This update addresses a bunch of issues I've noticed since release. This should be a nice improvement for optimisers. More details in today's devblog. The translations have also improved thanks to the amazing contributors. All game translations are made by the community at big-ab-games/robo-instructus-translation. I've recently added all company message text there. If you're multilingual and want to help, please do!

Salvage Engineer, you have a new assignment on a distant world...

Robo Instructus is a puzzle game in which players manoeuvre a robot by issuing instructions via a simple programming language.

As players progress through the game they unlock new functions to overcome new puzzles, each of which can be solved in multiple ways. The more you master the robot, the more elegant and powerful your solutions will be.

Take the role of a Salvage Engineer sent across space. Use wits and tenacity to uncover the secrets of this isolated, frozen world.
