How it feels

You carefully plan commands for a little robot tending to strange alien plants on an enigmatic space station, uncovering fragments of story as you solve turn-based puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the unique puzzle system where you program 9 moves but some are randomized, and you lock rows or columns to guarantee certain actions. The game is short with 15 levels, easy for most, and praised for its charming claymation art and relaxing music.
