[edit] Gameplay

The goal of every level in both games is to clear the level of all trash cans, and Junkbot is the one who must clear the level. Junkbot cannot be moved by the player (he walks by himself, will not fall of an edge and will turn back if he walks into a dead end), but the player's movement of bricks can effect where he goes (however he cannot walk over a brick structure two or more bricks high (but he can walk on staircases)). The player cannot move grey bricks, but they can move colored bricks. When Junkbot comes in contact with a trash can, he will collect it. In Junkbot Undercover, there are certain levels in which there are trash cans that can walk away from Junkbot. However, these walking trash cans can fall off edges and cannot turn back if they walk into a dead end.

[edit] Special Bricks

Jump Brick: Jump Bricks can make Junkbot jump if he steps on them. If it is gold-colored, it is movable.
Shield Brick: Shield Bricks can make Junkbot invulnerable until he comes in contact with a Hazard. A movable version can be found in Junkbot Undercover.
