I always had a soft spot for these robot coding games and this one is pretty neat. Simple to pick up and smooth to play. It also reacts pretty fast, unlike many other coding games.
Difficulty ramps up pretty fast but you can pick any level from the get go so it's easy to give all the mechanics a try.
Interesting coding robots games, I had some difficulty to find out what kind of move I needed to program starting at level 4 but I liked the game and you made a lot of levels to play around with ! Good job !
Nice sound effects!
This is pretty cool. I had a bit of trouble understanding what to do for puzzle 4, not sure what it is trying to teach. The exit seems out of reach even with the techniques taught in 2 and 3, so I assume there is some new trick I am just not understanding. Thankfully you let us skip and do other ones too. I liked how different the puzzles become once two robots are on the field. I'm usually really bad at these "minimal programming" games, but you kept me around with the sound effects, cute robots, and the speed of trying out a new solve. Nice one!
One minor critique I had was that I often forgot which robot was which name. Having the robot displayed by it's programming track would help if you wanted to improve things. It was also a little weird how we can drag and drop the arrows but cannot drag and drop to rearrange them in the program line itself. Both of these were really minor and I still had fun! Thanks for making this!
Interesting, sound and graphics are both nice, and the level is intriguing haha, nice job!
The subtleties of the jump command really make this game. Impressive.
LOL, as soon as I posted the above comment my brain suddenly solved number 4. That's a really clever one!
Nice take on the programming game!
Love the art style and the mechanics. Personally, I would of liked to be able to 'step' through the program. I found it to be a tad tricky to actually follow along and debug things once the little guys started moving.
wow, super clever and tricky, but also really satisfying to figure out. So well polished, this feels pretty much like a finished game! Well done!
Really great game, I had a ton of fun playing it though I wasn't able to figure out Sub the Jump and Big Square took me forever to figure out. The visuals are nice, it has a really nice retro look, though some of the spacing on the UI could be fixed. I also think I noticed a bug where if the zoom bot went in first it wouldn't stop beeping.
Interesting take on the theme! The animation and speed of the playback was pretty satisfying, but I echo concerns about the difficulty being fairly random. I also feel the subroutines were a bit underutilized, they were really cool!
I really like the concept of this game but I had a really hard time not just having the bot go in loops. I'm not sure what the trick is so most of my time was spent with trial and error trying to figure out levels past the first couple. I think some more tutorials might help a lot. I really like how all the levels are open at the beginning though!
Really cool concept, unfortunately i got stuck on level 7 ^^' It's nice to have all the level unlocked or to be able to test every characters separetly ! :)
