Bota is a idle desktop companion—a stick figure who lounges on your screen edges, mumbling context-aware observations keyed to the time and day. The entire appeal lies in casual discovery: occasionally glancing over to catch what he's muttering to himself. It's designed to be completely non-intrusive, a small dose of ambient personality for anyone who enjoys low-pressure, mood-setting background software.
About this game
A slacker stick figure named "Bota" moves into the window edges of your desktop. He loosely mutters to himself depending on the time of day and day of the week—peek in between tasks and enjoy. He won't get in your way. Sometimes he speaks up. That's all this app is.

It's cool, but let's be honest, we all want to see Alan Baker-style battles. I hope the developer makes a mode for fighting stickmen
We have made the following adjustments. - You can now set how often stick figures climb ladders, stairs, and ropes - Added "Records" to the control robot's menu, where you can check your progress toward achievements - Added an option to stop showing what the stick figures say - You can now "Bring back the control robot" with a single click from the system tray icon - Ladders and ropes now stay out of the way of your windows as much as possible - Addressed an issue where stick figures rarely jumped - Added new lines for the stick figures - Fixed a display issue on multi-monitor setups - Fixed an issue where stick figures sometimes couldn't be grabbed - Addressed an issue where a black window briefly appeared when closing Sill Sticks - Fixed an issue where the app became sluggish when left running without being signed in to Steam - Addressed other minor bugs and display issues
Thank you as always for taking such good care of our lazybones, Bota.We're happy to announce a new title in the Sill series: Sill Dogs.Sill Dogs is a mascot app that brings dogs onto your desktop. Dogs are pretty diligent, so they may be more loyal than Bota. The base app is free to download, so please give it a try.It may take a little while, but we're also working on letting Bota and friends and the dogs of Sill Dogs recognize each other, so please look forward to it.
Hello everyone,Thank you as always for playing Sill Sticks. We hope you'll keep looking after Bota, our resident slacker.With Tokyo Game Show right around the corner, development on this title has slowed down a little lately. We'll get an update out as soon as we can that reflects the feedback and requests posted on the discussion board, so please bear with us a little longer.Here is what we have planned in the near term:Fixing the issue where the stick figures rarely jumpAdding an option to turn speech bubbles and ladders on and offTuning things so that conversations between stick figures happen more oftenAdding more stick figure posesLetting the cats from Sill Cats play with the stick figuresLetting stick figures battle each other on the desktop (it will probably take quite a while, but we are planning to implement it)Sorry for keeping you waiting on all of this. Please keep sending your feedback and requests to the discussion board.
