About Bot Patrol

Prepare to dive headfirst into the quirky world of "Bot Patrol," where the daily grind takes on a whole new meaning!
In this bustling asteroid station, life for bots is all about routine — wake up, punch in, push stuff around, and recharge. But one day, you notice something odd. There's a crack in the routine, something is off in all this monotony. And where did all those missing colleague bots vanish off to?

Embark on a truly riddled adventure through mind-bending puzzles spread across three different biomes. Get ready for a roller coaster ride of old-school boulder dash mechanics with a large amount of extra spice. Maneuver through conveyor belt chaos, outsmart spinning guard bots with personalities bigger than their circuits, and dodge off laser barriers like a pro!

But beware! Every misstep could lead to disaster, from triggering contraptions gone haywire to pushing cargo drums just a tad too far. It's a race against mechanical mayhem as you uncover the secrets lurking in the station's walls. Who knew saving the day could be this much fun? There might even be freedom waiting at the end of the journey!

So grab your thinking cap and gear up for a quirky quest unlike any other. "Bot Patrol" is waiting for you to join the ranks of robot revolutionaries in the fight for freedom!
In traditional Sokoban fashion the player has to push all scattered cargo containers onto the right target spots to complete a level. Challenge comes from only being able to push, but not pull the barrels. This means every step has to be thought through to not end up in a scenario, where access to a container or its target is blocked.

Beyond the regular gameplay mechanics, Bot Patrol features an abundance of extended elements, that make achieving the goal a lot trickier. Conveyor belts, cranes, energy barriers and button triggers are added into the mix. Not to forget the evil control bots, that will perish the player upon contact.

And since playing the game is supposed to be a hard but fun puzzle challenge and not rage inducting repetition machine, Bot Patrol comes with a gracious infinite Undo, to take that one step back, that went to far.
Or the one before. Or the one before that...

Bot Patrol has been developed by solo developer a.mighty.dish over the course of 3 years - as a hobby project next to a day job in AAA game development.
It really started as a last big hobby project to finish before the birth of our first offspring. Natures deadlines are quite definite, so when the game was not really finished in time, development came to a halt between milk bottles and baby steps.
Hot fast forward to two years later - with some small sabbatical time at hand - it seemed too much fun of a game to let it wither someone in the abandoned projects folder of ones hard drive and so Bot Patrol eventually saw the light of day!

Very nice game. Set the mind thinking. Was stuck at level 13 initially. Didn't realize that those moving bots can be destroyed. Cleared that level by chance. Lucky me. The rest of the levels are equally interesting and challenging too. Strongly recommended! Cheers.

I recently finished playing this delightful little puzzle game, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience! The story was small but really cute, with a few surprisingly depressing moments that added depth. It didn't take up too much of my time, which was perfect for my busy schedule. The levels were challenging enough to make me think, but not so hard that they became frustrating. Overall, it was a great way to spend a few hours, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a short but satisfying game.

Fun puzzle game in which you play a cute little robot pushing canisters into place to progress through the world. Challenging at times, but it has good introduction levels for new mechanics so I never got stuck. If you like puzzle games, give it a go!

If you're into puzzle games, this is the one for you. I love the indie hand-drawn style. The music, graphics and story are well thought through. This game is worth a try!

I love puzzle & indie games and this really hit the spot. The graphics, animations everything about this cute dare I say a bit whimsical puzzle game was enjoyable. I sat down for the evening to stream my play through which took just over 3 hours and had some laughs along the way along with some frustrations in some later levels where I just couldn't grasp the timing that I needed. At one point it looked as if we were going to make it only to have to back track and ultimately got zapped in the process.
