About this game
Drag to drive. Let go to shoot. Survive the swarm.
Bolt Bots is a 3D arena shooter made for one thumb. You pilot a chunky little robot on a floating junkyard while waves of scrap mites, charging rams, laser turrets, shielded tanks, splitting goo blobs and buzzing drones close in. Your bot aims by itself, but it only fires when you stand still, so every second is a choice: run or shoot?
After every wave you pick 1 of 3 modules. Stack them, mix them and discover synergies: chain lightning on your orbit saws, explosive rounds that set enemies on fire, drones that fire twice as fast. No two runs play the same.
- Easy controls: drag anywhere to move, release to auto-fire
- 24 stacking modules and 8 secret synergy combos
- 6 enemy types plus elite variants that hit harder
- A boss every 5 waves: Crusher, Hive Queen, Laser Lord, Goo King and the Omega Core
- Collect XP gems and level up during the run for extra picks
- Smash crates for bolts and blow up barrels to clear the crowd
- 3 arenas with hazards: conveyor belts, erupting lava cracks and lightning pylons
- 4 bot chassis with different weapons: blaster, scatter gun, heavy cannon and zapper
- Permanent workshop upgrades bought with the bolts you earn
- Daily Arena: the same arena, bot and twist for every player, every day
- Chunky toon 3D, screen shake, sparks, slow-motion boss kills and a driving synth soundtrack
- Plays offline, no account needed
How far can your bot get? Beat your best wave, climb the boards and come back tomorrow for a new Daily Arena.
