Description
Bibots is a top-down shooter rogue like with an emphasis on bullet hell action. Explore and clear areas full of monsters, unlock abilities, customize your character and save the world!
Play as Tayar, the crob explorer and the unexpected savior of his world, Takaful. Pick your guns, guts and go counter the plans of an evil mastermind. Tayar is not alone to accomplish this feat, chosen by a Bibot (actually luckily stumbled upon one) he gains the ability to transform into one of those ancient mechanical creatures. Each Bibot has his own strengths, try them all and pick your favourite according to your own playstyle.
Venture through mysterious temples in a colourful world full of characters to discover but also inhabited by dangerous monsters. The world is divided into regions, each with its own atmosphere to discover. The regions are procedurally generated and contain hand crafted battle rooms, treasures, merchants and secrets changing each time you play. Protect your home from vile enemies corrupting the fauna and threatening Takaful.
Choose the Bibot that will join Tayar in his epic journey, accumulate energy during your fights and use it to summon the devastating power of these mechanical beings. Each Bibot has its own playstyle and abilities, use them to fight your toughest enemies or save yourself from impossible situations. Learn to master them! The more you fight with the same Bibot, the more its synergy with Tayar will increase, unlocking new variants of its attacks to customize them before going into battle.
Equip Tayar with a variety of weapons which you can customize with chips that you will find while exploring or encountering merchants. Experiment and combine their effects to customize your playstyle and create the weapons of your dream with countless possibilities and powerful synergie.
Accumulate experience during your fights to improve Tayar's skills. Make it a survivalist, a soldier, a scientist or mix it all up. Each branch grants you access to permanent passives upgrading a wide range of skills and offering you new possibilities to enhance the synergy between Tayar and his Bibot.
Die, try and repeat to break your records… Or well, to save the world!

Ratings and Reviews
Fun But Buggy
I think this has potential to be great, but right now the bugs are really getting in the way. Three separate times I’ve been in the middle of a decent run and I get trapped in the inventory screen — clicking on the x to close the menu won’t register. There are also some smaller annoying ones, like the level up meter getting stuck on a loop until you can move to a new biome. Most frustratingly, there’s no save feature and leaving the app idle in the background for too long loses all progress. Autosaving or the ability to leave an app in the background is essential for a mobile game and it’s really disappointing to not see it here.
Fix the bugs and it will be a pretty solid Gungeon-clone! I wish there was more meta-progression between runs, as of now you can really only add modifiers to your Bibots attacks (essentially a mech-like “ultimate ability” kind of thing that you only use a few times each floor), and there’s no way to improve the pilots stats or start with different weapons etc. It feels pretty good though and there are some cool weapons, items and random room events.
Fix your bugs
Great gameplay and smooth control system. Found two bugs right at the beginning of the game. The game got stuck during tutorial after grabbing the poison chip and killing the enemies I the next room, nothing happened and the doors were closed. Had to replay from the beginning at that room, a level up was supposed to be triggered to teach the level up point system. After finishing the tutorial started one play through and when I was in the weapon menu to add a chip, the close button at the top right corner would no execute its intended action.
Needs better meta-progression
I strongly agree with the other reviewer’s note on lack of meta-progression. It really impacts the overall replayability.
Spending nearly 25 minutes on a well-equipped run to die and only be able to put progress gains towards the Bibot is frustrating. Particularly as the upgrade progress is incredibly slow, the gained benefits are marginal, there is a good alternative to summoning the Bibot (shield for fewer points), and unless you dedicate significant level-up points to the Bibot you only use it for a short amount of time in a level.
