With one million plays within the first week of its release,Robot Unicorn Attack is one of the most popular and most played games featured on Adult Swim. As a result of its popularity, Adult Swim has made official merchandise for the game, and has released it on the App Store and Google Play. Adult Swim released three followups to Robot Unicorn Attack, subtitled Heavy Metal, Christmas Edition, and Evolution respectively.

Robot Unicorn Attack is a sidescrolling platform game in which the user controls the movement of a robotic unicorn in a manner similar to Canabalt, a game released in 2009. The object of the game is to prolong gameplay without falling off the stage, crashing into the edges of platforms, or colliding with crystal stars (without first dashing). Points are earned with play time, by collecting pixies, and by destroying crystal stars by dashing through them. As the game progresses, the stage slides faster. Jumps and dashes can be chained together while the unicorn is airborne. The player has three lives (referred to as "wishes"), and the sum of the scores from each life count for the player's final score.
Due to the game's popularity, Adult Swim released Robot Unicorn Attack T-shirt; this was the first time Adult Swim had released game-related merchandise. In June 2010, it was released for iOS, and in August, the game was released on Facebook, making it the first time an Adult Swim game had been ported to Facebook. In the following month, a Robot Unicorn Attack hoodie became available. In October, a high-definition version of Robot Unicorn Attack was released for the iPad. On April 19, 2011, the game was released for Android.
