About the Game
Deep inside the Europa, a pan-galactic colonization ship, the sleeping crew dreams about their new life on the far side of the galaxy.
But there can be no rest for Algo Bot, a service droid working on the junk deck. When a routine recycling mission with cantankerous line manager PAL goes horribly wrong, crisis strikes at the very heart of the Europa.
Unless PAL and Algo Bot can restore the Europa's systems and recover the shipboard AI quickly, there'll be no waking up for anyone.
As the player, you will take the role of the operator and use a visual programming language to issue a sequence of commands to Algo Bot. Will you manage to solve all the puzzles?

Algo Bot is the ultimate "I’m actually a genius—wait, no I’m not" simulator. It’s a brilliant puzzle game that tricks you into learning computer science logic by letting you play with a cute robot. Perfect for anyone who wants the thrill of programming without the six-figure salary or the free office snacks.
