How it feels

A cerebral puzzle of programming robot tactics, where you watch your logic play out in automated arena battles and refine it against opponents.

What players say

Players build behavior trees to control robot squads, trading real-time action for careful logic design. Opinions split: some see a polished, original puzzle game, others find it abandoned and repetitive once the novelty of scripting wears off.
