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 MagNets, players dive into Polarity City’s chaotic arenas, using Electromagnetic Nets to capture malfunctioning Bloxbots. Each captured bot can be recycled into useful tools that help you complete objectives and power up against relentless attacks. The game blends fast‑paced arcade action with a unique robot‑recycling mechanic, delivering a challenging single‑player experience on PC and Xbox One. With indie charm and strategic collect‑em‑up gameplay, MagNets offers endless replayability for action lovers.
