Bye Bye Bad Bots

Welcome to the neon-soaked labyrinth. Bye Bye Bad Bots is an endless, twin-stick style retro arcade survival game with a twist: you must stand your ground to fire. Navigate a deadly, ever-shifting maze of glowing obstacles, blast through hordes of rogue geometry, and collect devastating weapon combos to rack up the ultimate high score!

🕹️ CONTROLS

• MOVE: W A S D
• SHOOT: ARROW KEYS or I J K L (Shooting locks your movement—plant your feet to unleash hell!)
• Note: Touching any glowing wall is instantly fatal. Watch your step!

💥 THE ARSENAL (Stackable Powerups)

Every so often, and only helped with gaining points, a new powerup drops into the arena. Grabbing them adds ammo to your inventory, and weapons can be stacked simultaneously for screen-clearing combos!

• 🟠 SPREAD: Fires a 3-way spread shot.
• 🟡 LASER: High-velocity beams that pierce straight through enemies.
• ⚪ 8-WAY: Blasts in all eight directions at once.
• 🟢 HOMING: Smart-bullets that curve to track down the nearest bot.
• 🔴 GRENADE: Explosive rounds that deal massive area-of-effect damage.
• 🔵 SHIELD: Absorbs one fatal hit. (These stack!)
• ⭐STAR: Grants 5 seconds of pure, unstoppable invincibility.

🤖 THE ROGUE GALLERY

The maze gets deadlier the deeper you go. New bot variants appear as you clear rooms:

• SQUARES (Room 1+): The standard grunts. Slow but relentless.
• CIRCLES (Room 5+): Phantoms that drift straight through solid walls.
• TRIANGLES (Room 10+): Snipers that fire high-speed lasers through obstacles.
• STARS (Room 20+): The ultimate threat. They ignore walls and shoot lasers.
• THE EVIL SMILE: Take too long in any room (15 seconds), and this unkillable nightmare spawns at the entrance to hunt you down. Do not linger.

🏆 SURVIVAL TIPS

• Clear the Room: Escaping through the Green Exit door grants 500 points, but if you completely wipe out every bot before leaving, you'll secure a massive 1,000 point bonus.
• Weapon Synergy: Mix Homing + 8-Way + Spread to fill the screen with tracking death.
• Opposite Spawn: When you exit a room, you will always appear on the logical opposite side of the next room. Plan your entry!
