Absolutely! Big builds are currently most achievable with spikeballs only due to self-damaging bugs, but a fixed version will enhance the building mechanic by a LOT; feel free to look out for updates.
Multiplayer would be soooo much fun but also soooo much more work. Maybe we get around to some form of multiplayer.

I'll look forward to your updates then. :D
Multiplayer is a pain in the roomba to implement so I totally understand that it's single player only. (Honestly tho, I think your game concept would simply work great for bonking friends online and I do mean that as a compliment.) Proof: My boyfriend has been playing for a couple hours now. Yes, hours. He's started to build the ultimade war machine. So far, I can only describe it as a biblically accurate roomba.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you come up with the idea?
Hahaha great news! Feel free to post some screenshots in the comment section. I would love to see the effort! I would also love to break the Doombas of friends in the arena. Maybe some day, somehow.
The idea developed from a mix of
- "Skyscraper demolition game" for placing weapons (which was our second favorite idea)
- Broken robots going rogue/ breaking and building/repairing things from scrap pieces
- Faible for vampire survivor type games
-Lots of brainstorming and inspiration of other ideas.
I am honestly astonished how similar some of our ideas were to submitted games. Putt golf, angry birds katapult like, repair shop, godzilla city destroyer etc. but battle bot arena with building mechanic seemed the most fun to implement at that time.
Funny, the first thing I said when I saw the arena and the upgrading phase was that it has a Vampire Survivors vibe. Thanks for the elaborate answer btw! Really apreciate it.
And yeah, our team felt the same - our second idea was a robot that improves itself with scrap. I can't recall the name but someone made exactly that. :D
