Our take on Robo Instructus
The instruction-based puzzle format gives room for different solutions, but keeps the main activity centered on planning robot movements. Players looking for varied action or activities beyond programming puzzles may find that focus limiting.
What is Robo Instructus?
Robo Instructus is a puzzle game where players control a robot by giving it commands in a basic programming language.
The story follows a salvage engineer assigned to a remote planet covered in ice. Progress brings additional functions that can be used in later puzzles, and each challenge allows for more than one solution. Players work out how the robot should move and which commands to use while uncovering the mysteries of the isolated world.
