Who it's for

Feld fans who want a more focused puzzle than his usual point-salad approach.

Not for you if…

You want a typical Feld game. The programming constraint is unusual for his designs.

About this game

Program a bot to perform actions in an underwater research station while managing your team of scientists. Each round, program your bot with two actions from a rotating set, then deploy scientists to labs to execute those programs. Octopods invade your labs, crystals need harvesting, and research stations require maintenance. The two-phase programming (program first, deploy later) creates a unique planning puzzle. A Stefan Feld design that trades his usual point-salad for a tighter, more focused action puzzle.
