About
"Robot Wants It All" is a compilation of the classic "mini-metroidvania" games where you play as a robot collecting fast-paced powerups to reach its desired items, including kitty, puppy, fishy, ice cream, and more. The game includes 10 unique levels across 5 games, along with 12 mutators to transform the way the game plays. The goal is to complete each level as quickly as possible, making it perfect for speedruns.











- The game is a nostalgic collection of beloved flash games, enhanced with new features, levels, and gameplay mechanics that appeal to both old fans and newcomers.
- It offers a variety of gameplay modes, including easy and remix versions, as well as a shop system that rewards exploration and skill, making it engaging for completionists and achievement hunters.
- The addition of new characters, mutators, and mini-games adds significant replayability and fun, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of metroidvania-style games.
- The in-game currency system forces players to grind through simplified versions of the original games to unlock the classic versions, which many find tedious and frustrating.
- Some new levels, particularly 'Robot Wants Justice', are criticized for poor design and difficulty spikes that detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- The shop system and progression mechanics are seen as poorly implemented, leading to a lack of immediate access to the original games and a feeling of unnecessary padding in gameplay.

“The different available versions of the games are all pretty good and complement each other: 'easy' introduces you to the concepts, 'classic' provides faithful yet improved recreations of the flash games, and 'remix' will kick your butt and introduce new mechanics.”
“Robot Wants It All collects these original flash outings and recreates them in a functioning, non-flash game engine, new and improved with extra 'easy' and challenging 'remix' modes, with a whole host of fun and interesting new features including mutators and robot models that provide gameplay changes.”
“But gameplay-wise it's not worth it.”
“Each one has vastly different gameplay mechanics from the others, but they all begin with you starting with almost nothing, sometimes including no jumping power.”
