Completely disagree with all of the negative reviews here - this is a puzzle game worth taking the time over and breaking down every step of the process. The manual alone contains enough information to work out what to do, it just requires patience and problem solving to work out what it is trying to tell you, and then the ability to think like a robot and break the problem down into microscopic steps in order to write the program.

Omg glad you liked the game ^-^
Seems fun and interesting but I simply don't understand what to do even though I've played some coding-themed games before. Definitely needs some tutorial levels.
crow-seeds responds:
Partially prefilled the first level with written code now. So you should be able to run it and get a feel for it!
love the style and presentation. Looks like its over my head though ... maybe start with simpler puzzles so people understand the interface first?
Nothing is explained,. . you need to have pop up tutorials
That tell the player what each item is.. Similar to any program out on the market, if you hover the mouse over an icon or image it should explain what it does..
the instructions in child format is cute but very frustrating for someone who has no idea what is going on.
How about you make a video sovling a few of the puzzles?
crow-seeds responds:
The first level is simple though, don’t think I can make it simpler unless I put the output directly next to the input. Is there a specific part of the manual that you’re confused on? I’ll try making changes to the manual to make it easier.
It’s not for everyone haha, it’s a game that would appeal more to a robot than a human since it’s essentially writing machine code (real life robot language). Try experimenting or reading the manual some more! The first level can be done in 2 lines of code!
Edit: If you hover over the instructions, it tells you in English what they do! I'll make a video too solving the first level, got some pretty cool ideas on that haha.
too complicated for me but nice art and voice acting

It's not for everyone, haha. Glad you enjoyed the non-gameplay aspects of it!
