Groovy Greg set out to build robots that could love. Instead, he got the nanobots.
Although the bots were designed to solve problems as a team, all their trial runs seem to end with the sound of tiny metallic fists meeting tiny metallic torsos. It’s enough to make even the most laid-back hippie want to tear out his dreadlocks.
Now, with the evil Professor Killfun threatening to give him a failing grade, Groovy Greg has almost given up on his experiment. Little does he know that his beloved bots are about to meet an even bigger challenge than they had been programmed for...
Nanobots is a classic-style point and click adventure game that lets you take control of Hotbot, Brainbot, Tallbot, Audbot…, Strongbot, and Chembot as they race to save themselves from being turned into scrap metal. Can they make use of their surroundings, fashion an escape plan, and avoid coming face-to-fist with Professor Killfun? Only if they give peace a chance.

Another fine game from The Ivy. Clever, though at times difficult, puzzles compliment a funny and engaging story. Some (very) minor technical glitches don't detract from a game that is well worth playing. Recommended!

Its hard to believe that none of Ivy's games have made it to these hallowed pages before. The guy picking games must be an idiot! Not to mention his dodgy expenses claims... Anyway, Erin Robinson has had acclaim throughout the known universe for her games and has won oodles of prizes. One of…
We'd love to hear what you think about the game!

Brilliant game concept. There's another similar game by the same author on Steam. It's called Puzzle Bots. Great game too.
I really liked the idea and concept, but that music got to my head after a while and the puzzle became somewhat tideous. Overall a cool game, but maybe not for everyone.
This was the first AGS game I ever played and it was and still is the one that got me hooked on the engine for both playing and developing games...
PLAY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW OR DIE!!!
Close to perfect! A couple of the puzzles were odd enough that I had to check a walkthrough but apart from that, this is great. The robots' personalities are distinct and charming, while the different look at how to interact with a room of adventure game objects keeps it interesting.
The idea of the game is really great and visually it's a beautiful game. The story is quite good. Unfortunately, the inventory system and the puzzles are pretty bad - all the puzzles are excessively tedious. Potions MUST be done in a strict order, otherwise the game must be loaded back and lots of fetching of items must be repeated. I gave up on it after having to redo the potions several times because I put ingredients in in the wrong order. (Even though I had the right idea.) The ability to put down items would help a lot.
