Amazing! Very challenging!
I remember playing the first game a long time ago; I don't recall much though.
This game is definitely amazing, though. It's like programming in a sense, and yet so completely different. With such limited number of commands and inflexibility of control statements, you have to create some really clever, hyper-efficient (or hyper-flexible) programs to solve these levels; thinking inside the box really gets you nowhere.
It's sometimes a little TOO challenging though ... =P Maybe I just need to concentrate a bit more and get used to the thought processes.
My only criticism for now is that the turn icons keep confusing me, because they go through a full 180-degree, so the arrowhead is pointing in a direction that's opposite of intuitive to me...
Very complex
So complex i gave up at the 3rd level XD

Pretty good
Its pretty dang fun. Dunno how the first portal level was hard, but puzzle games aren't for everyone lol.
There's way more here than there was in the first game, but I think the added complexity demands a better QoL experience for the player. For instance, the break feature which is introduced for recursion is explained poorly. I couldn't understand why I kept hitting code after my break statement when it triggered. It wasn't clear that you have to use the light command to make the ROBOT a certain color before calling a conditional on it.
It would be nice if the player was able to see the call stack, as well as set breakpoints to pause mid-execution and look at what's going on.
For easier levels I wished I could add commands with one click instead of clicking and dragging. For harder levels I wished I could select multiple commands and reposition them up and down, in instances where I needed to shift several commands forward or backward a couple slots to add in something I missed.
The game also feels poorly optimized, I have to play with low quality to get a decent framerate.
All that criticism aside this really is a big step up from the previous game.
