About the Game
Somewhere deep within the Europa, a massive pan-galactic colonization vessel, its slumbering crew peacefully dreams of the new lives awaiting them on the far reaches of the galaxy.
For Algo Bot, however, a hardworking service droid stationed on the junk deck, rest is a luxury that doesn't exist. When a seemingly ordinary recycling mission alongside the grumpy and difficult line manager PAL takes a catastrophic turn, the entire Europa is thrown into a dire crisis.
With the ship's AI offline and its critical systems failing, PAL and Algo Bot must race against time to set things right — because if they can't, nobody aboard the Europa will ever open their eyes again.
You step into the shoes of the operator, wielding a visual programming language to feed Algo Bot a series of precise commands. The question is: do you have what it takes to crack every puzzle standing in your way?

It's a good game. Puzzles are ok. Sometimes a bit annoying. And for sure you could improve the UI buy showing moves during the writing, not after etc. But all in all, buy it if you like programming puzzle games

Really had fun with the puzzles in this game. I was able to complete the game without help, but I really did have to use a guide to get just a handful of levels under par. Excellent game if you want to refine your

Algo Bot is fun for a little bit, but as a logical puzzle game, it misses the mark. The game tasks you with programming a robot to reach the end of the level, with limitations like hitting switches or uploading /
