Tokobot is a puzzle-solving game in which the player takes control of Bolt, a 16-year girl who has been sent to a set of ancient ruins to decipher its clues in order to save the world. However, Bolt is not alone. She gets help from the Tokobots, a bunch a mechanized men who help Bolt out by forming certain objects such as bridges and ladders to avoid pitfalls and help move objects as well.
The gameplay is similar to Pikmin for the Gamecube, the player controls the Tokobots by highlighting them and sending them to certain areas and complete certain tasks. The game will start you out with six, but as the levels progress, more Tokobots will be available, the more that can be obtained, the more bigger and powerful machines that can be used. Likewise, the puzzles get harder as the game progresses as well.
