kind of cool that you have the gameplay itself is coding, though I feel like this keeps away many ppl from actually playing / enjoying the game

Always like the kinds of games where you play by programming, and this one pulls it off nicely, despite being so simple.
I like this take on the theme, good work.
I liked the game. I guess it's made for a small demographics but hey, us programmers need games for ourselves too. Cool concept.
interesting take on the theme!
This was pretty cool, although as a programmer I am biased. The puzzles were simple but well designed and paced. Only complaint is I wish the commands were shorter to type. Good job!
Good programming game ! I could be really fun with more polish and more commands
Hi. Always liked the idea of games where player programs, is a tricky thing to pull off. I would suggest simplifying the syntax... not sure whether "move" or "rotate" is necessary... maybe they could be optional at least ? A little bit of sound on each move would give a bit more personality to the robot. I finished all except last level, where I got bored measuring... Actually, perhaps a very pale grid would be useful
I may be biased, because I'm a programmer, but that was wicked fun. I couldn't get the last level under 5 instructions though. I felt like there was a more elegant solution, but alas I couldn't find it.
It took me a while to figure out that the level 8 was made of "rocks". Despite that I really like the idea but I think that this would be very hard to people who aren't familiar with programming (mainly the last level, the others are ok)
Thanks everyone, I had short time this weekend, I just could not put everything I wanted, but maybe after I'll improve some mechanics, graphics, audio and add the really difficult levels :D
Very unique gameplay.
There need to be more games like this. Hats off to you.
nice idea, would be cool if they were just draggable buttons or something. It requires some time to keep typing the same thing over and over.
