Astro Bot

Astro Bot is a platforming game built around controlling a small robotic character through a series of 3D environments. The main objective is to navigate each stage while rescuing lost bots scattered throughout the level. Movement includes jumping, hovering, punching, and using context-sensitive tools provided by the environment. The camera stays in a fixed position as the character moves through depth-based stages, combining classic platforming with spatial awareness.

Interactive Elements and Tools

Each level includes objects that react to the player’s actions, requiring timing and observation. Some stages include temporary platforms, moving hazards, or switches that open new paths. The player also uses gadgets like grappling hooks or water cannons, depending on the level. These tools are activated through interactions with the controller, introducing mechanics that tie the gameplay to physical input. Finding all hidden bots often requires revisiting stages and using tools in non-obvious ways.

Progression and Design Approach

Levels are grouped by theme and escalate in complexity. While early stages are more focused on movement and exploration, later levels introduce tighter timing and enemy encounters. Boss fights appear at the end of each world and require using both the environment and specific mechanics to win. The visual design emphasizes clarity, guiding players through layered spaces with collectible-based rewards. The structure supports replay for full completion by encouraging players to locate all hidden bots and secrets.
