Deus Ex Machina

🔚 Deus Ex Machina is a puzzle-platformer where you play as the "god in the machine", drawing and manipulating arrows to guide a robot through treacherous industrial levels.

Guide the machine. Become the god.

The game features a robot/player character that auto-walks through levels, and you must strategically place directional arrows (with limited resources) to navigate spikes, gaps, and obstacles.

The title plays on the Latin phrase deus ex machina—literally "god from the machine"—referencing both the player's omniscient role in manipulating the game world and the industrial/robotic theme.
