Girls Like Robots Reviews

This is the kind of game that shines when different mechanics are allowed to interact with each other and let interesting behaviors emerge. Girls Like Robots tries its best not to do that. It introduces a mechanic, uses it for 4 to 6 puzzles, and then throws it away. Every chapter feels gimmicky and the whole game feels like whoever designed the puzzles had a bunch of ideas without any unitary vision. At first it's pretty normal: generate as much happiness as possible, and it's about how the different characters interact with each other. Fair enough. Then you can only put people next to each other, and are limited to who you can place on the board. More annoying than interesting or challenging, but sure. Then there's a guy moving around the board with no apparent logic, and the game becomes just waiting for him to be in a certain spot and lock him there. Then you have to direct fireflies towards big insects, making them bounce on people. That's already not a puzzle anymore, and the core of the gameplay is gone for a while. And it just keeps going like that, mixing puzzle, and time based actions, and reflexes, but never ever making two gimmicks exist at the same time. It gets dull pretty quickly.

There are some very challenging puzzles wich can drive you too maddness. But if you manage to solve them it is very rewarding. The art is nice and I love how everything fits the theme. The name of the university, the dance the characters want to go to. All fits nice with how they are drawn. I never imanaged that a simple basic square can display so many emotions. Well done.

This game is pretty hilarious! The puzzles start off simple but get more difficult as you progress through the levels. The real charm, though, comes from the quirky and unrealistic logic behind it all. The "plot" is absurdly funny — like, girls like robots, nerds like edges, and apparently, girls are okay with nerds only if there’s an adjacent pie. It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, but that’s part of the fun! Honestly, it turns the old saying “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” on its head, and suddenly, it’s all about sitting next to a girl through the magic of pie. Some ‘wtf logic’ moments will have you laughing out loud. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, offbeat puzzle game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this one is sure to give you a good time!

If the words "Logic puzzles with a silly sense of humour" scratch your fancy, this is what you're after. It's all based on arranging various pieces that react differently to their adjacent pieces. Which sounds simple, and it mostly is, but the developper showed a lot of wit and creativity in the game's design, and it's very well refined. Only problem is that it's a bit short, but the ride is plenty enjoyable and, I think, well worth the price.

if you felt that the puzzle game that you were currently playing was lacking humour, then try this one as well! Easy to learn, hard to get the perfect scores on each level, but nonetheless will give you a laugh with its randomness (for example putting fires out with cows). Highly recommend it!

Very fun, little, casual puzzle game. The art style is playful and vibrant with a wonderful attention to detail, especially in the backgrounds. The animations were smooth and fun to watch, as a feature the game also allows the player to skip the cutscenes or even watch the cutscenes again in the level viewer. The story was surprisingly well done as well. Normally, I would not expect a story in a puzzle game like this, however there was a story, and it was quite easy to follow. Though the adventures were wacky and didn't make any logical sense, it fit the overall tone of the game perfectly. I must also applaud the creators of the game for adding little references from other media and of course geek culture. The soundtrack of this game was great, however it got very repetitive as the game progressed, for my ears got tired of hearing the same banjo tune strummed over and over again. The best way to remedy this problems is to take a break once in a while to let your ears rest. However this little problem did not and will not dull the rest of the gaming experience in anyway. The game was easy to pickup and play, however don't get me wrong, some of the puzzles will take a little bit of thinking to figure it out, especially if you are a completionist. Bonus content allows for some replayability which adds to the value of the game itself and in no ways detracts from the main game itself. The system of unlocking bonus content is well done, as even an intermediate skilled player will be able to "buy" the content (The main game will provide more than enough "happy" points to unlock them). The achievements brings nothing new to the table, but it fairly awards those who are willing to spend some time in the game. Overall this is a solid game with little to no faults to describe. It is a must own for people who like puzzle games, and for people who don't, this is a good game to pick up, because of its ease of play. The game's content to value ratio is good, however don't expect to sink hundreds of hours into this game. 9/10

Yeah it's good. Not great. But a good way to spend a few hours. The characters are kinda cute, and they add more of them plus more mechanics to keep things interesting. Although those mechanics are kind of hit and miss for me. Since some change the pace a bit but some just make it a bit of an annoyance (timed ones especially) also found The Finale to be a bit tough. Generally the puzzles aren't super hard but a few can leave you scratching your head. Music is nice, although a few more songs would be nice, since it kinda loops the same ones. But I really like the overall sounds. I liked the little cut-scenes and story. Not everyone seems to , but I felt they added to the game a bit. So if it's on sale? Yeah give it a few hours.

This game is pretty hilarious. The puzzles get more difficult as you get further into the levels, but the hilarity of the 'plot' and the reasoning.... Girls like robots, nerds like edges, girls are only okay with nerds if there is an adjacent pie.... Just a quirky unrealistic logic game, but hey, who knows! Maybe some girls really do like pie THAT MUCH. Turn it around from a way to a man's heart is through his stomach.... now it's a way to sit next to a girl is through an adjacent pie. It's definitely some good laughs with some 'wtf logic' moments.

Might be a cute game for some but not my taste. The repetitive music and generic stocks sounds drives me crazy and it got very hard to keep playing after a single hour of puzzles. The puzzles are very simple and it's pretty easy to maximize about a puzzle per minute. In one hour i went through 30+ puzzles and i didn't find that the challenge was smart enough to keep me interested. There are much better puzzle games with much more cleverness in their designs, and Girls like robots doesn't really offer anything memorable.

This is one of the most insane puzzle games I've ever played. The mechanics are simple: you have a grid of X by Y squares, place your pieces down in a way that everyone likes who they're seated beside (the basic rule of the game: Girls like Robots. Girls don't like Nerds. Nerds like Girls, Robots, but not other Nerds). Except then suddenly you're learning that June actually really likes Bugs. But Bugs don't like Girls. And Ben likes June, so make sure to leave a space near June for Ben so he can ask her out, and... The game's complexity builds slowly, and it comes through adorably quirky cutscenes. It also has 3 tiers of medal per stage, but in a twist I absolutely adore, "gold" does not mean "perfect" - it just means "the highest". This is one of those games where the designer didn't go through and mathematically 'solve' every stage and expect you to do the same, and that goes a long way for me in saying "This is the kind of game devoted to fun first, humor second, and everything else is just a bonus". Plus, if you score enough golds and things, you unlock alternate silly modes. I'm waiting to see what Nerd Drop is. edit: Infinite Nerd Drop is everything I wanted from the name.
