "rumbling" around
and spinning constantly, at least on my game (iPad 3).

Yes, you are correct. iPad2.
