Frobot, the bad ass mutha robot with the penchant for solving puzzles and taking down bosses has finally gotten a confirmed release window, that being Q4 of this year. For those that don’t remember, DIYgamer has been following the progress of Frobot since it was first announced back in in November of last year. Back then the game was set to launch within a few months. Needless to say, however, that didn’t exactly happen as planned.

Frobot is based around arena-styled puzzles, where, as the Frobot, you must complete each puzzle in each area before moving on. Think Smash TV but with less killing and more puzzle solving. Additionally, the game will launch with a multiplayer mode where four players will battle it out with all the weapons Frobot has to offer.

Despite taking a little longer than expected, it looks like the game remains unchanged from what we played earlier this year aside from a single added feature; something called Collectible Power Picks.

Each level in the Single Playa (sic) campaign has a collectible power pick. If you can collect all five power picks in a location, you will upgrade one of Frobot’s powers.

Unfortunately, additional information is non existent. So upgrading your powers to what extent remains a mystery.

I played the demo last November and came away impressed with the game. Here’s hoping whatever spit and polish has gone into the game since then has only made it better.

We’ll be checking Frobot out at PAX later this week so stay tuned for an updated preview.
