Developer’s Description

Construct small robotic "rovers" that compete with one another in a variety of challenges.

MindRover is a 3D strategy and programming game. This is a game genre that encompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with the concept of player control--you get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles. You are a researcher on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. In your free time you reprogram "rovers" to race around the hallways, battle it out with mini lasers and rocket launchers, and find their way through mazes. Once you have chosen a challenge, equip your vehicle (hovercraft, wheeled, or treaded) with various sensors, movement components, and weapons. Then program the behavior of your vehicle in a graphical interface where you wire the components together and set their properties. Then let your rovers go in the arena and watch how they do.

I've been waiting for this for a LONG time.. if you're into brainbusters (you liked TIM for instance?) this is a definite go-go. no fancy graphics, just simple but sophisticated rover development, physics to logics

Many have longed for a game that truly challenges the mind. The demo seems just a tad short though.

you have to be really patient to play this thing. the demo doesn't really give you that much, and the things you want to do aren't there. unless you really like building fake machines, don't get it. the graphics and sounds alone aren't worth it. the sounds get annoying anyway. freezes once in a while.
It requires a memory of what you intended the rover to do

Summary
If you lose sight of what the rover was intended to do, you waste space on useless junk
