5The year is 0001 [=AH=] (After Humans), and the world is populated by robots. The planet is controlled by the [=BotBlocker=] Corporation, which seeks to achieve world peace... via planetary destruction. To combat this, a new robot was built. His name is Frobot, and with his power stored in five lovely lady-bots (Sassy Brass, Jada Jett, Foxy Proxy, Violet Reel, and Astella Bust), he seeks to save the world... once he and they have boogied down.

7However, the forces of evil aren't content to wait for him to finish partying down first. So, while Frobot is on his way to them, some robo-villains decide to crash the party and abduct his girlfriends. With four of five of them kidnapped (Sassy Brass managed to hide when they showed up), Frobot has been stripped of his powers. Now he needs to groove his way through multiple challenging levels in order to rescue them.
