Meet Bolty

A evil genius robot with one dream: escape, rebuild his machine army, and take over the world. Bad news for him: you caught him. Now the only thing between Earth and robot domination is you, an arena full of hazards, and 120+ gloriously absurd weapons — bats, AK-47s, freeze rays, tesla guns, and screen-clearing mini-nukes. Every second he's on his feet, he's plotting his getaway — so smack, blast, and ragdoll him across hand-drawn arenas, rack up combos, and grow strong enough to crack all 10 tiers of his armor, from stock steel to a galaxy-forged Infinite shell. Saving the world never felt this good after a bad day — pure cartoon catharsis, right in your browser.

Features

  • 120+ weapons — melee, ranged & explosive, each upgradeable to Lv 10. Open the inventory bag to upgrade and swap out your loadout.
  • 20 Bolty tiers — Classic → Infinite; every tier is tougher and pays out more. Bolty gains more health and armor with each tier.
  • Skill Class + Cards builds — pick a playstyle (Brawler / Gunner / Demolition / Saboteur) and equip mod cards.
  • 10+ arenas — each with unique hazards and a map modifier (Lucky Drops, Scrap Magnet, Power Strike…). Unlock more maps by racking up KOs.
  • Power-weapon drops — legendary burst weapons rain down during hot-streak combos.
  • Combos, prestige rebirths & deep stats — chase your fastest KO and biggest hit. Prestige offers bonuses and rewards. (Rewards are still in development.)
  • Free & instant — no download, plays in the browser.

The plan

Down the road, Bolty will move to a demo / full-game model: the first third is free to play, and the full game is a one-time premium purchase — no monthly cost, no subscriptions. It stays fully offline, with no ads, ever, and you unlock content through gameplay or a single in-game currency. Right now, during Early Access, the game is completely free — you can play-test all content (even premium) while it's in development.

I'd love to bring Bolty to more platforms. It plays great with touch, so Android and iOS are coming soon (I'm testing on Android now), and I'd like to release on Steam with gamepad controls added.

Early Access — new maps & weapons coming soon. Rewards, skins, and some graphics/icons are still pending, and there will be bugs — please let me know in the comments. I'm happy to hear any feedback. Thanks!


A note from the dev

This has been a passion project. As a parent whose kids love this kind of game, I got tired of the ones stuffed with ads and paywalls but no real gameplay — so I set out to make something fair and genuinely fun instead. I'd love your feedback on shaping Bolty and making it better, and downloadable versions will follow if people are excited about it.

Got a weapon, map, or feature you'd love to see? Leave it in the comments. I'll also be adding more socials and ways to follow progress and ask about content updates.


A note on the fun. Bolty is a wind-up cartoon supervillain — knocking him out is saving the world, and it doubles as great stress relief (think whacking a pillow or popping bubble wrap). Nothing living is harmed, and no violence toward real people is intended or encouraged. It's all slapstick and springs. Be kind to real people and pets out there. 🤖💛
