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.

Xeodrifter puts you in the boots of an interstellar drifter stranded after a rogue asteroid shatters his warp core. Explore a cluster of four mysterious planets, uncover hidden energy signatures, and battle ancient guardians to gather the material needed for repairs.\nThe game blends classic pixel‑art platforming with fast‑paced shooting, offering a single‑player adventure that rewards exploration, secret hunting, and skillful combat. Its retro graphics and sci‑fi setting create a nostalgic yet fresh experience for indie fans.
