It has a fairly basic tutorial in the form of a hints box that delivers messages. You're given the first actions: "Hint: drag the mouse to look around, [B] creates a boulder at the cursor, [R] creates a robot, [A] absorbs objects for energy."

Thereafter, hints are given when you perform actions, e.g. on creating a boulder, you are told what you can do with it.



A random hint is shown at the start of every landscape. Press [F1] for another random hint at any time.

When you're an experienced player, you can turn off hints with [F4].
