ABI-DOS: The Ultimate Automation Puzzle Challenge.

  • 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.

  • With over 50 puzzles and more than 50 hours of gameplay, ABI-DOS offers extensive content for players to delve into.

  • The work is overseen by the system's Admin, a mysterious figure who is not what he seems. Set in a retro-punk world, this enigmatic presence adds an extra layer of intrigue as you uncover the deeper mysteries of the system.

  • Drawing inspiration from Zach-like games, ABI-DOS pays homage to its predecessors while offering a fresh perspective on the assembly puzzle genre.
