A universe where you can play with amazing robots that are designed, built and even programmed by you.Basically you build a base and some exploring / fighting / utility machines and, among other possiblities, use one to explore an ocean while blasting stuff from space using another.
Everything is a robot, doors, roads, walls, bridges, safes, traps, turrets, surveillance systems, etc. Build forts, towers and architect impressive structures to protect your planets and resources. You may play solo or with friends to infiltrate, conquer planets and gather resources.
Traditional keyboards and mouse can be used along with midi devices, gamepads, iOS and Android devices; the point is, any device may be used as a controller. Create your own input setups and master your designs, whether it is controlling a huge robot or entire armies of relentless minions.
The Rawbots universe has a unique set of matter, energy and physics laws. These laws are engineered to serve up fun emergent gameplay that is different every time you play. Everything you would expect from a sandbox game and more. We are taking this to the next level with gameplay that truly emerges beyond imagination and defined contextually by the type of robots you build. On one planet you might experience a first person shooting experience, go into a space battle in 3rd person, and down into an RTS offensive on another planet.
An intuitive and streamlined graph system will bestow the power of visual programming into the hands of creative minds. Under the hood, the latest in signal processing, inverse kinematics and PID controllers, will breathe life into your creations. From geeks, to tinkers, to grinders, there is a creation path for everyone.
And while you are building and tinkering around, we will also be busy developing story campaigns, random missions, battle tournaments and creating new and impressive bot parts.
The Indie Game Magazine - “We’ve all wanted to build our own robot fighting machine at some point in our life; usually a lack of university level robotics education tends to get in the way. Well you can kiss that lame excuse goodbye when you get your hands on the robot building sandbox game, Rawbots.”
N4G - “This might be the coolest robot-fighting sandbox game I’ve ever seen... If Real Steel had a game that allowed you to build a robot that could take on any awesome form, it would be this game.”
EVGA Gaming - “Robot crafting? Whaaaa?! Sandbox? Get out! Build ‘em! Battle ‘em! We’re there! First, though, that crafting system looks like a doozy. Think that’s wild? Oh it gets nuttier than squirrel scat! You can even control your creations with an iPhone, iPad, gamepad or other remote media device. Sickness.”
Kotaku - “Drawing on inspiration from stuff like LEGO and Spore… So you can shoot stuff, yeah, but there's also more pedestrian pursuits you can cobble together as well.”
IndieGames.com - “Judging from the technical preview video that they just released, the creation process will be both simplistic yet detailed”
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - “The building system looks really interesting, and enormously complex. It’s certainly caught our eye.”
Press2Reset - “There are few children who haven’t at some point designed or imagined their dream robot, though it’s always been difficult to realize such a dream. However, developer Rogzo‘s upcoming Rawbots might be able to do just that.”

GreenlightQuote from: ~Fluffy descripteroo courtesy of GreenlightMagicmaker is an platformer-dungeon crawler where you create your own spells and adventure the way you want to!Basically a wizardry-based sandbox with emphasis on spell creation, where you are a wizard and also a security guard of a wizard school and you must do any random stuff people tell you. Oh and there's weird stuff happening around school. Go check that out.
As you adventure, you discover different materials that add unique effects to your spells and robes. Combine these effects to create all manner of spells. For instance, combining an Optic Lens (Laser) with a Fire Crystal (Fire) gives you a laser that lights enemies on fire. You can add a bunch of other stuff too, like Crystal Ball (Homing), Explosive Powder (AOE), and Rift Crystal (Teleport) to get crazy things like an exploding laser that seeks out enemies, lights them on fire, and teleports you around.
As the Security Guard of Dörwall Community College (The preeminent wizarding school of the Dörwall area) you must jump, shoot, and explore through five levels to assure the safety of your colleagues and to complete whatever random chores they assign you.
Oh, have I said "emphasis on spell creation"? I'm not joking -- there's a forgetton of materials and all of them do different things, you can even screw with how the spells look. You can also set a spell as "benign" and/or "enchantment". The first one makes your spell weak but destroys the mana costs (though you're better off using your wand), and the second one removes all damage but increases "yellow" effects (ie performance boosts).
Here's an outdated compendium that lists some of the items. Here's a much less outdated video of some spells in action.

I AM THE MERRIEST BASTARD AROUND
btw the character appearance customization is insanely deep, you guys really have to take a look.
