Programming Puzzler Algo Bot Hits Steam Today

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.

Check out the trailer of Algo Bot, featuring some gameplay footage:

“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.

Algo Bot is a unique futuristic adventure puzzle game, delivering a one-of-a-kind programming gameplay experience, teaching basic programming concepts in a fun and entertaining way.

Algo Bot’s features include:

A bittersweet story with two lovable heroes
Over 40 programming puzzles set in 5 unique environments
Easy to understand for beginners, but difficult enough for puzzle enthusiasts
Play with various programming concepts
Backtrack to already cleared levels to optimize your solutions
Stunning 3D graphics
The British Touch: we’ve teamed up with Epistory’s writer, Joseph J Clark, to give Algo Bot a light storyline with a touch of British humor

Algo Bot is available now on Steam for $9.99 USD in English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Polish and Italian and on sale for $8.99 on launch day.
