Salvage Bots

You never leave town. You're the operator — the thing that goes out is a bot you build at the workshop from scrap 🔩 and components ⚙️ banked in town. Send it into a ruined factory, office building, or bunker, haul back what it finds, and turn the haul into better bots — and into repairs for the town itself.

The exit door in every site is always open — walk up and press E (or tap EXTRACT) whenever you want out. Nothing is banked until you extract. The site's Power Cell is the prize, not a key: a component worth real components, hidden in a dead-end branch. Grab it for the haul and an in-run overcharge — or leave it and just get out alive.

🤖 Bots are wagers
Unlocks are blueprints you keep forever. Installing one on a bot costs resources, every build, every time. Best gear makes a run easier — and a death much more expensive. Going out cheap protects your bank.
♻️ Death leaves a wreck
A dead bot stays where it fell — on the ground under where it died, or by the pit it fell into — holding a portion of its installed parts and its haul. Roll out in a new bot and recover it. Wrecks accumulate, and every new death decays all older wrecks, so the pile caps itself.
🏭 Sites remember you
A site keeps the same layout while its component or a wreck is still out there — you learn the route back to your wreck. Once a site is stripped clean, it closes and a fresh random site takes its place.
🎯 Auto-fire, real map
Your blaster aims and fires by itself, in town and in sites — at where the enemy was when the shot fired, so fast enemies genuinely dodge it. It prefers enemies it has a clear shot at — if the nearest enemy is behind a wall but another is in the open, it shoots the open one (aiming at whatever part of it is exposed). Only when nothing in range has a clear shot does it fall back to the nearest enemy anyway and fire at it through the wall — a wall may not always stay between you and a shot. Default move-and-fire is Accuracy: firing while moving scatters shots inside the amber cone drawn from your gun — slow down or stand still to shoot straight (mode & cone angle live in the 🧪 menu). Double jump is standard kit. The map (top-right, or M) shows the site as a place — and marks your wrecks ♻ once their section is explored. Sections start fogged: you can make out floors and platforms through the dark, but not what's waiting — a section's defenders only power up, with a brief orange materialise, when you first step in, so nothing can be sniped from a room you haven't entered.
⛏ Zones are chains of maps
A zone is 3 maps. Each map has a battle room ⚔️ (doors seal until you clear the fabricator waves), a branch with a fabricator, and a crowned miniboss 👹 — its door is inert while it lives and opens on its death: onward to the next map, or, on the last map, zone complete. Each map also has an extraction exit by its entry: bank the haul and end the run, or push deeper. Miniboss kills and branch fabricator kills pay a 1-of-3 mod choice (+projectile, chain, piercing, homing, bounce — stacking, in-run only, carrying across map doors; reroll from the haul). Kills also pay XP toward automatic small boosts (spawner-born bots pay none). All kill loot is physical: it lands on the ground where things died and joins the haul only when you pick it up. Check what you're carrying any time with the 🎒 button or I. Your jumps are a single budget of 2 per airborne stint: jumping off the ground spends one (leaving the classic double jump), but walking off a ledge, dropping through one, or getting knocked off spends none — both jumps are still yours in the air — and landing refills the budget. In Accuracy mode, jumping and falling widen your spread cone, and a multi-projectile volley fans wider with it, over a standing base spread that never collapses. Your shots fly until they hit something — a wall, their last pierced enemy, or the edge of the map.

A D / ← → move  •  Space / W jump, tap again mid-air to double-jump  •  Hold S / ↓ on a thin teal ledge to drop through it  •  E extract at an exit door / open the workshop in town  •  On touch: drag on the left half — the joystick appears under your thumb — pull it down to drop through a thin ledge, and tap JUMP on the right. In town there's no jumping — that same button (or Space) is a hop: a short hop clean over rocks, trees and slimes.

Touch: drag on the left half — the joystick appears under your thumb — pull it down to drop through thin teal ledges, tap JUMP on the right (HOP in town — over rocks, trees & slimes), and tap EXTRACT at an exit door. Keyboard: A D move, Space jump ×2 = double jump, hold S to drop through, E to extract / use the workshop.

Enemies flash and get knocked back when hit. Turrets shoot back — use room walls as cover. Watch for fabricators 🏭: machines still building bots — their bots drop nothing, but destroying the machine pays its unspent stock (kill it fast, it pays more; even spent, the husk is worth scrap). Finding it too easy (or too hard)? The 🧪 menu up top tunes your gun (fire rate, damage, knockback, stun), enemy hull/damage/speed, fabricators, and how many of each type spawn.
