Actionauts is not a video game but a set of computer "toys" that can be played with in a wide variety of ways. There are no "rules of play" or "object of the game". Look at the figures and the grid as tools that can be used to build your own games. This is a program that you play with, not against. There is no high score, no bonus points.

Actionauts are a set of "building blocks" for creating your own videogames. The software consists of 8 figures which can be programmed to obey any instructions and a "gravity grid" for constructing game playfields. All games creations can be saved for later use or to play with friends.
