Bish Bash Bots News

Hello Friends!

We're part of Steam's Tower Defense Fest, running now until August 5th!

To celebrate, enjoy a 25% discount throughout the festival. It's the perfect time to unleash your frustrations on those pesky bots and defend your EMP at all costs! Play solo or team up with up to 4 friends, both online and locally.

Don't miss the re-stream from our friends at Stumpt! If you're tired of watching the trailer, check out some real humans frantically bashing bots and protecting the EMP—all while staying friends. It's not as easy as it sounds!

Thank you to everyone for your support.

Happy bashing!

Join us in celebrating Firestoke's very first Publisher Sale on Steam with some scorching (sorry, we couldn't resist) discounts of up to 67%! This event features our entire catalogue including newly released gems like Hauntii. Whether you're into beautiful adventures, strategic tower defense, or fast-paced platforming, we've got you covered.

In addition to the games themselves, we're offering discounts on DLCs and Soundtracks, so you can enhance your gaming experience even further! Joy Spark - Initiated!

Featured Games on Sale:

Hauntii
A beguiling adventure where you uncover the secrets of an expansive and mysterious world, haunting both the environment and its denizens to craft ingenious solutions to the many challenges that await.

It's Only Money
The mayor of Rockhaven threw you down a hole into the Undercity. Why? Net worth too low. In this 1-4 player low-life simulation, emerge to the surface to steal from the rich, fight tycoons and reclaim the city block by block. Buy houses, businesses and whatever your materialistic heart desires!

Bish Bash Bots
Immerse yourself in a unique mix of casual tower defense strategy and all-out brawling action. Team up in couch co-op / online play or go it alone and fight to save the world by building upgradable turrets, unlocking gadgets, and bashing bots with giant hammers.

Falling Out
Experience a light-hearted roguelite platformer where you take control of an oddball couple on a holiday from hell. Work together as you navigate randomly generated temples, dodging traps, slaying enemies, and crafting weapons in an attempt to escape before the temple floods.

Planet Cube: Edge
Get ready for high-speed adventuring set in a hand-crafted pixel art world, filled with precision platforming and thrills. Planet Cube is being invaded, and it's up to you to run, gun, jump, and dash your way through an underwater science complex, collecting firepower to turn the tables on a mysterious aggressor.

Hello friends!

We will be live streaming Bish Bash Bots from 10am PT to help you (and us) get into the festive spirit - all whilst bashing a ton of bots!

A reminder that Bish Bash Bots supports Steam's 'Remote Play Together', meaning that if one person owns the game they can invite Steam friends to their match through the Steam overlay as if you were all playing locally. Just hit Shift + Tab and head to the Friends tab, then right-click on the people you want to join your game and invite them with Remote Play. That's all there is to it!

As 2023 draws to a close, we want to thank you for your continued support and wish everybody a safe and healthy festive season. See you in 2024!

Lots of love,
