How it feels
You guide a simple robot through grid-based puzzles by building decision trees, feeling like a gentle teacher coaching an eager but limited learner through logic challenges.

What players say
Players praise the game as a solid way to learn simple AI programming, though opinions split on a key design choice: some find the lack of bot memory frustrating, while others enjoy the primitive-bot challenge. The controls can be fiddly but the undo button helps, and there are 72 levels.
