wich episode did you played first? well, even though i suggested episode III, because it is simply the best and most beautiful, you probably should start with robot junior.
so here is a quickstart tutorial:
1. start GameOfRobot.exe .
2. klick on the big button "
Robot Junior"
. you get the startscreen:
3. Press Enter or klick right Mousebutton. you will get the Startmenue:
F1 == HELP
F2 == Background Story
F3 == new game
F7 == Load savegame
F9 == quit game
@M == turn music on / off
@return == fullscreen on / off
4. Select "
Spielstart"
/ F4 to start a new game
now you are promted to enter your nick name:
enter your name or nick and press enter. now press enter again to close the box that shows the name of the room.
5. welcome to the first room. here you find some very basic push - puzzles ala sokoban.
go get all the gold (move your avatar with the cursor keys)
cleveryl push the grey blocks to get the clock symbol (allows saving) and try to get a acid bottle and the "
!"
the "
!"
gives you information on every object.
^^image: just collected the acid bottle. the text says:
"
in this small bottle there is an aggressive fluid, that can corride walls. but only some sort of walls"
.
if you have collected an item, you can access it via your backpack. to open your backpack, press ENTER:
^^image: the backpack, opened with enter. navigate with cursor keys, select an item, and then choose "
benutzen"
(use item) or "
ablegen"
(to deposit).
here, i just used the acid bottle on a wall:
6. head south and go to the "
Raum der ersten Prüfung"
(room of the first exam)
find your way through the arrow labyrinth and collect gold and especially the key. (press ALT + "
T"
to show keys in black with numbers - its easier to see then)
7. well - now go on and try to explore and conquer all rooms ! good luck !
Some more notes: GameOfRobot has some action elements. there are monsters that will hunt you. normally, you can escape them, because you are faster. but if the game is "
too much action"
or runs simply to fast , try pressing
ALT + "
2"
or any number from 1 to 5 to adjust speed of your avatar and of the monsters. this is especially helpful in situations, where you wait for monsters to die, while you are in a save spot. press ALT+"
9"
for maximum speed. monsters usually die, if they are in a tight spot or run into electric fences or pricky shrubs.
