When his friend is captured by that familiar pipe, the robot ventures down into the mysterious underground world to try to rescue him. Speaking of that Extended chapter, how does it fit in? Well, it's an independent story that sees a slightly bigger robot and his friend on a trip through a very similar looking countryside. Even with the game's additional Extended chapter, you will finish the whole thing (including the trophies, of which there will be more later) in five hours. Unfortunately, this may be because the game is a very short experience. While the premise of the puzzles may not seem completely fresh to anybody who has played a similar game before, the puzzles also never feel repetitive or over-used either. Most people are unlikely to need the hint system. You're given as much time as you need to solve each puzzle and it is impossible for the little robot to die. The solution is always completely logical, things are never over-complicated and rarely are there red herrings to throw you off. The game is perfectly balanced so that players are never left completely stumped. Some puzzles may be contained to a single room, while others involve two or three locations to be brought together for the solution. The puzzles range from simply pulling a lever or putting an object on a pressure pad, to the more complicated arranging of lasers or sequence memorisation. The physics system works exactly as it should - heavy objects actually feel like an effort to lift with the tractor beam - so you will never be cheated out of a solution by the game working against you. Meanwhile, the robot's tractor beam, which is used to pick up and move the objects needed to solve the puzzles, can be controlled by every other button with the exception of, which is used to provide hints. The helicopter rotor blades that allow the robot to fly are controlled with either joystick. It's a good job, then, that the game doesn't suffer for this lack of story - focus is placed squarely on the puzzles that you need to solve to escape. By the time that you've finished your adventure, you will be left with more questions than answers. If you were looking for a game with a comprehensive story then you've come to the wrong place. All that you need to know is that you must escape this strange world of maze-like, mechanised, underground chambers. What is this strange world? Why are you here? Well that is part of the mystery. After tumbling downwards through a network of pipes, the robot finds himself in an underground cavern. The game begins as our protagonist robot is flying through the countryside with his friends when he is pulled down into a pipe that has mysteriously emerged from the ground.
