Freeware Game Pick: Nanobots (Erin Robinson)
Nanobots is a point and click adventure game that lets you control six different robots as they race to save themselves from being turned into scrap metal by an evil professor. Players will only get to control one robot at a time, but can switch between them by clicking on the row of icons at the bottom of the screen.
The game includes a handy tutorial, while helpful suggestions on solving puzzles can be acquired by using Audbot to converse with other characters. (hints, Spooks)

Seems very easy to get stuck. Once Strongbot throws his hissy fit, you can't move stuff around, which denies you a whole lot of options.
Can't figure out how to rescue the gumball.

SPOILERS AHEAD, YAR-HAR
To get strongbot back, make tallbot pick up the necklace, which will pull down the vase and flowers with it. Then you can have audiobot pick up the flowers and give them to strongbot as an apology.
I still haven't figured out what to do with the acid or vase, or how to rescue the gumball. Pushing stuff in its way to block it doesn't work (it just rolls around and off the table anyway).

I absolutely love this game..
SPOILER(ish):
Have you read the postcard yet? That is, have you figured a way to reveal the message. I think that may be required before you can use the acid.
I have no clue what to do with the balloon, or how to get those bots down from the top shelf. Chembot is carrying the white tube, but stuck up there..

Getting off the shelf solved... Still no clue about the balloon.. Didn't Analyze it so may have missed some critical clue there.
Anyways, if someone hasnt yet played this one, you definitely need to :)
