If you’re ready to give it a go, Rob Riches is available to download from the Google Play Store, App Store, as well as on Steam. While the puzzles can be challenging, these features make the game very forgiving for both newbie treasure hunters and veteran puzzle aficionados alike. Thankfully, there’s an undo feature where you can take back your previous move, as well as a reset button that brings you back to the beginning of a level for a welcome do-over. You can also easily meet your demise or get stuck with no way back if you don’t think ahead. Speaking of the levels, you’ll really have to put on your thinking cap before making a move as your step counter will tell you how efficient you are at collecting those coins. Rob will intuitively move boxes, bounce on trampolines, and collect those coins once he steps on the same block on the grid, so navigating through the levels is easy-peasy. All you need to do is to move Rob Riches up, down, left, and right, and the puzzle will work things out for you. There are no attack buttons to button-mash, no camera angles to rotate, and no jumps to time perfectly.
All these are done with charming graphics and an even more charming protagonist, making each level a visual treat. For instance, you might have to rearrange crates that block your path in the jungle, while you’ll have to watch your step on the ice to avoid slipping and sliding down to your demise below. Each world has a very distinct vibe to it, not to mention unique challenges that are in sync with the environment.
