About This Game

Carebotz is an arena shooter game spiced with metroidvania elements. You control BIBZ, a little maintenance droid. Collect the tons of blueprints, navigate the tight corridors, customize your toolset, learn to take advantage of gravity, upgrade, repair and encounter many different types of enemies! The journey is full of secrets, surprises. Discover the factory carefully as danger lurks everywhere, avoid deadly obstacles using your hover engine. The levels require investigation, and often patience and exploration are the key to survival.



Mastering the arsenal of weapons and upgrades is an important ingredient to win; only by experimenting with different combinations of weapons and tools will you prevail, and each offers a distinct style of play. Your collected valuables enable you to customize your toolset, making your craft more powerful and versatile.

As you progress, you will encounter many different types of enemies and careful management of your energy level is critical. With an average gameplay session of ~12-14 hours of fun, fans of the genre will instantly feel at home.

Welp...after messing around for 45+ minutes to get my controller working with this game, I find out it's not a twin-stick. QoL would greatly improve if we could move our ship in directions other than the direction we are facing, but you can't. Which means if you need to move just a tiny bit to the left you have to turn ur ship 90 degrees, throttle, and then turn back. Also, since it's low gravity and your ship doesnt have inertia dampeners or RCS (for some reason) you are constantly having to throttle on/off and rotate to stay where you want. This combined with trying to use the other buttons is pretty uncomfortable. Great concept for a game but sadly refunding.

Fun game but you have to enjoy high difficulty to get it. Also, the game isn't exactly a Metroidvania, but fans of open-ended, nonlinear exploration will like it, provided you also enjoy the thrust-based core gameplay. If you're casually into space shoot 'em ups and don't like "git gud" games, don't expect the Metroidvania stuff to carry the game for you. I'm not a huge fan of this genre so I can't say how it stacks up, but combat and movement are pretty slick. There's a lot of physics fun on display with stuff like being pushed back when shooting. Controls feel pretty smooth. Enemy variety is good and interesting, and you often face mobs that have interesting synergies. There's one enemy in particular that moves really fast and will drain your energy at close range that haunts my nightmares. There's some interesting lore hinted at as you travel. It's nothing major but enough to make me think the story is building up to something and more than these kind of games usually have. The ga...

Controls are horrible, both on game-pad and keyboard, they are also unexplained and unbindable so good luck figuring out how to move if you're trying to use the Keyboard, if there's a tutorial I never really found it, and the constant downward drift made it unplayable.

Clunky controls, non-existent settings, poor enemy design. It tries to use controls from a classic like Asteroid or thrust and fails at it. Moving feels like ass while enemies can swim through and weave at will. Barely any momentum maintained from boosting meaning trying to strafe is near impossible since stopping will immediately begin decelerating your speed to 0. Trying to aim your weapon is terrible because of this plus your weapon is off center which it even more of a poor experience. Moving it is very imprecise making large rotations for fine adjustments. Firing means you get pushed back but since your weapon is offset and your orientation/aiming indicator is useless for stupid reasons means the issue is exacerbated. Difficulty in this game means you are made of paper mache with a shield of cardboard and a thruster powered by fart. Early enemies just eat thru your shield while having a their own that tanks your shots and they are normally in groups. There are even enemies just a...

One of my friend showed me the trailer of this game and I was instatnly hooked on it! Still wasn't able to play with it too much, but it already fullfilled the hopes I had pre purchase! Sure, the game is challenging : it is easy to die in any way :D, but there's a decent upgrade options for items which also gives some hint for the upcoming challenges. Although it's not necessary, a controller is highly recommended for the best experience! The music and visuals are immersive!

This game is not particularly my style, but a friend recommended it to me, and I'm glad I've tried it out. Controlling your little bot is fun in itself, then later on the enemies and various obstacles spice it up enough so that I wanted to keep playing. The difficulty level is high, I have to admit, but I guess that was the developer's intention. I love the tracks I've heard so far, and when paired up with the sound effects, they create a unique atmosphere that I really like. Tinkering with the upgrades is a fun concept. Although I haven't had the chance to try all the weapons yet, there seems to be plenty of variety. All in all, I highly recommend it. A fun, unique indie game, well worth the price.

This is not bad at all, i miss the old lunar lander games, and this feels like a modern version of it but with plenty of guns as well. Flight controls are pretty nice with a low gravity so its not too hard to fly around. Cute little bot and great atmosphere. There is a lot to like here.

I was really excited when I first saw the trailer, because I hadn't played gravity-shooters since the C64 era. After the first 30 mins I can only say that I like flying around and discover the place... and it's easy to die:) Nice graphics and atmosphere. I can't wait to play more on the weekend.
