About the game

Lay down four move cards, press EXECUTE, and watch your robot carry them out to the letter across conveyor belts, spinning gears, ice and lasers. One wrong card and it rolls straight off the edge. Get every card right and it is perfect.

Every level is built by hand around one idea, with a par to beat and three stars for a perfect run. When a puzzle has you stuck, a hint spells out the next card from where your robot stands.

Out on Steam on 22 October 2026. Wishlist it and Steam will tell you when it is out.
