Build and optimize complex circuits to fix corrupted files and recover lost images.
Here's an excerpt from ABI-DOS's Steam description:
In ABI-DOS, you build circuits to manipulate and guide UBITS (colored digital blocks) toward specific goals based on the given documentation. By strategically placing wires and instruction blocks on a microchip, you manipulate inputs to achieve desired outputs—whether it’s fixing corrupted files, recovering damaged .png images, or simulating particle trajectories. ABI-DOS challenges you to meet strict specifications through inventive problem-solving.
No programming experience is required, as everything is explained in-game. The focus is on assembling logical solutions within space and operational constraints rather than on real-world programming concepts.
The puzzles are challenging and offer no predetermined solutions, allowing for multiple approaches. Each level starts with a blank canvas, giving you the freedom to create your own unique solution from scratch.
You are encouraged to optimize your algorithms, fostering creative exploration and friendly competition as you compare solutions with friends and on global leaderboards.
