In the meantime we're improving our bots' behaviour and fixing some issues they had when we first launched them. Patch notes are below. We'd love to hear some feedback. We're always working on ways to improve the AI and make them more fun to play against. Cheers!

A Classic Charm

Pixel Art-style aesthetic and animations made with more love than your grandmother's cookies. Modern visuals with a classic feel that will take you back to the 16-bit era as if time hadn’t gone by.

Arm yoursef with the myriad weapons that are hidden within the boxes! Quick-firing pistols, foe-smiting railguns, exploding hot dogs and many other kinds of armaments can be used to wreak havoc around you.
