An independent adventure game with a large dose of humour. We take control of a group of five small robots and try to use their unique skills to solve the mystery of a mysterious metal container buried near Dr. Hugo.

Puzzle Bots is an independent adventure game in which we lead a team of five miniature robots created in Dr. Hugo's factory. Each of them was invented by a different employee of the company and therefore has unique skills. Ultrabot, for example, is able to move objects that are many times larger than each other thanks to its track drive. Hero, on the other hand, is a donkey capable of lifting and throwing objects.

In order to solve a number of puzzles, on each of the seventeen levels available in the game it is necessary to skillfully apply the skills of individual members of the team. The action is presented from the point of view of small robots, several centimeters high, which means that seemingly small objects grow to the rank of a significant obstacle. In the game there is a system of hints. In case of encountering a riddle that is too difficult, the player can use a subtle clue that will guide him/her to the right solution.

A large dose of humour plays an important role in enjoying the fun. It results mainly from two factors: the above mentioned depiction of the world from the perspective of miniature robots and their misunderstanding of human behaviour. For example, when one of the protagonists sees a couple kissing, he says insecurely: "maybe they are fighting a battle with each other?

We observe the game from the side, as it is the case in all classic adventure games. Smile on the face is also caused by funny, drawing graphics. With the discovery of hidden objects, the player gains access to additional conceptual sketches. In addition to the voices of human figures, Puzzle Bots also features the characteristic showdowns of the main mechanical heroes, reminiscent of the sounds produced by the R2-D2 Star Wars robot.
