Help this cute robot escape a distant planet in 'Robox'

We're of the opinion that the world could do with more cute robots and more hand-drawn 2D games. It's no wonder, then, that we watched the trailer for the WiiWare game Robox so raptly. Robox tells the story of a cube-shaped probe robot exploring a strange, lush planet, surviving with the help of the indigenous life-forms.

The trailer reveals platforming, an offensive "drop" ability that can be used to break blocks, and a retractable arm that can grab items. It also features segments of pointer-based shooting. Dreambox Games has yet to reveal a release window or price for Robox.
