Robot Unicorns that collect butterfly fairies? Check. An easy to understand, but hard to master game mechanic? Check. A soundtrack that will raise eyebrows of patrons at the local coffee shop you frequent by its awesomeness? Check. Robot Unicorn Attack certainly has everything in place required to make an awesome game experience, and Adult Swim announced today that it has brought the Robot Unicorn Attack flash-game experience to the iPhone
The game plays a lot like Canabalt and Mirror’s Edge in that your character, a Robot Unicorn, is running across a number of platforms varying in height and location in order to continue achieving points. The farther you travel, the more points you’ll get. Along the way, your Robot Unicorn will be able to collect butterfly fairies and dash your way through crystal stars which will further your score total. The iPhone version plays identical to the original, except for the addition of dedicated buttons at the bottom of the screen for the “Jump” and “Dash” commands. Facebook Connect allows you to show your Facebook friends just how much more awesome you are at being a Robot Unicorn than they are.
If you’ve ever wanted to play the role of a Robot Unicorn dreaming of chasing butterfly fairies & dolphins all to the soundtrack Erasure’s “Always“, then this is the game you’ve been longing for.
