Robot Wars: Draw Your Own War Machine, Then Fight With It
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Robot Wars?
First you draw your own war machine, then you fight an opponent with the thing you drew. The shape of your drawing decides how it moves and how it hits. A wide, balanced body survives; a thin one falls apart.
How to play
Draw the body of your machine in the empty area with a finger or the mouse, and the shape enters the game as a real physical object. When the drawing is done the fight starts: you click the screen to attack and your rival hits back. A broad, balanced machine takes more punishment, while a slim one moves quicker. Drop your rival's health to zero and you win the round and move to a new arena. Each round begins with a blank canvas again.

Tips
- Never draw too thin; a narrow body falls to pieces on the first hit.
- Give the lower half plenty of width, since staying upright is half the fight.
- Change your drawing style when the arena changes, because the same body does not perform everywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at drawing?
No. A tidy shape matters less than a balanced one with enough thickness.
Can I reuse the same machine?
You redraw it every round, so remembering the shape that worked is a real advantage.
