Press release:
NEWARK, DE – Sep. 10, 2019 – “Grobo“, the puzzle platformer from Hot Chocolate Games, will launch on iOS and Android on October 10, 2019.

In the mysterious and metallic world of Megatropolis, an adorable robot named Grobo awakens.

With the ability to shift gravity and walk freely, Grobo must solve mind-bending puzzles to learn about the fall of civilization. Follow Grobo as he uncovers the truth to why his world is abandoned, finds memories of those who once lived there, and attempts to restore the world.

Megatropolis houses 48 hand-drawn stages overloaded with hazards, traps, and lore-filled collectibles. Lasers, environmental hazards, and gravity-shifting debris await at every corner, forcing Grobo to be methodical when harnessing gravity and traversing new areas. Adept puzzle solvers can also help Grobo perfect each stage by obtaining a 4-star ranking and collecting the remnants of the fallen to reveal secret lore.

Each chapter of Grobo’s adventure is accompanied by a painterly background and enchanting soundtrack from the talented duo PHÖZ, the composers of the OST for the critically acclaimed Where Shadows Slumber. Each stage also unveils a new piece of Grobo’s story, leading him one step closer to finding the truth that is hidden within his ominous world. Prepare your wits and join Grobo on his adventure to restore humanity.

Grobo Key Features:
– 48 levels of complex and diverse puzzles that will challenge the way you think about gravity
– Deep narrative full of endearment, hardship, and mystery
– Painterly, hand-drawn style paired with an enchanting soundtrack by PHÖZ
– Distinct and colorful locations brimming with hazards, traps, and collectible lore

“The heart of Grobo is a combination of diverse puzzles and deep storytelling,” says Steven Shing, Co-founder of Hot Chocolate Games.

“Despite our cute protagonist and welcoming aesthetic, Grobo is a tale about overcoming loneliness and finding redemption.”

Grobo will be available for $3.99 USD when it launches next month on iOS and Android. For more info about this adorable little robot and his adventures, head over to Hot Chocolate Games’ official Twitter and Website.
