After launching on the North American Wii U eShop in May, Mobot Studios has announced Blocky Bot is jumping across to Europe on 23rd July.
The endless 3D platformer featuring 'mini arcade action' promises to test even the best players’ platforming skills and reflexes, pushing them to the limits as they gather Bits and Bytes to unlock plenty of new characters and themes.
In addition to endless hours of replay value and high score fun, there is an original soundtrack with plenty of blocky jams, pinpoint accuracy controls and Off-TV Play – with gameplay catering to a wide range of ages.
In our Nintendo Life review we said Blocky Bot for Wii U eShop was simplicity at its best featuring gripping arcade platform gameplay best suited to short bursts. We awarded it 8 stars out of 10.
Take a look at the rather obscure but amusing game trailer and rap video below and be sure to drop a few lines – or rhymes – in the comments below.

Might give it a look, I like endless runners.
OK, I just saw the price in $, if it comes to be around that price in £ then that'll be awesome!
That trailer was incredibly well-written and directed, despite the poor drawn clip art they included, but methinks that's part of its surprising charm.
Ah! I have a lot to say about this game.
I bought it based on Nintendo Life's recommendation, but man, it's just not for me. "Hours of replay value and high score fun" sounds all well and good until most of the characters/themes are unlocked. I think this is the first eShop game that I've uninstalled and have no plans to return to 😕
Hahaha what an awesome video! I'm buying the game due to the trailer alone. The gameplay looks fun too.
Get on this, Euro peeps. My high score is sitting at 262 and no one on miiverse has beaten it. I'd love for someone to best it and give me a reason to try even harder.
@Burn For $1.99, I thought it was pretty solid. I've played it for about an hour & a half so far- will probably play it for at least that long. For for $2, I get three hours of entertainment? Maybe a little more? I'd recommend this- just manage expectations a little bit. I thought it was done pretty well, especially considering other games at this price point or even in some cases more.
@Rockodoodle - Agh, you know, that would be okay if it was on my phone or 3DS (I've done worse for $2) - but the fact that I'm left underwhelmed after putting several hours in to a Wii U game is a big disappointment.
Maybe I should make a proper forum post, instead of making lengthy comments on this article 😫
