Handcrafted with love by sci-fi enthusiasts, Carebotz blends classic Asteroids® with Metroidvania® to offer a tactical, non-ordinary gravity-shooter, featuring an unusual hero of the day! Carebotz, five years in the making, marks the debut game by the studio and is available today with a launch discount via STEAM.

Game Trailer:

Carebotz is a single-player game featuring Bibz, a maintenance droid and protagonist on a mission to save a derelict factory from destruction. To accomplish this, you must advance carefully as danger lurks everywhere; the factory is full of secrets, surprises and unknown technologies. Navigate the tight corridors, avoid deadly obstacles using your hover engine, and learn to take advantage of gravity. The cleverly designed levels require investigation, and often patience and exploration are the key to survival. As a humble maintenance droid, your daily tasks might appear mundane, but when the main computer awakes from hibernation, nothing is what it seems! You will quickly find yourself with mission objectives to eradicate the hostiles of unknown origin from the factory!

Carebotz is a 2.5D side-scroller game catering to multiple styles of play with many different paths to take. As you progress, you will encounter many different types of enemies and careful management of your energy level is critical. With an average gameplay session of 6-8 hours of fun, fans of the genre will instantly feel at home. Mastering the arsenal of weapons and upgrades is an important ingredient to win; only by experimenting with different combinations of weapons and tools will you prevail, and each offer a distinct style of play. Your collected valuables enable you to customize your toolset, making your craft more powerful and versatile.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

Published

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely

Matt Zamroźniak

Chief Executive Officer

Prime Skill Games Inc.
