Roboflip (Voltorb Flip)
A game inspired by Voltorb Flip from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Flip over cards and multiply your score, but watch out for the bombs!
How to play:
- Look at the indicators on the right and the bottom of the board. The top number on each is the total points in that row/column. The bottom number is the bomb count in that row/column.
- Proceed by elimination to find the cards most likely to give you high numbers.
- Tap a selected card again to flip it, or use the FLIP button. You can also select entire rows & columns by tapping the indicators on the sides!
- The first card you flip will be your starting score, and the next cards will multiply your score by 1, 2 or 3. A bomb will drop your score to zero and end the game.
- To win a game, flip over all the 2 and 3 cards.
- When you win, the level increases by 1. It decreases by 1 when you lose twice in a row.
- The level determines the amount of points, but also the number of bombs. Higher levels offer higher rewards, but a higher risk as well.
- The four numbered buttons allow you to make notes on each card to help determine their value. The larger pencil button toggles 0 and 1 notes on a card. Use notes to your advantage! TIP: Use the numpad or number keys if you have a keyboard!
I do not claim to own this game's base concept. Credits to Gamefreak/Pokémon for coming up with such an addicting puzzle game concept.
Also thanks to all the people who already made clones of Voltorb Flip, who inspired me to make my own. Most notably: shoutout to ianjsikes for making FLIP OUT (Voltorb Flip clone for PICO-8) here on Itch!

Thank you so much for making this for android! I love this game so much I maxxed it out in 26 hours of having it on my phone! You're the best!
It makes me so happy people are still enjoying this game :D If you find any bugs or have ideas for making it better please let me know!! Thanks so much
Great QOL additions to the base concept and a very useful UI/interaction scheme to boot. I play this a lot, so thanks!
The only thing I would change is for the selection box animation to either be continuous or settle on static, the pause on it somehow feels a bit distracting. But this is extremely minor. Otherwise this is the best version out there.
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you like it so much!! Interesting about the cursor animation, I never thought about it. Maybe I’ll try out a continuous animation and see how it feels :)
I featured your game on my website, as part of my "Giga Groovy Games" collection of modern indie classics. https://erikhoudini.com/the_crypt/arcade/
Thanks so much! It really means a lot that you would select my game for your site <3
Been playing a ton of this on my phone, thank you!
Awesome, thanks!! I'm so glad people are still playing this :D
Every so often I get the urge to play Voltorb Flip and I hate having to charge my 3DS just to boot up HGSS just for that.
I love the 1.2 update!
Thanks :)
