1. Jetpack is OP

Jetpack, in my opinion, is the best upgrade in the game. Allowing you to go by almost any other robot, with this and a bit of energy capacity, you can easily breeze through the first couple tiers of the game. It allows you to outmaneuver all enemies including pesky archers, and is a direct counter to hammer bots due to their slow swing speed.

2. The Swordsmen's Weakness

All swordsmen in the game will almost always die from this one, simple trick: Swing at their flanks. Try to outmaneuver the swordsmen you face by going sideways and using sideswipes, always keeping the enemy in view. By sideswiping and turning sideways as well, you also lengthen your swing. This even works against large groups of enemies and the mk3 and mk4 swordsmen, and is my favorite tactic to kill the swordsmen.

3. Do not disregard the Block Arrows Tree

The Block Arrows Tree may not seem a priority to finish, but the last upgrade is one of the best assets a player can have. Being able to deflect arrows back at targets easily eliminates most stationary archers, and is a good alternate if you yourself do not have a bow.

4. KILL IT WITH FIREEEEEEEEEEE!

Fire is also very useful, and I advise putting this upgrade on whatever your primary weapon is. If you do use fire, always get the second upgrade in the respective tree, as it makes the attack much deadlier. This upgrade turns any glancing blow into a deadly threat, and on a bow, is the easiest way to kill Spider-tron 6000s.

5. Combination Robots don't stand a chance

If anyone is having trouble with mk3 and mk4 combat archers, stop the hassle and transform them into swordsmen! Getting close to these bots will cause them to draw their sword, at which point kill them with part 2 of this guide. If you cannot kill them due to other robots breathing down your neck, stay at a moderate distance from them, as it often takes a bit of time before they take out their bow again.

6. Hammer Bots

To those who feel intimidated by the mk3 hammer bots or are chased down by the fire hammer bots, I have a solution! In an earlier post, as someone said, bows with fire arrows are these bots' weakness, but there is another way! Simply charge through their giant metal hull with your trusty laser sword and jetpack! (Fire upgrades here also help)! As you do, do not turn around to see if your blow killed them, and keep jetpacking until you are clear of their attack range, or us a jump pad (if available) to leap to safety. Then, look back, and they will either be in several pieces or severely damaged.

7. Spider-tron 6000

I have already stated this bot can be kill ed fire arrows between the eyes, but if you unfortunately do not have that upgrade, do not fear. He is a priority while he is undamaged, but wliminate the lesser bots once he is wounded. To do so, take you sword/hammer, and hack away at his giant, spidery legs until he is sufficiently unbalanced. He will be unable to fire at you, the player, effectively, and so the threat of bombs raining down on your face is severely diminished. Then, go kill the other robots and finish him at the end (Breathing flames at him is also fun)

8. The Demons of the Arena... The Jetpack Bots!

I will not lie, these are the toughest bots in this game. A good rule of thumb for these bots is: when in doubt, CHAAAARRRGE! These robots will tend to clump together, and at this point, an effective, but risky, move is to turn on your jetpack afterburners, and with your sword ablaze, charge right through those suckers. Since the bots tend to hold their sideswing, as they turn to strike you, they will often hit each other and soon friendly fire will have killed most of them. At this point. there will be only a few left, which you can dispatch with turning around them and striking them using the swordsmen tactic. os slicing their helpless bodies after kicking them into the dirt.

9. Style is cool!

Not an actual tactic, but it's always fun to look awesome. When on the Fire Island stage, don't slice up those robots, finish them with a kick into the lava and watch as their bodies melt! Only one robot left? Decimate his weak body with some flame-breathing death! ALWAYS go for a decapitation when you are able to, and body mutilation at the end of a fight is good too. Finally, show your savagery by destroying the garbage bots!

This guide is not an end-all-be-all, and not all of these tactics work for everyone. New tactics and suggestions are welcome, and I am not a pro yet, as my high score so far is only a 25. Fight on!

i'm trying to register to steam, using the code from here.

when i press the get a code it doesnt genarte a code, it direct me to the login page of steam and than they ask for user name which i dont have.

what to do?

