How it feels

A tense and fast-paced casual game where you methodically destroy self-replicating robots, with every missed nanobot threatening to undo your progress in seconds.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on Nanobots. Many find the core mechanic of frantically dragging the mouse to delete triangles more frustrating than fun, citing wrist pain and a need for precision that the game never eases up on. A few enjoy the challenge and unique concept, but even they note the lack of a pause button and the physical strain.
