CHR$(143) version 1.28: new and improved building strategies!
This version introduces a fun new feature (which has been much requested...) Four new building strategies have been introduced. These are explained at the end of level 11, but if you have solved it already and don't want to solve it again, here are a few hints:

Version 1.28 has been released :-)
This version introduces a fun new feature (which has been much requested...) Four new building strategies have been introduced. These are explained at the end of level 11, but if you have solved it already and don't want to solve it again, here are a few hints:
- the 2 historical strategies ("upward" and "downward") are now completed by "leftward" and "rightward": nothing revolutionary, the agent builds in an imposed direction (and digs in the opposite direction beforehand): simple and stupid, but very predictable...
- the 5th strategy is "bestward": the agent chooses the best of the first 4 strategies according to what there is to build (which is often sufficient and relatively predictable)
- the 6th and last strategy is "smartward": this is by far the most advanced one, but it is much less predictable (even if perfectly deterministic) and, let's be humble, rarely as perfect as what one could do with one's own brain! However, you might get used to it (and it's a bit hard to give it up...)

Guiding a small group of "agents", you will gradually discover a Lost World, the seemingly simple graphics of which conceal its hidden complexity...
You will learn to move in it, to understand its physical properties, to accumulate sufficient stocks of materials, to build structures, machines and vehicles, to engineer various types of power plants to fullfill your growing needs for energy, and to search, sometimes even in the fog of war, for the enemy that your destiny requires you to defeat...
72 built-in levels + unlockable User Level Editor and (experimental) unlockable LAN Multiplayer Mode

@thePalindrome (itch.io): "An amazing game that's devilishly tough at times!"
@joey (Discord): "I am just surprised this game hasn't already been made! Like, it just seems like such a good combination of mechanic: the logic gates + physics + building machines... it's really good!"
@aoi (bay12forums): "This is... quite something. It feels kind of like something you'd see if Zachtronics worked from ZZT (...) if anybody does enjoy logic puzzles, definitely give this little guy a try"
@krakout (twitter): "Regardless of whether you're an #Amstrad #CPC fan, this is really lovely and polished!"
@jmk462 (reddit): "We need more of this!"
