Built For People Who Want To Break Robots

The public build is not live yet. The Discord is open now so early players can shape combat feel before the first waves go out.

Physics Hits

Weapon clashes, recoil, drive damage, and messy momentum are the heart of the combat target.

Multiplayer Fights

Custom rooms, match countdowns, free queue, ranked queue, and quick requeue are being built into the loop.

Robot Identity

Spinner, flipper, hammer, and control-style bot fantasy will need real players to test what feels fair.

Arena Chaos

Hazards, pits, pushers, ramps, and community map ideas are part of the long-term mayhem plan.

How The First Playtests Will Work

No fake polish, no mystery funnel. Join the Discord, pick the playtest role, and help decide what the first combat tests should prove before the 1,000-member weekend opens.

Step 1

Join The Discord

Pick roles for robot combat, physics destruction, builders, competitive play, or arena making.

Step 2

Choose Playtest Applicant

That role is the first signal for future test waves, build instructions, and focused feedback posts.

Step 3

Shape The Damage

Vote on weapons, argue about hazards, react to clips, and help find the moments worth building around.

What Would You Test First?

I can record clips or screenshots during tests. I can join voice during scheduled tests. I am okay with rough prototype builds, bugs, and focused feedback requests.
