## What is Bibots?

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!

### 2/5 — Might not be for you.

*2023-10-11*

Graphics, music, play style is all great, but this game is too difficult for the casual player.

A free trial might be better, given it’s hard enough you can’t past the first chapter.

Controls can be laggy and hard to get used to.

Boss fight, you can hardly see where you are on the mobile device, especially when your thumbs are covering sections of the screen.

Add a difficulty adjustment, drop the shop prices or make more resources available.

This game is not for casual players, that’s for sure.

### 3/5 — 悪くは無いけど…

*2023-09-23*

昔からあるアクションSTGに、最近流行りの要素を幾つか足した様なゲームで、価格を考えると手堅い感じてなかなか面白いです。

ですが、タッチ操作だとかなり難しいです。せめてオートエイムは欲しい所。ゲームパッドを使えばかなり楽になりますが、こちらはキーコンフィグどころか操作説明も殆ど無いのが戸惑います。

また、最大の欠点は途中セーブが無い所。pcだとポーズ放置で何とでもなりますが、スマホだとそうはいきません。クリアまで1時間とか掛かるのにこれは厳しいです。何とかならないものでしょうか

### 4/5 — Bien mais court

*2023-09-17*

Beau jeu assez simple a prendre en main. Je l'ai quand même fini un peu vite je trouve. 
Il y a un oubli : les processeurs sont stockés en nombre limité et impossible de se débarrasser de ceux qui ne nous intéressent pas une fois l'objet dans son inventaire.

### 4/5 — 5 star game In the making

*2023-09-13*

Tons of fun future dungeon crawler,, but
There is no begway to save the progress on the game. Even though there are 3 save slots, there’s no way to load them

### 4/5 — Needs better meta-progression

*2023-09-08*

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.

### 1/5 — Below average

*2023-09-08, version 1.0.7*

Gunplay is good but the game lacks a lot of features such as a hub, a way to measure progress, enemy variety, gun variety, biome variety and more settings like mapping controls, autoaim. The way the game is right now you’d be better off playing soulknight or enter the gungeon.

### 3/5 — Shooters need to be fun

*2023-09-08, version 1.0.7*

MUST have decent gun to start. RESTART until get 10+ burst. Rooms are too small and too few pickups. Constantly teleporting Bosses in little room battle = playing 1x a day. Check out 90’s arcade shooter SMASH TV - make it mobile.

### 3/5 — Clunky

*2023-09-06, version 1.0.7*

Bad optimisation on latest devices. 
Gameplay not entertaining.
Deleted after the first 15 minutes.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2023-09-04, version 1.0.6*

So near, yet so far. I want to like this game, I really do, but as I’ve been unable to exit the equipment upgrade room for the second time today, I’ve given up. Don’t worry, you might be thinking, just exit the app and reload it as it’s bound to have saved your progress. You would think that and you’d be wrong. This game has no save. It is saveless. You exit the app and you start all over and begin to pray you score an epic weapon to help you beat the randomness of facing that first boss; but you don’t, and you die. Again. Or you get stuck in an equipment room. Again.

### 3/5 — Same as everyone else

*2023-09-04*

Keep getting to an amazing loadout I can actually win the whole level with then getting stuck in inventory because the exit from the inventory X won’t register and I have to shut down and restart. Comepletely game breaking. Will be asking for a refund
