| 2024-03-24 |  | | I've done it, its more on c lang so i can easily answered it, it's easy when you know the language and know what kind of logic you need to use, over all its nice |
| 2023-09-14 |  | | I have played the game and it is great. The puzzles are awesome though challenging but it really sharpens your coding skill |
| 2023-02-15 |  | | Wow! Really good wow! Finished the game in about 1.5 hours, with full stars on each level. Would be nice if there where more levels and concepts to this game (for example calling a function with variables). Would also be nice if it was a bit more text based, rather then preset "function calls". People starting out coding will have lots of fun figuring out how to code efficiently. Experianced coders will at least burn an hour or two of great fun! |
| 2022-09-20 |  | | I love it but it's way too short. Hoping to see more levels introducing more concepts like maybe lists, case, or something. |
| 2021-07-21 |  | | It's very short, puzzles don't take much thought to figure out, and the UI needs some work. Otherwise it's a quick and charming game suited towards a very beginner audience. |
| 2021-06-19 |  | | The only complaint is it's too short. Needs a level editor and sharing mechanism so people can make their own stages, too. |
| 2021-02-04 |  | | The game is super fun and really well built, theres only 2 problems, 1 i wish there were more levels and 2 running a throw() then a pickup() command sequentially without a second box to pick up will cause the automaton to pick the box it had just thrown preventing from completing the throw command correctly |
| 2021-01-29 |  | | 3 stars on every level in about 6 hours with virtually no idea how anything works. Looks good, plays well, and keeps your focus. There were some challenging moments, but how else do you learn? I thought there was a bug, but I'm just literally an idiot. Helpful and fun, only a bit limited. Great work! Hope to see it grow beyond a few levels per concept, and certainly more concept coverage. Hopefully, I'll have nothing to learn from it by then lol |
| 2021-01-15 |  | | This game is amazing!! I don't know how to program and can barely wipe my own a**!!! Also iam not sure why but this is giving me mad Dan's Hands vibes.... not sure why.. Dan is so smooth. |
| 2020-12-13 |  | | generally very good, but needs three things to help children: 1 Does not tell you you can scroll down when it introduces more functions. 2 Doesn't teach that you can click on different lines to move the cursor. 3 Has a bug where if you throw a box and pick it up immediately, you will pick it up in the air resulting in a no-op (and doesn't tell you that's a thing). better than most but still needs some polish as an education game. 4 do is bugged. hope to update this review higher someday |
