About Oil Up!

Oil Up! is a physics puzzle game set in a sleepy robot factory. Each level hides a robot waiting for oil. Dig a path through the dirt with your finger or mouse, and the oil flows down the channel you've made, splashing and pooling like real liquid, until it fills the robot and brings it back to life.

Each robot you wake joins your crew and can be upgraded in the Workshop, while whole rooms of the factory power up as you progress. Watch out for lava along the way. Once the first levels are done, Random mode creates brand-new puzzles every time at the difficulty you choose.

What kids practise

  • Cause and effect
  • Early physics (how liquids flow)
  • Planning and problem solving
  • Creative thinking (there's often more than one way)

How to play

  1. Drag your finger (or mouse) to dig through the dirt.
  2. Make a path so the oil flows down to the robot.
  3. Fill the robot with oil to wake it up.
  4. Keep the oil away from lava, and try Random mode for brand-new levels.

Tips

  • Look at the whole level before you start digging.
  • Dig smooth paths: the oil follows the shape you make.
  • Bring a helper robot from your crew to make tricky levels easier.
