How it feels

You code step by step through logic puzzles in a retro 2D world, with a darkly comic story unfolding around you.

What players say

Players compare it to TIS-100 and Human Resource Machine, calling it a simplified assembly programming puzzle. The difficulty spikes sharply in later chapters, and opinions split on whether the syntax is consistent or frustrating. Debugging tools are criticized as awkward, with no backward stepping and tiny data cells.
