About this game
Fight! And Fight Again!
Taking down the corporation is a big task, so if you fail, don’t worry, Wheat Willy has made plenty of spare mechs to reupload your AI to. With each attempt, you’ll pick up new skills and learn new things about the various enemies and gear along the path to victory. Chew your way through hordes of machines as you forge ahead towards the headquarters to finish this once and for all, no matter how much scrap you must make on your way.
Build Your Bot
Design your perfect killing machine as you pick between randomly dropped weapons, parts and upgrades throughout your run. No two runs are the same with each room dropping a random selection from a huge range of juicy loot for you to choose from to customize your mech along your warpath.
Ever Changing Dungeons
Every single playthrough offers unique rooms each with their own randomly selected objectives, carefully designed to challenge the player in unique and interesting ways. With room objectives, killing everything in sight might not always be needed, but it certainly never hurts!

This level will sport large play areas, which is a good starting point for newer players!Mini BossesEach level in Build A Bot will have a unique level boss AND a mini boss!!! Here is a sneak peak at the mini boss you will encounter in level two. The Deconstruction Unit is designed for decommissioning any bots that are malfunctioning or not up to Mega-Corps standards. Wielding a large wrecking ball on a retractable steel wire, this bot has taken out thousands of underperforming bots. A true test for players and Wheat Willy’s engineering :OMore More More LootIn this update we have added a new type of item to assist you, introducing player drones. These little guys will orbit around the player at set distances and assist the player or fight back. This update will add in four player drones:Gunner DroneShield DroneAsteroid DroneZap Drone Enemy VariantsOur original roster of enemies has gotten a huge shake up.
