How to Play
Playing Odd Bot Out is intuitive but challenges your creativity and problem-solving skills. Here’s how it works:
- Navigate Levels: Move Odd through each room by clicking or tapping where you want the bot to go. Use WASD or arrow keys on PC for precise movement.

- Interact with Objects: Drag or tap items like elevators, levers, or blocks to manipulate the environment. Some levels require timing or physics-based solutions, like balancing a structure.
- Use Hints: If stuck, click the light bulb icon for hints (available via ads in free versions or included in premium versions) to guide you without spoiling the solution.
- Reach the Exit: Guide Odd to the golden cube or exit in each level to progress. Complete all 100 levels to finish the game, with a limited sandbox mode unlocked after the credits.
