[edit] Gameplay
Gameplay is based around multiple mini-games, each quite simple and straightforward to play using the four buzz controllers. It's primarily aimed at the family market but offers appealing entertainment to almost anyone of any age. Simple game play allows young children to participate while still being entertaining enough for older children and adults. The game is similar in concept to Jungle Party, with robot based mini-games in a space-themed environment. One of the main differences between Jungle Party and Robo Jam is the introduction of AI, allowing players to play against the computer. Unlike Jungle Party there is no solo game mode. A full game can be played with only one human player and three computer players.
There are some original game ideas combined with a number of variations on the Jungle Party mini-games.
[edit] Mini Games
- Octo Beat
- Similar to Monkey Bongo and Rain Dance in Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party. Players have got to hit the correct beat to win. A green alien sings and players must dance to his singing.
- Pillow Fight
- The lights go out and when they are switched back on each of the robots is stood next to another robot. The first player to press the other robot's colour correctly knocks their opponent over with a big pillow.
- Robot Throwing
- A giant robot picks the players character up and spins it around, increasing in speed with each revolution. Upon pressing their Buzzer, the giant robot releases the player to hurtle down the course. The robot who gets thrown the furthest wins.
- Bug Blast
- Similar to Whack a squirrel in Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party. Players shoot aliens to score points. Shooting an alien snake loses points.
- Basket Eye-Ball
- Players press their buzzers to jump and press their buzzers again to throw an eye of a robot into it's head. Filling the head with eyes causes the production line to move on to the next head.
