Robozzle Reboot brings back the classic robot-programming puzzle game to iOS — write tiny programs to guide a robot around a grid, collect every star, and reach the end. No syntax to memorize: every puzzle is solved by dragging instructions into place. HOW IT WORKS Program your robot with a small set of building blocks: move forward, turn left, turn right, paint a tile, and call one of five subroutines (F1–F5). Any instruction can be conditioned on the color of the tile the robot is standing on, so a handful of slots can express surprisingly deep logic. Run your program step-by-step or at full speed, and iterate until every star is collected. CAMPAIGN + COMMUNITY PUZZLES Work through a curated Campaign of puzzles from Robozzle's original creators, sorted by difficulty from your first steps to genuine head-scratchers. Or dive into Community Puzzles — the full catalog, searchable and sortable, with ratings from other players. BUILD YOUR OWN Design and publish your own puzzles with the built-in puzzle editor. Lay out the grid, place stars and colored tiles, test your solution, then share it with the community. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Sign in with Apple to claim a pseudonym, appear on the global Leaderboard, and rate the puzzles you play. Earn points for every puzzle you solve, and pick up right where you left off — your progress is saved automatically. NEW TO ROBOZZLE? Start with the in-app Tutorials, a short series of levels that introduce each instruction one at a time. Robozzle is an original game by Igor Ostrovsky and other contributors (robozzle.com). Robozzle Reboot is a fresh implementation, built with the original author's agreement.
