The robots have studied the mankind archives for a long time and managed to learn that a portal of evil spirits will open on the last night of October. In order to prevent the catastrophe, they've replaced all the buildings in the city and their own robo-heads... with pumpkins.
While seeds are inside of their heads instead of microcircuits, you can take an advantage of the situation and hit them in the "pumpkins".
Hurry up! When the portal is closed, everything will get back to normal.
You can purchase the game with -40% discount during the week!
Horror update soon!
Hello, friends!
The most sinister and creepy holiday is coming to the town - and it's Halloween!
No chance in hell we are missing this holiday! Unfortunately, it is very hard to find a pumpkin in Russia this time of the year, and the hands of our designers and programmers are used to keyboards, not knives. So, it is easier for us to "code" a pumpkin, ehehːsteammockingː
Soon we will bring you a nice update, but until then - prepare your Jack-o'-lanterns!
Trick or treat!
Meet the hammer!
Hi guys,
A new update is here! What's new:
New weapon - hammer!
To celebrate "Thor: Ragnarok" upcoming release, we've prepared a new type of weapon for you - the Hammer!
It works like a real hammer - the larger the swing, the more powerful the blow;
The Hammer can be used not only as a melee weapon but also as a throwing one. At the same time, the stronger the swing, the farther and faster the Hammer will fly;
The Hammer can be charged up with lightning - just hold it over your head. The hit of a charged Hammer is pretty impressive;
What is more, it returns back to your hands like a boomerang, to wherever part of the city you've moved to.
Well, talk is cheap, better try it out yourself!ːsteamhappyː The Hammer can be used in "08", "Trurl" cities.
Robocitizen's improvements
Robocitizens are becoming more intelligent and more interesting to watch.
They've learned to run away from the player in panic;
Now you can knock robocitizens down using your weapon, fists or even debris of the buildings;
You can take any robocitizen by its hand or by its foot and cheerfully shake the poor fellow;
And how high do they fly when you hit them with a charged up Hammer.
Updated New York
3. RoboYork city is becoming more and more like a real robot city for real VRobots.
Stay tuned!

Hello dear friends! I have some secret information for you to tell. It's all about VRobot update :) So our game designer can't play VR anymore because he spent 2 weeks inside, but fine-tuning is finally done. So we preparing:
Big AI update. I can bet you'll unable to catch Robocitizen so easy as before.
New awesome weapon. Only thing can say that it is mindblowing.

Stay tuned, it'll be released very soon :)
Try Free Demo!
Hi, guys! Miss us? Yes, i feel a little bit guilty because there were no new posts there for a long time. But i have a good reason; we made a really good thing. So i glad to introduce you (ta-daaa!) the Free VRobot's Demo!
Yes, the free demo of VRobot is available now. Since now you get a possibility of first game experience without any payment and can suggest improvements to the final version of the game based on this experience.
The demo includes the one city that you can destroy by bare hands of using the Great Transformer’s Sword.
Why we did this? We think that players deserve the fair play and can take part in development. And for VR games the strategy 'try/buy” is better, because players couldn’t do justice to this games just after watching promo videos and screenshots. So, after playing the demo, every user can make size up and decide to buy our game or to suggest us some enhancement and after that to buy the full version of VRobot.
In the full version players can get:
- Different cities for destruction;
- The new weapon - Tornado Maker;
- The new weapon - Tractor Beam;
- Cunning flying opponents;
- Thrilling updates!
So, try the free demo, play VRobot, and save the planet!
P.S. Maybe, you noticed that VR market already made a huge step towards users. HTC Vive and Oculus reduced the price of helmets. And now it's a time for producers of the VR content to follow this trend and make their products more available for users. We've made this step too. And as John Lennon says, "come together, right now" :)
Cheers!
Rage against machines
Hi, guys!
Today my report is about one of your requests. A lot of you, players, want more interactive actions with evil tiny robots. Obviously, the situation that you can grab these robots and throw them into the ocean, not enough for you, but it's ok. VRobot team agrees with you, and today our programmer all day long made experiments on robots.
