MEXICO CITY (AUGUST 24, 2011) — Today, Sm4rt Game Studios announced the creation of a new intellectual property called Botball, a cross-platform sportstactular competitive robot game that offers two similar but uniquely addictive experiences, Botball Adventure for fans of Facebook who enjoy casual gaming with their friends and Botball Online on PC for diehard gamers jonesing for a competitive fix. Coming fall 2011, Botball combines American football’s smash mouth strength with soccer’s precision passing and blazing speed, but intensifies the on the field action with robots armed to the gears with explosive artilleries and blastastic firepower.
In Botball, players (botmasters) draft a team of five independently designed modular robots (bots) from millions of different combinations. Each modular (mods) combination provides botmasters with unique bot attributes and skills that will influence strategy. Do you prefer to drop bombs on your opponents or to zoom past them with blazing speed? Are you a defensive minded botmaster or do you prefer a run-and-gun style of play? In Botball, the design of your team and strategy implemented is totally up to you, the botmaster.
“Botball is unlike anything out there. Botball Online’s competitive spirit, real time matches and sponsorship opportunities will excite professional and competitive gamers, while Botball Adventure mixes social features with causal gameplay,” said Gustavo Chapela, CEO of Sm4rt Game Studios. “We will make many announcements in the coming weeks, but one that we are most excited about deals with sponsorships for top botmasters. We guarantee a minimum of $40,000.00 US dollars in sponsorship money available for those few botmaster who triumphantly battle their way to the top spots on our global ranking system.”
For competitively driven botmasters needing the juice that comes from winning big, Botball will provide that extra kick by offering sponsorships to the best around.

Sm4rt Game Studios guarantees a minimum of $40,000.00 U.S. dollars will be available for the best of the best botmasters.
Open Beta
Before botmasters can get cracking on earning top spots, Sm4rt Game Studios will provide an exclusive opportunity for fans to participate in an Open Beta. Sm4rt Game Studios will use the Open Beta as a public forum to receive feedback on the game and start open dialogues with botmasters to get their honest opinions and recommendations. Throughout the Open Beta, Sm4rt Game Studios will release updates containing improvements to the game based solely on fan feedback. The Open Beta will launch Tuesday, the 30th of August.
Gameplay Features
Botball Online and Botball Adventure provide fans with identical experiences such as the creative ability to build bots from millions of possible mod combinations. Winning brings new containers filled with mods for botmasters to implement on their bots. In Botball, just like life, the victors do earn spoils, but there is hope for those who cannot win at first because botmasters can purchase or trade containers with other botmasters. Mods acts similarly to HGH in that they enhance power, speed and other key bot attributes that positively impact on the field performance. In addition, Botball fully supports cross-platform integration. Botmasters can share their team(s) and module collection seamlessly across platforms. Thanks to Botball, going both ways has never been this rewarding!
The variations between platforms are the differentiating factor for botmasters. Botball Adventure for Facebook is a 3D casual experience delivering social features such as ranking, rewards for making daily visits, and the ability to create a community by inviting friends to play. Botmasters can enjoy single player mode against AI opponents or competitive mode against friends and foes. The competitive mode is asynchronous with automotive gameplay. Botball Adventure offers a module workshop complete with blueprints to build unique mods as they progress through campaigns with the help of their friends.
Fans that have one gear will gravitate toward Botball Online for PC. Botball Online offers a competitive 3D arena for botmasters hungering for knock-down-drag-out real time skill based matches. Between matches, botmasters can invoke their inner fast and furious tuner mentality by tweaking, optimizing and enhancing their team(s) via the Advanced Garage Mode.
Fans can enjoy Botball’s tempting competitive pleasures for zero dollars and zero cents in US currency. For more information about Botball Online and the Open Beta as well as access to Botball Adventure, log on to www.Botballonline.com.
