About this game

A simultaneous puzzle where everyone stares at the same board trying to find the shortest path to move a robot to its target. Robots slide in straight lines until they hit a wall or another robot, and the challenge is finding a solution using the fewest moves. Call out your move count, start a timer, and watch everyone frantically search for better solutions. Not really a game but a competitive puzzle that creates electric moments when someone spots an elegant path nobody else saw.
