That was a very different kind of game, loved the concept though!

It looks pretty, especially a little man!
I'm 2d artist and didn't understand the game at all((
Thank you for web version!

The idea is great and very original although not very accessible as non-programmers will have a hard time understanding what your game is about.
There are only three puzzles which is a bit short but i liked the concept.

It helps to be a programmer :grin:

Indeed a good example of what one stuck in a while loop would have to endure if they wanted to break out. However, I'll note that it's not very intuitive how one has to put all characters together, because C-family languages don't really care about spaces before symbols like ";", so I'd recommend either explicitly mentioning this, or just parsing the white-spaces out when checking for a solution :) If you were looking for further ideas, a perfect game update would be adding some compiler warnings, but it's true that your approach makes it feel more mysterious.

This was really cool, it kinda reminds me of Baba is You a little bit. Also I like how you're physically restricted to within the bounds of the loop block so you have to use spatial reasoning for some of these puzzles.

Nice game for programmers. Wished there were more levels.

Very fun game ! Too bad it is a bit short !I'm sure you had enough time to add a few more levels :innocent:

I liked the concept, though it is targeted at a pretty specific audience :slight_smile:. Maybe it could be extended with, I don't know, some poetry?

It's a pity there aren't any more levels. Good job!

Very cool entry, right on the spot! The last level was very well done xD.

It could even be used to teach children how to program, and adults to actually read their code haha !
