Clone Drone in the Danger Zone News

Fixed: EUWest connection issue from this weekend!

One of our game server instances in the EUWest region got stuck in a bad state this weekend, causing attempts to connect to it to FAIL! We have now obliterated the bad server instance, and things should be back to normal. Sorry to anyone who had trouble connecting to matches this weekend!

Let us know if anyone continues to have trouble connecting to games -- you can always reach out to us directly at [email protected] and we'll figure out what's going on.

In the next couple of weeks we'll be putting out an update that further improves our server regions, and we'll make sure to add some more protection against issues like this should they arise. If you're interested in testing this new system out before we launch it, email us!

More updates to come!

New LBS levels picked from Workshop! Next theme is…



Thanks everyone who participated in our first Workshop Playtest event!
We played through a whooping 39 levels, and had a ton of fun!

Here are the 9 levels that will be added to the official Last Bot Standing rotation until the next playtest:

Abyss Realm (by hollowedcommander)


Hollowedcommander creates a visually striking experience in the darkness of the abyss!
Don't step across the red lines!

Pirate Battle! (by MrCoconut)


Calling all pirates!
Just kidding, pirates can't play multiplayer, or access this super fun level. :)
When the cannons fired I knew we needed to add it.

Mother Tree (by Enderspoons)


The atmosphere of Mother Tree is really cool!
You can practically feel the damp fog condensing on your metal face as you jump across its branches.

Green Plain Ruins (by Lionbreaker08)


It may look simple, but as soon as we tried it everyone had a ton of fun!
Cleverly framed upgrade drops make this level really entertaining.

Hall of Laser Tag (by VastLite)


Like a hall of mirrors that suddenly appears in an action film, the hall of laser tag takes you on a trip! The view from the upgrade boxes is great!

Forest in the Mountains (by Sir Kotok)


A cozy valley full of trees and ramps!
Jumping among the foliage is a lot of fun.

Space Arena (by BuH4eCTeP)


Experience the intense blue of the Space Arena!
A great place to die!

Space Royale (by Combat Robot)


Space Royale offers a cool take on the interior of a space ship!
A good warmup for Chapter 4. :)

The Molten Wheel (by BinaryPanic8347™)


There was something really cool about this level. The wheel feels solid and the fight for upgrade drops is fun!



There are of course a ton of other cool levels in the workshop that we didn't add this time around. You can find them under the Last Bot Standing tag in the workshop!


Next Playtest in two weeks: Glorious Light!

We're doing this again!!!
Next playtest takes place Fri Nov 30 at 10am PST

Theme: Glorious Light
We want to see glorious levels, that shine with light!
What exactly that means is up to you. :)

Participate simply by uploading your Last Bot Standing level to the workshop, and don't forget to check out our helpful guide if you haven't yet!



Edit: Small Update!

After our players quickly identified a number of issues with the new levels we've taken a pass at fixing some of them:
  • Forrest in the Mountains / Space Royale: Widened the final zone!
  • Mother tree: No longer makes you fall to your death on spawning.
  • Green Plain Ruins / Molten Wheel: Added a tasteful skybox!
  • All levels: Added author names to level previews!
  • Added back official levels to the mix since people missed them.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! This is the first time we've tried something like this, so still figuring out the best way to do it. :)

Playtest multiplayer workshop levels with us today!



Update: The event is now over, thanks everyone for joining!
