Plot
Kiki, a nano bot, is the only bot left sane from a "parasitic capacity" that affected the nano world where he lived, leaving all the nano bots produced in that world "lazy stupid little robots/which shoot each other/and destroy the nano world". kiki's task is to "repair the maker" (of nano bots).[5]
Gameplay
In each level, certain task must be performed, so the exit gate can be activated, then, if kiki moves through the activated exit gate, it will be 'beamed' to the next level.[6] Gravity works towards the surface you were last touching and kiki can walk around the walls and on all sides of any block.[7] The game has 50 levels, which can be viewed by selecting "Statistics", in the main menu, in which the progress of the user appears.
