Thanks @doorless! I added more explicit instructions, hopefully they'll reduce confusion.
Nice work! The potential for complexity with just a few simple rules is fascinating.
Very nice puzzle game! But I think it is very hard to understand it at the begining, it can be frustrating for some players.
Great work though! Congrats!
nice game, a bit confusing, but something different
Nice! The game is surprisingly difficult.
Instructions are still not clear enough. Try to make it easy to skim and make the instructions shorter. Once I got it though very good.
Made perfect sense to me! Although my submission was also about programming bots =). Nice, clever, and simple. Having some kind of score or reason to actually go for "more complicated is better" would be good, like a "this level can be done in 16 moves", although that's probably true of all of the levels. Maybe scoring based on how many unique squares each bot covered would be good =). I'll admit I only made a complicated solution for one level, and it mostly required repeating (but shifting) the same 16 instructions for every bot, so it wasn't very interesting.
Nice puzzle. Quite hard though.
Ahh yes, trying to get them to infinite loop. It's tricky and hurt my brain!~ I could not get past level 3. I think I eventually got the game to break too because it stopped playing out the moves I was putting in. No errors in the console log though. :frowning:
Very confusing at the start but I like the puzzles. For some reason the bots stopped following my commands but I still liked it.
Great way to use the theme! The game is fun to play and has a lot of potential. The third level is excelente and it got me hooked. The instructions are clear, but an in-game tutorial will be much better. Nice work!
Nice introduction to programming. Not quite sure that aiming for maximum complexity is something to thrive for though :) Instead you should facilitate usage of symmetry and modularity (like rotating a sequence).
I like the idea! Sometimes charging doesn't seem to work, tho.

I kept running into a bug where it would become unresponsive
Great game, and great use of the theme! The game is complex and difficult, while still being very simple to control (a fantastic combination)!
The graphics are very simplistic, but work just fine. It's obvious that more time was spent improving the mechanics of the game over it's looks, and that clearly paid off.
