"Helperbot" bugged?
I'm pretty sure I've finished all the levels including the maze, yet no achievement.

I was about to ask that as well. All levels are green; I don't remember anything in the game that was refering quests, either.

Unless maybe it's about collecting all the coins in the maze?

That would be, frankly, bonkers.

The "computer" available at that point has inherent limitation - you can only jump to first 63 bytes of program. Past that point, jumps no longer function. On top of that there are no functions, no labels in assembly, and only absolute jumps are supported. It is royal pain in the backside to program like this.

I know that I messed with raw machine code programming as a kid (typing octal codes), but that's no longer enjoyable right now.

Helperbot is not about the normal levels.

Would you be so kind as to provide a hint, then?

Because I've tried scrolling the level map far away, clicking on every entry in the credits or options menu, but there doesn't seem to be anything there.

That could explain it, though it probably doesn't apply to b0fh's situation.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I cannot find the fourth quest. I've completed the pink, the green and the black one. What's the last?

Go through the caves past the grey knight.

I collected all the coins, hoping for one of the hidden achievements. But alas, you get none.
It was like... 3 extra lines added to my code?
It's really not that complicated.
