Coding-Based Adventure Puzzle Game AlgoBot from Epistory Makers Out Now on Steam

independent game developer Fishing Cactus (Epistory – Typing Chronicles, 2016) announced today that Algo Bot, a pan-galactic coding-based adventure puzzle game is available on Steam for $9.99 USD.

In Algo Bot, players control the movements of a lovable but down-on-its-luck robot, using basic programming skills to solve puzzles. Set aboard the pan-galactic colonization ship Europa, over 46 levels, players must devise algorithms to carefully control Algo Bot’s path, borrowing concepts from the programming world – including variables and subroutines.

In the rich single-player story campaign, Algo Bot meets PAL, a cantankerous and aloof line manager, and Gemini, the cheerfully eccentric shipboard computer. When a routine recycling job goes horribly wrong, Algo Bot and this unlikely band of heroes must work together to save the sleeping colonists on board the Europa.
