Botics

Botics is a futuristic sports-themed variation on Pong from Krisalis Software Ltd. Players control remote-controlled robots and compete against five opponents by reflecting a bouncing ball into the opposing opening.

Gameplay

Each match takes place across five connected areas. Scoring moves the action to a neighboring area, with the direction determined by which side scores. A player must reach a required number of scores to win the match.

Some areas feature obstacles across the middle of the room. Robots can also be charged to return the ball with greater speed and power, although charging for too long causes the robot to explode.
