Robot Multitool

Robot Multitool is a puzzle adventure about a multifunctional robot. You use its abilities to interact with the environment, solve puzzles and skill tasks, and fight robots. Its mechanics become available gradually as you progress.

Story

A drone attaches a missing part to the robot and brings it back to life. The damaged robot is leaking energy, so you must find a part for its flying arm and reach the component that will stop the leak as soon as possible.

As you explore, you find electronic notes from an unknown robot. The notes provide information about the area and hints, and the robot asks for help reaching the place where it is being held so you can free it. You must solve puzzles, complete skill tasks and face battles along the way. Some robots can be dodged, while others must be fought.

Robot abilities

The robot can launch its right hand as a flying arm and switch between controlling the arm and the robot. The arm has an energy meter and can fly until its energy runs out; when it falls and touches a surface, its energy is fully restored. You can use it to reach distant levers and buttons, including through small openings, while the robot stays elsewhere. You can return the hand to the robot when a task requires both hands, such as opening a large door or activating a large lever.

The robot's other hand can fire a cable that attaches to certain flying objects. While hanging from it, you can swing and move up or down by shortening or lengthening the cable. You can also control the flying arm while on the cable, combining the abilities to operate objects and reach their controls.

Combat and electric charge

The robot has a weapon for fighting some of the robots it encounters. Each shot has a delay before the next one. You can switch the arm's aiming mode between launching the flying hand and firing the weapon.

After you pick up a particular part, the right hand gains an electric-charge mode. While aiming, you can switch between launching the hand and charging a shot by holding the firing key; releasing it fires a charge with power matching the energy meter. Some objects move in response to the amount of energy they receive, so they require a charge of a specific strength. The charge can only be fired when the robot has its right hand, and it can also be used while hanging from the cable.
