Introduction

It's hard enough keeping your eye on your own pets, but when you need to keep an eye on their pets too, it becomes a little too much to handle at once. These silly little robot petpets have gotten themselves stuck in a recycling centre of all places! Help them get into the bins at the bottom which are sent to the safe haven of the RoboPet Shop.

Controls & Instructions

Controls are simple in this game. You control the beam at which the petpet is on. Pushing the left arrow key tilts the beam to the left and the right arrow key tilts it to the right. No other keys needed! The aim is to get the petpet into the conveyor belt at the bottom of the screen.

Tips & Strategies

While being perhaps the most simple game since Splat-a-Sloth, it's best you get an explanation of what's going on:

When you start the game, you're thrown immediately into the action with possibly no idea what's going on. Take a look from top to bottom before you start the first level to make sure you know what's going on.

The shutters before the game aren't just for meaningless dialogue. It will tell you how many petpets are 'lost' in this level and how many you have to get in the bins to advance. The number of petpets 'lost' is shown at the top of the screen, with 'X/10' or something. For each petpet you save, the number on the left increases by one. For each petpet that drops down from the top, the number in the brackets increases by one. This should give you an idea on how carefully you need to play the level.

The petpets will always fall from the top and will always act in the same way (apart from in the very last level). Regardless of which petpet falls down, they will fall on the edge of one of the ledges. Make sure you are on your toes when they fall (Especially if they fall on a light or wooden ledge).

Each coloured ledge acts differently:

Normal Ledge
This acts normally (Hence it's name). It will slowly begin to tilt to the side the petpet is resting on and pick up speed as it does so. Think of it as a normal see-saw with two equally heavy people on each side.

Light Ledge
This ledge moves in the same way as the Normal ledge, but does so more quickly. As such, this ledge is harder to keep your balance on. Think of this ledge as a normal see-saw with someone slightly heavier on one side.

Metal Ledge
These are slower to react to your input and the petpet will still roll in the direction it was going for about a second longer, so beware! Think of this ledge as a normal see-saw with a giant, heavy ball-bearing sliding along from end to end.

Wooden Ledge
This is perhaps the most annoying ledge of all. Once you land on it, you can't control the direction it tilts. Where you land on it, it will point straight down and roll you off. Although, if you push and hold the key that would usually make it move in the opposite direction before you land on it, it will remain static. This will allow you to time the drop to perfection. Think of this as as a normal see-saw with a Acme-style anvil attached to one side.

Exploding Ledge
The sneaky ledge. These ledges can take the form of any of the four before it, but a blinking light on it shows it up. If you stay on it for too long (About 2-3 seconds) it will explode, firing the petpet up into the air with it! Nine times out of ten this means you've lost the petpet, but if you're lucky and it fired up straight, you might get it land on another ledge or, if you're really fortunate, into a bin! Think of this ledge as a normal see-saw, only with a massive rocket with a lit fuse at the bottom of it.

Remember: The ledges can be of different sizes, too. The smaller they are, the less room for error you have, so the more precise your movements need to be.

Be sure to collect the lovely stars on your ledge-hopping adventures, though. Every little helps, you know! If you roll over a gold star, that's worth 3 points to your overall points total. With a red star, however, you get 10 points to your points total. It could make the difference between a silver and a gold trophy, so don't just ignore them. You've got at least 10 stars so try and get them all on the level, so it's not impossible.

In addition to those lovely little stars, your robot petpets can also fetch themselves a 'Roburg Token' which, depending on its colour, will add to your total petpets saved total. A green Roburg Token adds 1 saved petpet to your total, which counts for that round. A blue Roburg Token, however, adds three to your saved petpet total, but does not count to the total saved for that round. It does, however, add up in the points at the end of the round.

Once you've got the petpet down to the conveyor belt, you need to get it into one of the bins moving along. They might feel slow at first, but at later levels they speed up considerably. Getting a petpet on target into one of these bins requires precision timing, taking into account the speed of the conveyor belt, the type of ledge you're on and the time it takes for the petpet to fall to bin level. Getting a petpet in the bin gives you 5 points, directly (in the middle) gets you 15 points, but missing completely gives you nothing. It's one petpet to one bin, so if you try to fit more than one in, the second one will just fall out and get recycled! Oh no!

The best place for a wooden ledge is right on the bottom. Given the tip above about them, you can simply hold the key down until it's the right time to release it. You've pretty much got a guarenteed point score that way.

Extra Stuff

You're guiding several well known petpet faces to their safety. If you love them so much, you can pick one up at the RoboPet Shop in the Virtupets Space Station. Their names are:

Avabot - Millipod - Roburd RT3 - Rotawheel

Conclusion

Be careful of those evil ledges, and this game is a walk in the park. It's not too difficult to recieve 1000NP from this game. Once you get good at it, you could probably do it in about 4-5 minutes. You've got to be a die-hard Bumble Beams champion to get on the high score table, though. With me struggling to get over the 800 mark, the lowest score needed to get on the high score table is above 2000 near the beginning of the month! Act quick, think fast and save those petpets!
