This is a hand draw puzzle game where a small interplanetary rover needs to be programmed to perform some maneuvers.

As in real life, it takes some time to send a message to Mars and the real time control is not possible.

The Player needs to think ahead, imagine the path, fight the wind direction and capture special dirt on the way to the target destination.

*Version notes: The main diference from jam version to current is: Volume faders on settings don't go -infinite because we open the menu, some sounds were replaced by new ones that were recorded in a gamedev/Foley studio session with high school kids and the rover do not disappear if no movements were preformed. Essentially, the web version now is exactly the same in features, game design and play as the original. If you play the original you may not even notice the diference.