Part one: Advantages, this is a good place to start if you want to get a good footing on your best offensive tactics

Sword: Arrows are inferior to block upgraded swords, and spears can be easily countered by flanking a spear-bot's left (your right), this even applies to Shield-Spear-bots. A side swing can also make mincemeat of most Sword robots, as long as they don't start boosting around.

Bow: Hammer-bots and Spear-bots can't block your arrows, and are good target practice. This is great for if you're having difficulty against high ranking Hammer-bots such as Mk3. The bow is also very useful for getting past armor, as many arrows in quick succession can both destroy armor, and get in enough damage to kill the robot. This weapon is also great for sniping robots with weakpoint areas, such as Flame Raptors or either Spidertron.

Hammer: The long range of the weapon can easily take down the Sword-bots, and is a good weapon for when you get close to Archer-bots, even the higher ranking ones. This weapon is also great against Jetpack-bots, provided your timing is well. This weapon is also great for Shield-Spear-bots, as hitting the shield will knock down the robot, leaving it wide open for a finishing arrow attack or spear jab.

Spear: Like the hammer, the spear's long range makes Swords inferior, and it also makes great work against other Spear-bots. It's averagely useful against Archer-bots too, so don't underestimate the spear's long ranged attack. It's precision is also great for getting past a Flame Raptor's tail whip, so make sure you don't miss your opportunity.

Part two: Disadvantages, this is where defensive tactics come into play

Sword: Don't try getting close with a high Mark Hammer-bot if your only weapon is a basic sword (unless you have a jetpack). Jetpack-bots can also fly by your tiny little attack with ease too, so make sure you have a larger radius weapon, such as the Hammer.

Bow: Swords and Shields can block your attacks, make sure you have a backup weapon for Sword-bots, and force the Shield-Spear-bots to leave them self open via their attack before trying to shoot them.

Hammer: Other hammers are still a threat to you, and you can't block arrows with this beefy weapon, so make sure you have something to counter these measures beforehand, when possible.

Spear: The thin attacks on this weapon can be risky against bigger robots, especially the bosses, and the shield won't keep you safe forever, so make sure you know when to block and strike, before your head pops off.

I hope this guide helps you guys survive long enough for help to arrive, or reach a high tier in endless or something. Either way, I gotta make preparations before the harvesting fleet arrives! Toodles!

Does anyone happen to have a picture of it?

http://imgur.com/a/nujwX

First, Is this approved by you? (I doubt it)

Second, How do you feel about this?

Third, Will you do something about it?

I am interested in your answers.

we've waited so long for this day, and our (my) persistent nagging has payed off! finally, FINALLY doborog has confirmed that macho garbage bots with mustaches will be added to the game in probably the next few months with the follow-up of last bot standing!

I got to level 38

Clone Drone In The Danger Zone use?

1. If garbage robots are just THAT impervious,

and 2. if it would be possible to expand upon modifying behavior based on removed limbs (like how currently robots hop on one leg if the other is removed)?

Also, I don't know why, exactly, but finally murdering a garbage bot was unbelievably satisfying. Seriously, those things take forever to break.

In case you missed it.

-Kick: Why, exactly? Because it's REALLY useful in Bronze up until Gold, when MK1 robots (Which cannot get up fast) are still common, it's still kind of useful in the late-game since it allows you to knock enemies down and take a breather.

-Block Arrows: It was, is, and will always be one of the most useful upgrades in the game, since it allows you to dodge arrows with less fear of being shot to death, yeah, DODGE arrows, in my opinion, Block Arrows can become a crutch if you overuse it.

-Clone: Simple, you're getting in Silver, MK2 robots and Spidertron 5000s are going to show up.

-Get up!: Get it as soon as you enter Silver, Spidertron bombs can be really punishing if your enemies get up faster than you do.

-Fire Sword: From this point on, robots will start dodging much more (Or, in case of the Hammer Enforcers, will be bigger), fire increases the PTK of a non-lethal blow, making it really good, also makes it so all arrows you block become fire arrows.

-Jetpack: It can really help getting you out of a sticky situation, or, if you're like me, you can get to the elevator much quicker, also, it basically removes the penalty of having one leg, since you can still speed around.

-Fire Sword II: REALLY useful, the same reasons above, but this time, it burns way faster.

