About the game

Tetrobot is the world's most popular and reliable robot, but he's not perfect. That's why I, Maya, have built him a microscopic little brother, Psychobot.Help me guide Psy through Tetrobot's cogs and circuits: by swallowing blocks of matter and spitting them out, we can repair anything.

That was quite a tricky puzzler to play! With just a click of the mouse, we control Psychobot, a tiny robot capable of navigating the insides of malfunctioning Tetrobots in order to repair them.
