Sam & MaRU

Sam & MaRU is a programming puzzle game in which you play Sam, a programmer in a robotics company’s automated maintenance department. You program maintenance robotic units, or MaRUs, to clean and maintain the factory.

The factory and Project Asimov

Sam uses the MaRUs to prepare old, unused sections of the factory for Project Asimov, a new, top-secret robotics project. The new robot is said to automate household chores, but Sam notices that its production is associated with an unusual amount of destruction.

Programming the MaRUs

You solve puzzles by programming the robots, starting with simple tasks such as moving a MaRU around a room. Later challenges involve using sensors to navigate unknown paths and exploiting security holes in other robots to put them to your own use. You do not need prior programming knowledge, while players with programming experience can take on extra challenges by finding different ways to complete each task.
