Reception

Modojo said "Most importantly, the game's a ton of fun and shockingly addictive. It literally came out of nowhere. Kudos to Pieces Interactive for releasing such a well-designed and cool App guaranteed to consume hours of our lives."[5] PocketGamerUK wrote " Solid, simple, and effective controls are the basis for an entertaining one-touch experience. "[6] TouchArcade said "Robo Surf is lighthearted and fun, with enough hooks to turn it from a momentary distraction to one of my new favorites. "[7] Multiplayer.it said "The gameplay of Robo Surf is simple and intuitive, but unfortunately not so addictive, while the lack of variety and unlockable contents might discourage the player. Anyway, it's still a fun game and the cameos from Iji and Blueberry Garden are two nice touches."[8] AppAdvice reported "It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 226 ratings."[9]
