«M.A.R.I. on Mars» — is a standalone continuation of the series of adventures of the resourceful robot.
This is a movement programming game, where players control the robot using certain commands. Each level is a separate map, and you need to move M.A.R.I. from the starting cell to the exit hatch using the available set of commands. All commands that you can use on each level are listed at the bottom of the level card. You will need to use these commands to program M.A.R.I.'s movements by correctly placing them in the command line. Remember that M.A.R.I. has a computer brain, and like in a computer program, all commands are executed in order, and they will be repeated each round recursively.
As you know, in the first game «M.A.R.I. and the Crazy Factory», the robot repaired its home factory, but that was just a test of its skills. The control center decided that it passed the exam and is now ready for its first mission — a flight to Mars. Its goal is to collect valuable crystals that can only be found on the distant Red Planet. But soon M.A.R.I. learns that this is not the only task ahead of it, and it is not the first to land on Mars.
In this mission, you will face 40 new unique levels of increasing difficulty. Play one command at a time to create a sequence of actions that will help M.A.R.I. progress to the next level. Plan each step of M.A.R.I. in advance, overcome obstacles, and master new commands and tasks as you progress. Help M.A.R.I. complete its mission and return to Earth successfully!
