It was unnecessary tedious to write commands for it.

This would be a great way to introduce people to coding!

very nicely done.

Nice, cool concept. Got a bit repetative though

It was quite tedious, especially with only the two commands. I did appreciate the concept though.

Write commands for last three levels was nightmare (but in a positive way) :D Good idea, good game

I really like the idea of teaching people coding this way! Clever idea. - Joey

Interesting idea. It was a bit annoying to type out each command with a fairly limited set, perhaps it could have benefited from visual scripting like placing blocks or linking nodes. Sounds were also slightly grating, something softer would have been easier to listen to repeatedly.

This is great for people interested in learning basic robotics or doing puzzles. Fun, but not really something I'd play for long.

The concept turned out to be more interesting than I first expected. Perhaps if there was a power constraint and recharge mechanic, it would be even better. I could see it presenting some interesting opportunities for optimization and trying to find the most efficient solution, ala TIS-100. As other have noted, typing is a bit redundant, and a set of clickable buttons might have been nicer.

Oh man, this reminds me of writing "turtle" back in the day (that's what it was called, right?).

I love me some algorithmic gameplay.

Nice Concept, could be a cool educational thing in a scratch style with a few extras to enhance the fun factor, probably more sound would help. I appreciated the fast forward button
