B.O.B. is a teenage robot going on his first date, and his father tells him to be back by 11 PM with the family rocket intact or else he will never drive again. Along the way, he gets confused by an end-of-lane sign and crashes head-on into a guard asteroid, falling into a strange place (the first level) in a hostile asteroid belt, and must now fight his way back (with the aid of a new gun).

The game is a run-and-gun platformer. The player controls the robot B.O.B. through three different worlds. The goal of each level is to get to the goal (a circle of stars) before time runs out. B.O.B. moves with {{left}} and {{right}}; he cannot change direction without stopping first. He shoots his gun with {{B}}, which has limited ammunition. He starts with the Single Shot gun, but he can acquire multiple different guns, each with its own separate ammunition. Ammunition is collected by collecting icons scattered throughout each level. A punch is also available when ammunition for B.O.B.'s gun runs out (or if the player wishes to conserve it). B.O.B. can store a maximum of 99 shots per weapon.

B.O.B. moves with {{left}} and {{right}}; he cannot change direction without slowing down or stopping first. He jumps with {{C}} and jumps higher when the button is held longer. He shoots his gun with {{B}}, which has limited ammunition. He starts with the Single Shot gun, but he can acquire multiple different guns, each with its own separate ammunition. Ammunition is collected by collecting icons scattered throughout each level. He can also punch enemies when he runs out of ammunition (or if the player wishes to conserve it). B.O.B. can store a maximum of 99 shots per weapon. All weapons (besides the punch) can be fired directly upward with {{up}}+{{B}}.

B.O.B. can equip a wide variety of weapons and gadgets called "remotes," each with its own ammunition or stock. Remotes are used with {{A}}. Use of remotes, such as a trampoline or helicopter, is necessary to complete some stages. Remotes are collected by finding icons, and B.O.B. can store as many as 9 of each remote. The player can change B.O.B.'s load-out through the inventory menu with {{Start}}; guns are switched with {{B}} and remotes are switched with {{A}}.

B.O.B. crouches with {{down}} and stays crouching until he stands back up with {{up}}.

He can grab pipes and vines with {{up}} and drop off them with {{down}}.

B.O.B. has a power meter that goes down as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. B.O.B. takes a small amount of damage and is stunned for a duration if he falls from a great height. Some levels contain rechargers, which resemble doorways, that B.O.B. can enter with {{up}} and exit with {{down}} to restore his power. He is destroyed and loses a life if he runs out of power. Each level has a time limit, and the player loses a life once it runs out; the game ends if the player runs out of lives, but there is a password system for continuing. The player earns an extra life for every 100,000 points earned and can also find extra lives in the levels.

B.O.B., known in Japan as Space Funky B.O.B. (スペースファンキーＢ.Ｏ.Ｂ.), is a Sega Mega Drive run-and-gun platforming game developed by Foley Hi-Tech and Chris Gray Enterprises.

Story

B.O.B., Introduction.png

Introduction

B.O.B. is a teenage robot going on his first date, and his father tells him to be back by 11 PM with the family rocket intact or else he will never drive again. Along the way, he gets confused by an end-of-lane sign and crashes head-on into a guard asteroid, falling into a strange place (the first level) in a hostile asteroid belt. He must now fight his way back (with the aid of a new gun).

Gameplay

B.O.B., Pause Menu.png

Pause menu

The game is a run-and-gun platformer. The player controls the robot B.O.B. through three different worlds. The goal of each level is to get to the goal (a circle of stars) before time runs out. B.O.B. moves with Left and Right; he cannot change direction without slowing down or stopping first. He jumps with C and jumps higher when the button is held longer. He shoots his gun with B, which has limited ammunition. He starts with the Single Shot gun, but he can acquire multiple different guns, each with its own separate ammunition. Ammunition is collected by collecting icons scattered throughout each level. He can also punch enemies when he runs out of ammunition (or if the player wishes to conserve it). B.O.B. can store a maximum of 99 shots per weapon. All weapons (besides the punch) can be fired directly upward with Up+B.

B.O.B. can equip a wide variety of weapons and gadgets called "remotes," each with its own ammunition or stock. Remotes are used with A. Use of some remotes, such as the Trampoline or Helicopter Hat, is necessary to complete some stages. Remotes are collected by finding icons, and B.O.B. can store as many as 9 of each remote. The player can change B.O.B.'s load-out through the inventory menu with  START ; guns are switched with B and remotes are switched with A.

B.O.B. crouches with Down and stays crouching until he stands back up with Up. He can move and shoot while crouched, which is sometimes necessary to fit through narrow passages, but cannot jump or use remotes. He ascends ladders with Up and descends them with Down. He can grab pipes and vines with Up and drop off them with Down.

B.O.B. has a power meter that goes down as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. B.O.B. takes a small amount of damage and is stunned for a duration if he falls from a great height. Some levels contain rechargers, which resemble doorways, that B.O.B. can enter with Up and exit with Down to restore his power. He is destroyed and loses a life if he runs out of power. He has special animations depending on how he dies. He loses all of his items when he loses a life and starts the stage over with the default load-out (50 shots of the Single Shot and 5 uses of the Trampoline). His power is replenished at the beginning of each level, and his weapons carry over. Each level has a time limit, and the player loses a life once it runs out; the game ends if the player runs out of lives, but there is a password system for continuing. The player earns an extra life for every 100,000 points earned and can also find extra lives in the levels. The player is given bonus points for the amount of power and time remaining at the end of each level.
