 GAMEPLAY:
Oh no! Some Robot Petpets have stumbled into the Space Station's Recycling Centre and gotten lost!. If you don't guide them through the three treacherous rooms of the Recycling Centre, they'll wind up on the scrap heap and be melted down for sure! Using the left and right arrows on your keyboard, tilt the beams to make the Petpets drop into the bins at the bottom of the screen. Watch out for obstacles along the way, and be sure to aim the carefully. One false move and they'll be recycled.
THE PETPETS:
In the game you need to save 5 different kinds of Petpets, they are:
Avabot |
GX-4 Oscillabot |
Millipod |
Roburg 3T3 |
Rotawheel |
3 TREACHEROUS ROOMS:
It looks like the game has 18 levels. The first 6 levels take place in THE SORTER. Level 7 to 12 take place in THE GRINDER, and from level 13 you play inside THE INCINERATOR. At the start of level 1, 7 and 13 you see the texts below:
- THE SORTER
Welcome to THE SORTER. This facility is brand-new; its rolling beams are steady and secure, so saving the lost Petpets should not be a problem for a seasoned rescuer like you. However, be aware that it's only going to get harder to save the Petpets from here, as the recycling machinery becomes more treacherous along the way... - THE GRINDER
You are now entering THE GRINDER. Everything that enters the area is ground into a fine powder and eventually reused in the factories of Neopia. Please save as many Petpets as you can! - THE INCINERATOR
The text for THE INCINERATOR is unknown. If you know it, please fill in the form below.

POINTS:
For every Petpet you succesfully drop inside a recycle bin, you earn at least 5 points. you can earn 10 extra points per Petpet, when you drop the Petpet in the middle of the recycle bin, so a total of 15 points per Petpet. Inside the gamefield you also see yellow and red stars. When a Robot Petpet picks up a yellow star, you earn 3 points. And getting a red star earns you even more, namely 10 points added to your score.
 5 KIND OF BEAMS:
In the picture of the left you see the five kind of beams that can be found in the game. The lenght of the beams is different in each level, but how they work is the same. Here is how they all work and what you can do with them:
- DARK BLUE
Press left or right arrow key to move the Petpet this direction.
- LIGHT BLUE
The beam goes down at the side that the Petpet touched it.
- METALIC GREY
This beam is usually smaller than the other beams making it harder to control.
- BEAM WITH RED DOT
When the Petpet touches this beam, the beam will explode in two seconds, and when the Petpet is on the beam, the Petpet will be trown into the air, hoping it will land on an other beam or into a recycle bin. Otherwise you lost one Petpet.
- WOOD BROWN
This beam is handy when you want to wait for a recycle bin. The trick is that when the Petpet touches the left side of the beam, you need to press the right arrow key to hold it, and by letting go of the right arrow key, the Petpet will fall of the left side of the beam. Same goes for the right side of the beam, where you need to hold the left arrow key.
|
  BLUE & GREEN ROBURG:
Once in a while you see a mini version of the Green Roburg and/or Blue Roburg inside the gamefield. When a Petpet grabs it, you earn additional points when the level is completed. But there is more; Grabbing the Green Roburg you get 1 Petpet saved added to your current amount (so 1 less to save to complete the level). And grabbing the Blue Roburg earn you 3 Petpets saved, but these don't count for completing the level earlier. These only count for your score after you completed the level.
