Bot Land

Bot Land is now offline

As of October 22nd, 2020, Bot Land was taken offline completely. I was paying too much per month in infrastructure costs, and migrating would have incurred too many hours of both up-front work and maintenance work. The game is currently not available anywhere, nor do I have immediate plans to open-source the game.

Bot Land has been discontinued

I discontinued Bot Land as of February, 2020. The game is still online and playable. I removed real-money payments, so the game is 100% free.

Original introduction

Do you like strategy games? Are you a regular human who still hasn't figured out how to move at the speed of light? Then oh boy is Bot Land the game for you!

In Bot Land, all of your bots follow scripts (so you can snap your controller in half for all we care). You'll tell your bots how to perform actions ahead of time, that way they don't need a lousy human to control them mid-battle. This allows your bots to fight even while you're offline; they'll protect your CPU against other players' attacks.

Now, let's be honest... you're a great gamer—that's why you're reading this description—but even you might still lose a match or two. That's where replays come in handy. Maybe your opponent cloaked, bypassed your bots, and destroyed your CPU while your own bots were busy calculating prime numbers with a billion digits. You can use that information to improve for next time.

Then, after improving your defense, you can attack other players' CPUs in the same way. Maybe you've got a killer strategy involving LANDMINES or TELEPORTATION or OTHER BOLDED WORDS, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. You finally find the perfect chump on which to unleash this onslaught. They've got measly bots with and , so you teleport behind them, misquote a meme, and punch them in their shiny metal backs. You're the top dog-bot now.
