About the Game
Brawlbots is an all vs. all battle game with simultaneous turns. Your goal is to knock out all the other players.
Bots Selection
Before the game starts, each player chooses the bot they will play. Consider the following when selecting a bot:
- A bot is defined by its health points, weight, and accuracy.
-
It comes with two default weapons: a simple jump and a medium-size missile. You can use these in every turn unless another bot's power-up affects it.
-
The bot also has two special weapons, which you can use only once in several turns. Tap on the weapon button to read a description of the weapon.
- Make sure to pay attention to the battle stage you're playing on and choose a bot that's best suited for it. Note: The battle stage is randomly selected.
After you have selected the bot you want to play with, press confirm.
Gameflow
When all the players have selected their bots, the battle begins. Everyone plays at the same time.
At the bottom-right side of the screen, you will see the control panel:
- Press one of the 4 weapon buttons to choose a weapon, shield, or jump. In some cases, you will see a second button. Pressing it will change the parameters of that weapon, shield, or jump.
- To aim, drag your finger across the screen. For weapons, you'll see the aim guide drawn with a dotted line. The higher the bot's accuracy, the longer the aim lines. For shields, you'll be able to see them in their deployed position.
- Press the Shoot button to confirm your choice. Once everyone has chosen, the action starts.
A random air strike may occur after a turn. Players will be notified of the strike before the turn starts so that they can seek shelter or continue their attacks accordingly.
Stay Alert: some maps contain teleporters. A greenish glow indicates the presence of teleporters. If a bot or a projectile passes through a green streak on either side of the map, it teleports to the other side. Also, when bots run out of health points, they self-destruct, damaging any nearby enemies.
After each turn, when a bot's health points reach zero, falls into the water, or gets out-of-bounds is eliminated from the game.
The winner is the last bot standing. If no bots remain, then all of the players who were eliminated in the previous round are declared winners.
Note: You can tap on a bot to see its settings.
Power-ups
During the game, power-ups will appear randomly. Try to collect them with your bots to use them to your advantage.

Poison vial
When your bot collides with another bot, it poisons the other bot. The poisoned bot will lose 10 health points per turn for the duration of its effects.
