Gameplay: : The gist of robotfindskitten is that you control a robot (an asterisk) and you need to find a kitten.... because, hey... we all love kittens, right? The problem is that in robotfindskitten world, everything is a keystroke, so the kitten could be anything: the number 9, an ampersand, or even the colon (eww!). This is a great idea, actually. You see, in this world, I could say, "Hey, my car is a convertible BMW." You might say, "But that looks like a percent sign." And then I would say, "That's right, a-hole. You suck and you can’t ride in it.” But I wouldn't really do that... I'm just saying... ya know. Anyways, you control the robot around and touch all of the keystrokes on the screen and see what dialogue pops up when you touch the various objects on the screen, normally identifying itself. Most of the time, my reaction to these sayings is like how I feel when a child tells me a really really bad joke. Either that or something that makes you wonder how weird the programmer is. For example, sometimes you get to read little funny sayings when something identifies itself like: "An incredibly expensive “Mad About You” collector plate". But more often than not, you get weird messages like, “Grind em up and spit em out. They’re Twigs.” Sometimes you get messages where the creativity juice had run out: “It’s a U.S. President.” Eventually you find the keystroke that represented the kitten and then you are presented with an ending sequence where they run to each other and hug. That's.... it.
