Overview
Description

Bad Bots is a retro‑style platform shooter that puts you in the shoes of Sam McRae, a grease mechanic who awakens from cryogenic sleep to find his cargo ship overrun by reprogrammed robots. Blast through waves of enemies, solve puzzles, and battle bosses while racing against a catastrophic collision course with Earth. Choose between a frantic 60‑second endless Challenge Mode or a story‑driven Campaign Mode packed with boss fights, puzzles, and a sci‑fi narrative that unfolds as you hack your way to survival.

In Freaking Meatbags you play a low‑level cleaning robot tasked with harvesting precious materials across bizarre, futuristic planets before the solar system explodes. Daytime is spent building bases, collecting resources, and directing clueless humans, while nightfall brings relentless waves of hostile wild robots to fight. Mix DNA to create super‑human workers with powers like laser‑eye attacks, and use strategic upgrades to keep your outpost alive. The game blends shooter action with base‑management strategy in a quirky indie sci‑fi setting.
