SO fun the style is beautiful the robots are deadly cute ha it's so fun to counter the mechanics of enemy and the fact that you can bet ob other robots? Amazing

THIS IS PEAK

It’s got strong *Cats* vibes, but with combat robots. I played through the game controlling the bot myself, but honestly, it’s way more interesting when you leave it to a cute girl—who, despite having the entire U.S. arsenal at her disposal, is terrified of a little bush on wheels :3

Oh, and the betting mechanic is a fun touch. Though, in one match, things dragged on until the very end because the most powerful robot was afraid of an unarmed one )

Loved it. It's crazy how many mechanics you managed to pack there. My only problem with this game is that I grew too attached to my little robots, so it makes me sad when they get absolutely destroyed at the arena. Also, maybe I missed it, but there probably should be some indication that the walls will eventually start moving. When my robot and my opponent's robot got stuck the first time, it lasted long enough for me to think I might be softlocked. I decided to trust there's some kind of system against this, because the game feels super polished in every other aspect (and there was!), but it would have been nice to have that reassurance.

CATS with robots! That is soooo cool. I adore you game!

The art is great, and the music creates such a depressing mood - loved it! My robots kept running away instead of fighting - at first, I thought it was a bug, but it actually adds to the atmosphere :)

The betting mechanic is a cool idea! I also thought it'd be cool to watch other people's fights in fast-forward, with slow-mo only for the big hits.

Геймдизайн этой игры стар как мир, но все сделано на очень должном уровне. Особенно понравилось, что можно ставку ставить на кого-то. В целом игра - кайф

На изи всех размотал за агрессивного

I’m absolutely thrilled with the game—a game about robot battles has been a childhood dream of mine! Sometimes the fights drag on a bit, so it would be great to have an option to speed things up (either automatically or manually). Also, it would be cool if the opponent went flying when defeated. Great work!

Really fun especially with selfaware personality, completed the bracket. Many space for experiment and variety. Cool

The gameplay reminds me of CATS. I really like the art style, and the controls feel great. Some matches run a little too long, though.

Very fun game. I really enjoyed playing. I'd definitely buy this if it were a full game.

The combination of building a quirky machine and giving it a distinct personality is such a clever touch. Watching the physics chaos unfold while a bot is motivated by its weird internal USB drive makes the whole experience so much fun. Great job pulling all these unique elements together!

It was literally the pure fun.

segtree 2026-10-21 06:48 ♥ 1

I love this game. It's fun and have cool graphics.

filgreen3 2026-10-21 08:26 ♥ 1

The game I always wanted to make! The only nitpick is that I have to press battle again to get scrap, or maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, I'm having a great time playing it!

ii-p 2026-10-21 10:06 ♥ 1

Can I digitize my personality and plug it into the robot? Please, add this feature in future updates!

tykki19 2026-10-21 19:36 ♥ 1

Great style and seems like a full game what comes to game structure. I recall watching those robot battles from TV and it was even more exciting with own robot! Maybe more spots to tie in more stuff. Very good entry!

Pushka! Remindes me of my favorite flash games from the past. Really liked the option to bet on other robots, sort of builds the anticipation to meet them later. Cant say anything about graphics, other than gorgeous. Very nice.

Really polished presentation, and the art and UI have a great gritty feel. Awesome job for a jam!

indiepanda 2026-10-23 16:16 ♥ 1

A really cool game! Great art and rugged combat robots. Unfortunately, I lost the final battle.

Wow what a beautiful and smooth game. I really want to play more. Check my robot that crushed them all.

I just wish I could change the robot personality on the fly though, because what items I get influence what I want the robot to behave like. In the end I chose the self-aware one and then it was easy.

Otherwise great game though. I cant believe this is a gamejam entry. Crazy polished art and interface

kedikat 2026-10-24 15:13 ♥ 1

Very fun! Really polished and I love how intuitive everything is.

Brilliant physics auto battler with great pixel art and fun tournament betting. The build UI has too much empty space and the combat balance feels way too easy. Overall an incredible jam entry, great job!

This is such a fun and interesting game! I could easily spend ages playing it! Great work!
