I really enjoyed playing this game. Funny dialogue, concept is easy to grasp but still challenging at times. Well thought out puzzles and great music. :thumbsup:

I really enjoy this, reminds me of my coding, lol and battle tanks. Great work, -feedback it was hard to read the text with the words being too small or together. I love the music too! Great Work!

This was really fun! I'm a sucker for good puzzle design!

I don't have much more to give in terms of feedback and critique. It was a nice play!

Very well done. The puzzles were interesting, the art was easy on the eyes, it had a __very__ interesting take on the theme, just a really fantastic job. Also, this is the only game so far that I've given a good humor rating.

This is the most complete and polished game I've played so far. Good music and design, animations and art, plenty of puzzles that are of increasing difficulty. Great job!

Solid puzzle design, the progression was good but I think it maybe got a little too hard a little too fast? I guess that's better than not getting the oppurtunity to get difficult. Other than that, there was too much talking all at once. Probably would've been better interspersed throughout the game. And, the tutorial was kinda not good. Took a lot of text for just a bit of gain, i would've preferred key prompts or something. Regardless, once I got into the meat of the game I had a lot of fun. Nicely done

You're really onto something here! The puzzle mechanics work really well, and it's great that you can so quickly and easily just reset and try again if you fail, so it doesn't get too frustrating. You could maybe split up the intro dialogue into smaller pieces and have some gameplay in between so the player gets to the fun part more quickly. Overall very good job!

One of the better games I have played in this LD!

\+ Nice and tricky puzzles.

\+ Humour with the dialogues.

\+ Quick restarts of puzzles.

\+ Catchy chip music (which I guess is not yours since you are not in the audio category)

\- The intro screen with the logo did lag a bit (yeah it's the only negative I can find about this game :) )

well done! Makes me remembering games played on the C64 in my childhood.

A great game! I dove right in without explanation, because I was curious how much the UI would help me out. I managed to understand the game just fine in under a minute. At the same time, the puzzles were still (increasingly) challenging! While the intro dialogue was funny, it was a bit long (given the focus of the game). Perhaps you could have spread the dialogue out a bit across puzzles.

Really solid puzzle design here. Great job! The writing and humour is on point and I think you executed well. Perhaps making the dialogue skippable when repeating (very minor nit pick)/ Great entry

Awesome puzzle game! The dialogues are funny, and the mechanics is very interesting. The puzzles are challenging but not too much - just like I prefer it!

Really polished overall -- nice pixel art and 8-bit sounds. :) The dialogue at the beginning adds a lot of fun background to an otherwise simple game. Great entry!
