Robot Wants Ice Cream, the fourth and final game in the Robot series after Robot Wants Kitty, Robot Wants Puppy, Robot Wants Fishy, is a 2D webgame made using Actionscript 3.0, the Flixel library, and music by DrPetter and Robbe. The game was released on Kongregate and Hamumu on September 25, 2010. The goal of the game is to get Robot some ice cream! The game picks off from the last game. Robot, fed up with Kitty's shenanigans, throws kitty out of an airlock. Robot and Puppy then enter cryostasis (yes, robots need sleep too) until they reach Happy Ice Cream Planet. However, when they arrive, things are not as they should be...
This game is much more action-oriented than the other games in the Robot series. Powerups are scattered throughout the map, and collecting them will upgrade your existing ablities. There are also two game modes - Normal and Madcap. In Normal, Robot has three hit points. In Madcap, robot only has 2 hit points and enemies have been given more health and deadlier ablities.

His final form reduces the mecha to a hovering pod that floats towards Robot and drops a barrage of bombs from its underside.

Near the lower-right corner of the map, there is a 1-tile gap leading to a fake wall.
