Rescue robot allies, explore their stories, and uncover the fate of the legendary group of bots known as the Banner of the Spark.

“We got tired of building dark, gory games, so we formed FuzzyBot to make fun, vibrant worlds with a ton of action,” said Max Spielberg, FuzzyBot Co-Founder and Game Director. “We’re super proud to share the world of Lynked: Banner of the Spark with everyone! And honestly, we’re just excited we finally got to make a fishing minigame…”

Key Features:

• High-energy hack-and-slash action: Fight through roguelite inspired missions against the Combot threat. Get the edge on enemies with mid-run upgrades, or discover a new weapon to swap in-between! As you progress, unlock a deep arsenal of weapons, upgrades, and abilities with different classes that fits your play style.

• Build, gather, and craft to get stronger: Build your town by completing runs and enlisting the help of robot allies. In-town systems such as gathering, fishing, and farming provide resources to upgrade weapons, powers, and more.
