Gameplay
Robotica has 30 levels, most of them having a maze-like design. Sometimes, a light swich must be found in the level before it is completely visible. Additionally, a computer can be found in each level that will reveal the full map, and each level can only be completed when a key is collected.
There are a number of guns and sub weapons in the game.
Main Weapons
- Arm Punch - Melee attacks an enemy.
- Vulcan - The weakest gun.
- Laser - Stronger then the Vulcan but fires at a slower rate.
- Missile - The strongest weapon, but the ammo is limited.
Sub Weapons
- Blaze Lazer - Terminates all enemys that are currently on screen.
- Hover Jet - Moves forward at a fast speed.
- Power Booster - Increases attack power.

All 3 of the the normal guns can be upgraded, either with an item or using a cheat system.

Reception
At the time of it's release, Robotica was praised for it's music, then impressive visuals, and dark claustrophobic atmosphere, but was criticized for its repetitive nature.
