Game information[]

Chisel series[]

Chisel 1[]

Quackbots will try to home in on Chiseler, taking the shortest route to him around the perimeter of the planet they are on. Yellow quackbots move at a fair speed and will die when drilled from underneath. Angry quackbots are much faster than the usual yellow quackbot. In the first Chisel game, they are invincible. Usually, quackbots come in groups of three on one planet.

Implementations in Chisel 2[]

With the implementation of Chiseler being able to jump in Chisel 2, quackbots can be easily avoided. Yellow quackbots also were given a special ability, where they would turn angry and when jumped on and race around the planet for a short time.

Nitrome Must Die[]

In Nitrome Must Die, quackbots have the same behavior they show in Chisel series. However, they can only be damaged by being shot with a weapon, jumping on their heads only causes damage. They only appear in one level on level sets 1-10 and 21-30

Yellow quackbots are the usual type of quackbots spawned out of pipes. They move slowly and walk horizontally, only turning at walls. Angry quackbots on the other hand, move faster than the yellow ones and have more health.

Trivia[]

  • In Chisel 2, yellow quackbots are first introduced on a quackbot manufacturing plant shaped like an egg in a nest.
  • Quackbots resemble Cataquacks from the Mario series, and their behavior resembles Wigglers because if one was jumped on, it would be stunned and infuriated when "un-stunned".
