Description



Bots Are Stupid takes the 2D precision platformer genre and populates it with an infinite supply of stupid robots. Use the game’s simple programming language to teach them how to reach the exit, then watch as they follow your direct instructions, often dying in the process. With over 40 levels to command and conquer, there’s a substantial challenge for everyone.



All commands are designed to be as simple as possible, meaning you are not required to have any prior coding or tech knowledge to program the robots - the puzzles come from creating routines that complete certain level objectives quickly.



The game also features a sophisticated level editor, allowing players to create their own challenges which can be shared with the world. Show them how it’s done and then refine your routines to top the speedrun leaderboards.



  • Over 40 uniquely challenging platformer levels
  • Endless challenges and puzzles thanks to the game’s inbuilt level editor and level sharing
  • Levels feature additional mechanics such as grappling hook, speed boosters, conveyor belts and more
  • The bots follow your orders to the letter, no matter how stupid they are
  • Infinite supply of bots!

This game advertises itself as a "coding" and "logic" scrypting game that is supposed to make you practice problem solving in a rather simple environment. Instead what I've been doing while playing is painstakingly

I really wanted to like this game. The art is awesome. The music is catchy. The principle is catchy. I've taught programming. The programming aspect is off. Some people complain about the lack of sensors or the lack of

This isn't a programming game. It's a waiting game. Figuring out the solution to a level is easy. Figuring out the exact duration of time to wait before executing your next Jump is also easy -- but tedious. Just keep

This game isn't as much about programming, it's more about making a TAS (obviously simplified). Easy to understand, hard to master. The game isn't that long (yes my >150 hours is extremely excessive), but you can easily

There's nothing clever about the game, it's just trial and error. The only thing the game challenges is your willingness to go through the tedium of fine-tuning your command timings. Turns out, text command inputs don't

Very cool concept and I love the art. It just gets a bit old after a few levels, especially getting the timing right on the wait command. It just ended up becoming a cycle of running the script, it not working and
