The adventure
Explore.
Upgrade. Rescue Kitty.
Robot begins with only the ability to move. Find the jump upgrade, then keep exploring as new tools become available: routes that looked impossible become reachable, enemies become manageable, and the way back often reveals something that was missed before.
The goal is simple—reach Kitty—but the route is a tightly connected sequence of exploration, upgrades, and increasingly demanding encounters.
Unlock abilities
Every upgrade changes how Robot moves and which hazards or enemies can be overcome.
Reach Kitty
Combine the abilities you find, defeat the obstacles in your way, and complete Robot's rescue mission.
Robot Wants Kitty controls and tips
How do I move, jump, and attack?
With the default keyboard controls, use Left and Right to move, Up, Z, or Y to jump, X to shoot, C to dash, and P to pause. Jumping, shooting, and dashing require their upgrades first. The web remaster also has touch controls for phones and tablets.
Why can't Robot jump at the start?
Robot starts with movement only. Explore the paths you can reach and collect the jump upgrade. Later upgrades open more of the map, so return to passages that were out of reach before.
What should I do when a route seems blocked?
Look for an unexplored route or an ability pickup before repeating a difficult jump. Movement and weapon upgrades solve different obstacles; a blocked passage may become useful after your next discovery.
Which Robot Wants game comes next?
Continue with Robot Wants Puppy, where Kitty becomes part of your toolkit. Then explore Robot Wants Fishy, which introduces bombs and underwater abilities.
The web remaster
A 2010 classic,
