Our take on Bots Are Stupid
The defining mechanic is indirect control: players write routines, then watch robots interpret those commands literally as they attempt each platforming stage.
What is Bots Are Stupid?
Bots Are Stupid is a 2D precision platformer in which robots act on written instructions rather than direct player control.
Players create routines with a simple programming language, then observe the bots attempting to reach level exits, sometimes dying when commands produce poor results. The campaign contains over 40 platforming levels with mechanics including grappling hooks, speed boosters, and conveyor belts. Objectives can involve completing stages quickly, allowing routines to be refined for speedrun leaderboards. An in-game level editor supports the creation and sharing of additional challenges. The game presents programming puzzles without requiring prior coding or technical knowledge, while the robots execute their instructions exactly as written.
