Design Circuits. Build Worlds. Watch Evolution Unfold.

Rawbugs is an innovative freeware simulation game that serves as a modern homage to the 1992 Atari ST classic, Robugs. This sandbox experience challenges you to engineer the behavior of autonomous micro-robots using authentic hand-wired logic rather than traditional scripting. By strategically placing logic gates, radars, thrusters, and weaponry on a modular grid, you create complex neural circuits that dictate how your robotic species survive, interact, and evolve in the wild.

Master the Mechanics of Artificial Life

In Rawbugs, there are no predefined campaigns or high-score chases; the simulation itself is the game. You are the architect of an unpredictable ecosystem where populations rise, hunt for resources, and engage in tactical combat. Whether you are building efficient foragers or aggressive combat units, the complexity of your logic circuits determines their success.

Key Features of Rawbugs

• Circuit Editor: Construct intricate robot brains using a robust set of logic components with integrated help documentation for every part.
• Advanced Arena Editor: Flex your creative muscles by terraforming custom landscapes, painting walls, distributing food sources, and defining unique species behaviors and death-match parameters.
• Real-Time Simulation: Maintain total control with the ability to pause, track specific units, or live-edit your robot logic while the arena simulation is running.
• Extensive Robot Library: Explore dozens of classic 1992-inspired robot prototypes along with modern additions like Bio3, Truce, Exhaust, and Gangsta variants.
• Seamless Sharing: Save your custom robot designs (.RB) and playfields (.PF) with full Steam Cloud support, allowing you to synchronize your experiments across your PC and Steam Deck.

Optimized for Linux and Steam Deck

Engineered for performance, Rawbugs features native support for Linux and SteamOS without the need for Proton. Whether you prefer a desktop mouse and keyboard setup or the versatility of the Steam Deck trackpads, the interface is designed for fluid navigation.
