Bits & Bolts was agame inClub Penguin. It was a robot building game which was located in theArcade. It was created by "Snowball Soft". Onlymembers could play past level 5.

Gameplay[]

In this game, players had to clear blocks as fast as possible. To clear the blocks, look at the number on the blue target (which took over the cursor's role). Then, players had to click on the blocks with the bolts that matched the number on the target.

Once blocks were cleared, the game would automatically advance to the next level. The numbers on the target and the number of bolts on each block would increase. The game ended when a stack of blocks reached the top of the screen. More blocks would fall if the player made a mistake or took too long to finish the level.

If the player used only the blocks the game asked for (on the bar on the left),more parts to create a robot were won. Once a robot was created, the game went back to small numbers.

There were also "blast balls" which helped to explode nearby blocks. Blast balls could either have a plus sign or a minus sign on them.
