Ratings and reviews

So, the tutorial is good, when creating a new ai, there is no "range", therefore you cant create your own ai. That was pretty disappointing and the game doesn't have a menu tutorial, which is also disappointing. Pretty much you can only use tutorial ai, so... pretty trash mechanics and game although the idea of it is interesting, just not this game in the least. Wouldn't recommend

I like the whole programming part of the game. Here are some suggestions to make it better. 1. Make bots able to move and shoot at same time. 2. Make certain bots do certain things (one bot can heal, one bot can have high shields, etc.) 3. Maybe you can add different modes to the game like capture the flag, or team death match. Hope you like these suggestions.

Gladiabots has, without a doubt, the best tutorial I've ever seen in any programming game or strategy game. It leaves room for you to make mistakes and learn from them in a very natural way rather than forcing you to click on the exact spot it wants like too many titles. And as a programmer, it has a very natural flow and intuitive UI that even someone who has never played before would be able to pick it up. If you like puzzles and strategy, you should definitely pick this up.

What's new

- The free demo now gives access to freeplay instead of ranked matches
- Fixed targeting a neutral base being considered as targeting an enemy base
- Fixed the rewind sound effect being played forever once triggered
- Fixed long AI names getting hidden by the UI in the team setup screen on mobile
- Fixed the mesh flickering when a bot is selected in the team setup scene (?)
