New to Dinky Ink? Here's the whole game in 14 lines.
- 🐢 The Pollen Bot follows the bee until its battery dies (45s).
- 🔋 Battery pickup stations sit in the map's 4 corners.
- ⚡ Touch the bot after grabbing a battery to reactivate it.
- 🍯 The bot collects residue rewards and pollen — credited to the bee.
- 🚀 The bee holds 3 missiles at a time; recharges every 10s, or instantly on rewards.
- 🐍 Snake birds lose one segment per hit; the head regrows in 8s.
- 💣 The bee triggers bombs just by touching them.
- ⏱️ A wall bomb explodes 3s after being triggered.
- 🧨 Dynamite needs 2 triggers before it blows.
- ❤️ The bee has 4 lives in total.
- ⭕ A medium circle around the bee is where the bot lives and works.
- ✨ Special pollens grant different abilities when the bee eats them.
- 🐦 Different bird types have different abilities — all of them kill the bee on contact.
- 🐍 The snake bird is the only bird that actively chases the bee.
- 🦜 Wall Sentries perch in groups of 3 and can't move — they kill on touch and spit acid up to 2 bee-widths.
- 💣 Big Bombs are a rare Tbot-collected reward, shown next to the battery badge — tap FIX (or Shift+B) to place one (4s fuse, huge blast — get clear!).

🚀 ACTIONS
💡 TIPS
Blue = loaded · Dark = empty
Earn missiles by collecting the colour sequence shown in NEXT, or by 5 kills in a row.
🎯 Missile Kills last tail bird. Rest continue.
💣 Wall bomb Kills last tail bird.
🧨 Dynamite Kills last 2 tail birds.
🐙 Octopus Kills 1 tail bird, snake flees.
Regrows 1 bird every 8 seconds until back to 4.
A battery-powered helper that hangs around you, gathering pollen and bomb residue on your behalf.
🔋 BATTERY
Touch a corner station to bank a charge (shown between the NEXT and SCORE pills), then touch the dead bot to revive it.
🎯 BEHAVIOUR
Hunts the nearest pollen or residue inside your radar circle. Nothing to chase? It hangs around near you instead — not locked directly behind you.
Looks around on its own — forward, side glances, occasionally up or back over its shoulder.
Bumping a bird, snake, or wall just makes it glance over — no other effect. Bumping you makes it flinch and back off a step, then both of you carry on. It never strays outside your radar circle, and never sets off bombs or dynamite. It moves at the same speed as you.
🍯 WHAT IT COLLECTS
Counts exactly as if YOU picked it up — same points, same streaks, same powers.
All bomb residue — including 🐙 Octopus, which only ever drops as residue now — is the bot's job exclusively. If a residue power comes in while its battery is dead, it's held and activates the instant the bot is revived.
