Robo Instructus
Write programs to guide a salvage robot through puzzles
In Robo Instructus you play a salvage engineer on a frozen, isolated world. You cannot move your robot with the arrow keys. Instead, you write short programs in a simple built-in language, and the robot runs them. As you progress you unlock new functions, such as loops, conditions and variables, for harder puzzles. Each puzzle can be solved in several ways.
