Shape Robot

How to Play

Drag colorful shape pieces onto the blue robot plan, finish the robot and watch it dance. 9 stages, a robot gallery and a free workshop.

How to Play

  1. Drag a piece from the belt to the empty spot with the same outline on the blue plan. When it gets close, it clicks into place.
  2. Tap a piece with the ↻ mark to turn it. Turn it until it faces the right way.
  3. In some stages color and size must match too, and the belt holds look-alike pieces that fit nowhere. A piece that does not fit slides back to the belt.
  4. A finished robot comes to life, dances and joins the gallery. The map button opens the stages, the free workshop and the gallery.

About this Game

Shape Robot has 33 rounds in 9 stages. It starts with robots made of a few pieces, then adds new shapes, pieces that need turning, color matching, telling circles from ovals and squares from rectangles, and the same shape in different sizes. In the last stage the child designs a robot freely. Some stages end with a gear collecting bonus. There is no timer and no penalty.

Common Questions

Can a child who cannot read play?

Yes. There are no written instructions. If the child gets stuck, a hand shows where a piece goes, and tapping a piece says the shape's name when the browser has a voice for it.

What happens if a piece is dropped in the wrong place?

It slides back to the belt and can be tried again. There are no lives, lost points or time limits.

Are the robots saved?

The game tries to keep the last 48 robots, the gears and the current stage in the site's storage. If saving is not possible the game still works, it just starts over next time.
