I, Robot

When the overlords got you down, it's time to rise up! I, Robot is an act of open rebellion from the original indie developer, Jeff Minter. Help an unhappy robot resist authority and avoid the all-seeing eye in this reimagined version of an eclectic, 80s arcade game. Featuring Minter's signature assault of colors, shapes and sounds, I, Robot is built from the ground up with new challenges, new twists, and a whole lot of llamas.

The premise of I, Robot is simple: you take control of an ox-headed robot that's had enough and is on a mission to resist authority and outwit the all-seeing eye. In each level, navigate across tiles, flipping each one to proceed to the next. Don't jump while the eye's watching, or you'll be zapped away. Race down a tube blasting enemy shapes in between levels, and challenge your skills in arena levels full of lethal enemies. All this inside the 3D space of Minter's kaleidoscopic visualizer. Need a break from the arcade action? Jump into the ungame, where you can channel your inner Jeff Minter and play around with all the sights and sounds from the game.

  • 55 platforming and arena levels
  • Unique tube-shooter bonus stages between each level
  • Llamasoft's unique brand of mind-melting visuals
  • Procedural music that builds as you excel
  • Online leaderboards