-Kick Power: May seem useless, but, enemies are basically getting up before you can reach them, so let's just make sure they're far from ya. Also helps you on kicking Spidertrons, the single most satisfying thing to do in this game is to kick a Spidertron 6000 into lava, and watch it die in slowmotion using Photo Mode.

-Jetpack II: More speed, sounds good.

-All other upgrades: I don't really care about the next upgrades I pick, I absolutely despise the Bow, and the Hammer... meh, good for taking out MK3 Sword Fighters, and bash Spidertrons into oblivion. Energy Capacity and Recharge aren't really important, I don't use the Bow, as I said, and I basically just burst the Jetpack to get away from something.

Another main part of this strategy is to always have a Clone with you, unless you can't buy anymore, so you can return to action immediately, except on the first Bronze levels, where, at least for me, it's not too essential.

That being said, after having not played the game for a couple weeks, I just booted it up today and shortly thereafter beat the Raptor Insanity challenge in a single go. Immediately after seeing the Raptor's attacks in the first round, my first thought was "bow". I was not wrong, it seems, because the rest of the challenge was largely trivial; it appears the new enemy is entirely invalidated by range. Not only does it frequently "die" from a single arrow hit (presumably due to its large, long head and the arrow's penetrating capabilities), but it doesn't (that I've noticed) possess the side-to-side random motion of Mk3 units (specifically the Hammer Bots) that allow them at least some protection from sniping. At the same time, however, the bow seems to have precious little usefulness in normal play (being, in my opinion, thoroughly outclassed by the reliability, rapidity, and protection of the sword), so having a relatively dangerous enemy that's only effectively countered with it is a great incentive to use it.

Simultaneously, however, and this is just my opinion, I'd prefer it to be an intimidating opponent (its model and size just scream "I'm going to ruin your day"), rather than a relatively high-priority removable obstacle. A couple simple (not necessarily so to implement) methods of fixing this subjective issue would be to armor it so multiple arrows in the same location are required to down it (which would, I think, be pretty interesting), and/or alter its AI to make it more difficult to hit. What do you think?

Also if someone where to make a suggestion including custom made models how would you respond?

I've just started playing this awesome game and doing YouTube videos, if your into the level creator please please please send me links to your levels and I'll try them out on my YouTube channel :)

If you want to add a description of your design ideas behind your creation that would be really cool too.
Just add the links or names of your level to this thread and I'll go find them.

Here's the a link to my first YouTube video for clone drone

Thanks jay

Tell me If any of you guys are struggling as I am, and how you think the developers could make the game more flexible for our kind of skill sets.   

"This will be a fight to remember!"

(Name: Leticia Mccarthy)

Is this connected, somehow? I'm not sure if the 'guest' it's referring to is a human. It's not one of the game devs, either.

So seriously, what does that mean? Is it a friend of one of the devs, or?

Not sure if I'm being stupid.

(I probably am, just like a human)

(I've actually completed building the level but I've been playtesting it for about 4 hours now trying to beat it lol)

Watch and learn.

-Twitch Upgrades, Just like upgrade bot chose your upgrades in the challenge you could have the twitch chat choose upgrades for the player.

-1st Person Mode. TABS (And I'm not trying to compare the games) had a 1st person update and I know that others have probably requested it and it probably isn't what your final goal is for the game but it would be nice.

-"Evil" 3rd Chapter. I feel like the robots once you get to a certain point don't want you escaping so they "accidentally" leave the traps on and you have to get back with them on. Maybe even have the walkway that comes out from the lava miss some panels so that the player has to jump the gaps in order to get back.

-("Bug") If you die after you've killed all of the enemies (from either an arrow, a trap that hasn't reached its stopping point yet, or lava) then it will activate your clone (if you have one) and make you walk back out into the clear battlefield and then back down into the elevator.

Furthermore, stat boosts are something that would be nice. Being able to trade in upgrade points for stat points. eg 1 upgrade point would be 10 stat points. then stats could be randomized to similate different humans, or make them all starting identical to give the idea that all robot bodies are the same. Stats could be things like swing speed or movement speed.

Edit: Turns out you can do the first part if you just left click while in photo mode. woulda been nice if this was included in the instructions

eg. upgrade paths, strats