He twisted them, turned them, beat them with strange things, checking whether the impact of the blow was right. Of course, he was happy like a kid who finally got the candy. So, i think, you will get those options very soon. Maybe, there will be even a possibility to tear off arms and legs of those evil robots. Let's give it hot and strong, earthlings!
See you, cheers!
How to move the New York City
Hi, guys!
I continue my anthropological observations of the VRobot team. Previous days i saw how game designer decided that he is an architect. The problem was that Big Black Hole absorbing buildings debris is little bit leftie in the NYC, and therefore the fragments flying in the sky, touch entire buildings around. A typical problem with all lefties, you know.
However, the black hole was "nailed" to its place, so had to move New York. At first, everything was good. But then it turned out that some buildings and structures in the city are also "nailed down," and this was done by a programmer who now has a good time on vacation. So, as a result, it turned out that in New York, residential buildings and office buildings separately on the one part of the city, and roads on which cars move - separately on the other. City planning level God!
Looking for that i advised the designer to stop developing games and go to work in the City Hall of New York, even Robert Moses could not do this to this city.
That's all for today, folk, cheers!
Summer holidays
Hi, guys!
I try to follow the schedule and inform you about VRobot team, but now there is a summer vacation time, and even indie developers (who are maniacs of work) want to have some rest. Our senior programmer Anton all previous week tried to train tiny evil robots in the game for their better behavior. But now Anton is having fun in Vienna, and i am afraid that robots are completely out of hand.
And I suspect that such bad manners of robots can explain today's behavior of our game of designer Denis, whom I found lying on the floor in the VR helmet. Apparently, he was trying to collect these malicious metal kids and tidy them up. He told me something about checking new textures, but we know! Hope Anton will return soon and you, guys, will get new robots with funny and meaningful behavior.
So, cheers, see you later!
Ideas: dispute of the desired and actual
Hi, guys!
Today I managed to catch the VRobot's game designer Denis and ask him what he thinks about the ideas offered here by @moonracer. That's what he answered me, check it out!
About sounds everything is true, and the team is going to improve that.
About smoke, fire and other tiny details. It would be cool, of course, but those details affect the performance. It's tough to maintain the high level of FPS and do not overload the system. So, we try to find a balance.
About the size of buildings that you can pick up. We think that possibility of grasping a skyscraper and throwing it is more funnier. VRobot is about fun, not about credibility.
About energy bar and a possibility of charging. That's a cool idea, we are thinking about something like that to make the gameplay more competitive.
About Coop&PVP. That's our dream, but let be honest - it's a costly thing for VR. And we are just an indie studio. We hope that VRobot will be bought well enough, and we will have a possibility to realize that in the game.
About robots. Yep, you guess the way of our work; we are already working on it, and robots will be able to do a lot of funny stuff, not just run in panic.
He answered and went away to invent new genius ideas for VRobot, so you can be sure, he is thinking about your ideas all the time.
Cheers!
Summer Sale hustle
The first weekend of Summer Sale was gone, and VRobot Team begins to react to the user's feedback. What do normal people usually do? They are happy because of positive feedback. What do developers do? They take out a shamanic tambourine and begin to dance around bug reports.
Thanks to user Ironbug : The Anarchist Hero, your bug report baffled game designer Denis, he spent all Monday in tries to find out what the hell is going on, and what could go wrong with the sound in the game. It looked very cool, so please, you are always welcome to continue creating new challenges for him! "Only a game designer can test a game and find out the problem', Denis said and who i am not to trust him?
Also, lead programmer Anton tries to train and tame small malignant robot, who in his opinion are very stupid now. I think that maybe it's worth convincing him that making the robots smarter is a slippery slope. As you remember, a synopsis of VRobot is about the situation, when robots became more clever than people and kicked people from the planet. Oh, maybe, that's his plan???? I think that's a moment for me to shut up.
So, guys, thank you all for your comments and reports, it makes my life much funnier, keep up the good work! With your help, this team really can make a nice game.
