All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Bots enjoy Halloween just as much as modern Homo Sapiens does. That is famously one trick Bots had to learn to pass their Turing Tests and graduate from Bot-School. They’re getting festive this time of year with crazy costumes and decorations all over the levels. They’ve long forgotten the reason for the season, as the agrarian calendar is a thing of the past, but the spirit of Autumn lives on. Get your Killbot friends together, crack open a foaming pack of Fromp, put some Biomass on the Grill and get ready for a party.

We’re combining this update with a Halloween Event, the costumes may not stick around forever, but the functions we’ve implemented will. We’ve added randomized accessories to give the bots more personality. This time around those accessories are themed for the season, but as more updates come they will evolve. Try all the bots, and see what costumes you can find.

Added:

  • Nurse
  • Angel
  • Demon
  • Witch
  • Wizard
  • Samurai
  • Frankenstein’s Monster
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Fairy Princess
  • Mummy
  • Pirates
  • Comandante
  • Knight
  • Ant


Changes:

  • Loot boxes are now Jack-o-lanterns
  • Exploding crates are Skulls
  • Optimized the lighting on each level
  • Baked lighting
  • Other general optimizations
  • Turrets don’t appear immediately at the beginning of the FrompTech Level
  • Removed tutorial instructor’s sniper rifle
  • Changed bots spawning in the tutorial
