About PocketBots
In PocketBots you assemble a small toy battle robot from scavenged parts and take it into online arena duels against other players. Each limb works as part of your loadout, so the build you choose shapes how you fight and how you shoot.
The creator wanted a western take on Medabots-style robot battle games. It runs on Three.js in the browser, the creator used Codex, and it came 347th of 945 at Vibe Jam 2026. The scrappy toy-robot theme keeps the tone light.
Matches are quick duels where you shoot and maneuver against one opponent. Every fight pays out something toward your next upgrade, and swapping parts between rounds is the main way to change your playstyle, which gives the loop a steady build, battle, improve rhythm.
